ANNALS OP THE LYCEUM. 401 



black, with impressed, punctured strife: pectus each side bright 

 rufous. 



Length rather less than seven-twentieths of an inch. 



Herbst considers this as a variety of the thoran'cus Fabr., to 

 which indeed it is very similar, but that species differs in having 

 the tip of the clypeus, or the transverse frontal line, reflected, 

 and the third joint of the antenn£e much longer and more dilated 

 than the second. Our species is also very similar to the vcrti- 

 cinus Beauvois, but the latter is greatly larger, the head is either 

 partially or entirely rufous, and the third joint of the antennae is 

 much longer than the second ; it has been called ruhricoUis by 

 Herbst, but Beauvois' name has the priority. 



[Belongs to Hater ; Beauvois never described the species. — 

 Lec]
