34 DESCRIPTION OF INSECTS 



Feet rufous ; venter black. 



This resembles Scarites gibbtis, of whicli no description 

 has been given, sufficiently chaiacteristic, to enable us to 

 judge of their differences. It may not be improper to ob- 

 serve here, that the same figure of Fuess. Arch. — the 17tli 

 of plate 29, has been referred to, both for the S. gibbus and 

 Carnbus ? globator ; it is probable tiierefore that they are 

 one species, particularly as Herbst calls it globator, and has 

 the S. gibbus of Fabr. as a synonym.
