to those given in the Ttible under 8 (1). For instance, the front moutli- 

 edge is always to a greater or less extent produced, with the lower part of 

 face concave ; there are never any upcurved bristles on the jowls, 

 hut an even and rather dense single row of bristles along the sides of 

 mouth-opening, tlie other pubescence on the jowls being short. The 

 proboscis is always slender and polished black. The middle legs are 

 distinctly longest, and all are weakly bristled with only one preapical 

 bristle to all tibiae, seldom more than one bristle behind middle tibiae, 

 and only one antero-dorsal bristle on hind tibiae. The cubital and discal 

 veins often converge towards the tip. Finally, sexual dichroism is very 

 little evident, the females more resembling the males in coloration and 

 markings than in the majority of species under Division I. The males 

 of Pseudolimnophora differ from those of Limnophora sens, strict, in 

 having the frons almost or quite as wide as in the females and with a 

 similar aiTangement of the bristles ; particularly the two upper bristles 

 of each row point backwards and slightly outwards, as in the females,

CATHORMIOCERUS ATTAPHILUS Bris. : 

 AN ADDITION TO THE BRITISH COLEOPTERA. 



BY J. H. KEYS, r.E.S. 



Plate I. 



CafJiormiocei'us atfojjhilus was originally described by Ch. Brisout 

 in Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. 1880, p. 233, and Bull. p. xxiv, as follows : — 



" Oblongo-ovalus, opaco-squamosus, thorace subelongato, lateribus rotiii:- 

 dato, scrobe liueari ad oculos desceudente, scapo * basile fortiter siibajigulatu 

 curvato, f uuiculo crassu, elytris breviter cinereo-Lif-pidis. Long. '6"2 a 4'2 mill." 



The following is a free translation of the description in French : — - 



Body clothed with rather tiat ruiinded scales and semi-erect club-like setae. 

 Head aud rostium with very close piuicturatiou, the latter gradually narrowed 

 to the apex, depressed, with central longitudinal furrow ; bcape thickened at 

 apex and thence gradually thinner to base, and arched between the latter and 

 the middle: luniculus thick, the joints transverse Irom the third onward, the 

 tirst conical, somewhat widened on the inner side, the second almost as long as 

 broad. Thorax a little longer than Avide, truncate at apex, slightly rounded 

 behind, and rather strongly so at sides; punctured like the head. Elytra 

 ovate, more than half as wide again as the thorax, rather depi'essed on disk ; 

 finely punctate-striale ; interstices each with a series of ashy, semi-erect, club- 

 shaped setae. Legs fair!}' robust, with tarsal claws free. Second ventral segment 



* On p. xxiv of the Bulletin, 18S0, " atapo basile " was given as " scapo basi gracili."
