Mr. Britten at Great Salkekl, and by Mr. Tomlin in the river Wye, 

 and formerly occurred in the London district, as T have seen several 

 specimens marked " Battersea, E. C. Rye," ex coll. T. A. Marshall in 

 coll. Keys. 



R. sodalis, Er. Resembles nitens in the red-yellow antennae and 

 claws, but is broader and flatter in appearance, with the thorax broader 

 in proportion to its length, and the basal angles more produced. 

 Thorax very dull, by reason of a ground-work of extremelv fine sub- 

 confluent punctures, with an irregular admixture of punctures about 

 twice as large as those of the ground-work, the base and side margins 

 narrowly granulate. Elytra shining, nigro-aeneous, the striae finer and 

 less deeply punctured than in our other species, seventh interstice 

 cariniform and very prominent. These particulars are taken from a 

 specimen captured by Mr. Champion at Christow, Devon, 24.8.07, and 

 recorded in this Magazine (Vol. xliv, p. 33), as E. nitens. Gangl- 

 bauer says of the species " Tn Bnyern bei Brock an der Amper, in der 

 Schweiz bei SehafEhausen, in Siidfrankreich in den Departements Var 

 und Herault. Sehr selten." ; and Flach (Stett. Ent. Zeit., 1889, p. 

 138), speaks of it as nearly forgotten.
