pale ochrooiis. Legs pale tostapoons, anlcrior coxal slicaths marf^incd with 

 whitish ; thighs with a fine black line beneath ; on the sides a row of small 

 piceous punctures ; tibicB with fine, short, black spines, base and apex naiTowly 

 black ; tarsi with apex of 3rd joint black.

Length \\ — IJ line. 



Tliis species, which appears to be good and distinct, has doubtless 

 been confounded with 8. saltatoria, to which it has near affinity. It 

 may be distinguished from it by its somewhat broader form, by the 

 colour not being so deep a black, by the greater density of the pilosity, 

 by the first marginal yitta of the elytra being long, and by the greater 

 size and distinctness of the markings. 



Dr. Sahlbcrg found his examples under sea-weed on the shores of 

 the White Sea. I have taken specimens on the coast at Folkestone, 

 Deal, Isle of Wight, and Stevenston, and also at inland localities.
