or interesting Indigenous bisects. 279 



House, Yorkshire, and presented to me by Mr. Simmons, who un- 

 fortunately had laid a book upon it whilst on the setting-board, by 

 which accident the antenna? were broken off and lost. 



Fam. Telephokid^e. 



Genus 18S. Telephorus. 



20. JEthiops. Black, shining, clothed with short ochreous pubescence : 

 trophi and base of antenna? beneath ochreous : thorax transverse, a 

 little narrowed before, sides margined and lurid : elytra thickly punc- 

 tured : legs piceou.s, base of tibue ochreous : 2 to 2 -J- lines long. 



Having taken many specimens of this insect, none of which agree 

 with Fabricius's description of his C. pulicaria, nor w T ith Olivier's 

 figure, which has the entire border of the thorax ochreous, I have 

 retained the name I first proposed. They were found on rushes and 

 grass the middle of June 1827, on the sides of Red Skrees, a moun- 

 tain near Ambleside, where I also discovered the true Linnsean T. ob- 

 scurus, for which other varieties had been substituted in the London 

 cabinets up to that period. 



21 b . apicalis. 



This is probably a variety of T. fuscicornis of Olivier : the antennae 

 and palpi are darker, and it is distinguished by a blackish stripe 

 down the four anterior thighs and tibiae. 



27. unicolor. Long and narrow : clothed with short pubescence : entirely 

 ochreous excepting the eyes, which are black and prominent, and the 

 fuscous wings : thorax bright, shining, not transverse ovate, the base 

 truncated, all the angles rounded : elytra duller, thickly punctured, 

 with 2 obscure longitudinal lines on each : 4 lines long, 1 broad. 



As this does not agree with Paykull's description of C. pilosa, I 

 have retained my name. It was taken on the wing in the evening 

 in Darent Wood. 



Fam. Bostricid^e. 

 Genus 331. Bostrichus. 



3. Waringii. Ochreous, shining ; head black, concave ; thorax pale ferru- 

 ginous, scabrous, with longish ochreous hairs in front ; elytra punctate- 

 striate, the suture piceous, an elongate oval space on the outer margin, 

 and a stripe down the middle of each beyond the centre, but not reach- 

 ing the apex, piceous also ; underside blackish, legs deep ochreous : 

 length 14- line. 



I am indebted to Mr. Waring for my specimen, which he took in 

 a house in Bristol. It is allied to B. domesticus, Linn.
