CALODERA RUFESCENS, Kraatz : AN ADDITION" TO OUR LIST. 

 BY G. C. CHAMPION, F.Z.S. 



Wben introducing C. protensa^ Mann., as a British insect [Ent. 

 Mo. Mag., xliv, p. 225 (October, 1908)], I stated that there were two 

 other species of the genus likely to occur here, viz., C. rufeseens, 

 Kraatz, and G. ultfjinosa^YiV. The former can now be included in our 

 list as I possess a specimen of it from 8andown, Isle of Wight, taken 

 in June, 1898, and two others were found by Mr. B. Harwood at 

 Colchester in 1906. C. rufescena bears much the same relation to 

 C. riparia as does C. proteiisa to C. nigrita. Mulsant and Eey 

 (Aleocharaires. p. 533), distinguish the two species thus: — 



Fourth antennal joint nearly or quite as broad as the following. Abdomen sparsely 

 punctured upon the first four segments, more densely so upon the fifth. Body 

 black, shining riparia. 



Fourth antennal joint a little narrower than the following. Abdomen somewhat 

 densely and sub-uniformly punctured. Body pitchy-brown or rufeseent, 

 moderately shining rufeseens. 



The present insect will doubtless be found mixed with C. riparia 

 in British collections, as the two species seem to have the same dis- 

 tribution in France and Germany. Both are variable in colour, the 

 Sandown example of C. rufeseens being almost wholly rufo-testaceous, 

 and one of my C. riparia, from Woking, having the body shining 

 black.
