CRYPTOPHAGUS PALLIDUS, Stubm ; A NEW BRITISH BEETLE. 

 BY NOEMAN H. JOY, M.R.C.S., F.E.8. 



I have the pleasure of recording another British species of the 

 genus Cryptophaqus, viz., C. pallidus, Sturm, but it is entirely due to 

 Mr. Britten's critical eye that the species can be added to the list. 

 He sent me for examination several supposed specimens of C. dentatus, 

 Herbst , and suggested that they could hardly all belong to this 

 species. I had little difficulty in identifying the majority of them 

 from Ganglbauer's " Die Kafer von Mitteleuropa " as C. pallidus, and 

 this diagnosis has been confirmed by Capt. Deville, who has kindly 

 given me continental specimens. 



According to Ganglbauer this species is very closely allied to C. 

 dentatus, but is generally rather smaller, with the thorax narrower in 

 proportion to the elytra, the " callosities " distinctly less developed, 

 and the elytra shorter, and I may add, slightly less parallel-sided. 

 Erichsou regarded it as synonymous with C. dentatus, but Ganglbauer 

 says he finds the distinguishing characters quite constant in a long
