Anisotoma lateritia, Mannerlieim, ihid. 1852, part i,* p. 345. 



Breviter ovata, convexa, rufo-fcmiginca, oculis antennarumque clavA nigro-fuscis, 

 thoracc transverso, crehre punctata, angulis posticis suhrectis, elytris profunda striato- 

 punctatis, interstitiis confuse seriato-punctatis. Long. 1§ — lat. 1 lin. 



From Sitklia. 



The punctuation of tlie elytra of this species evidently somewhat 

 resembles that of A. circinipes ; but in the absence of more detailed 

 characters (the above is all that is said about the insect by Manner- 

 heim), its considerably larger size (the continental line being one- 

 tenth, and the English one-twelfth of an inch), difterence in shape, 

 and deeply punctate-striate elytra, on which there is no mention of 

 any transverse strigosity, seem, considering the different localities of 

 the two insects, sufficient to separate it from A. circinipes.

I am indebted to Mr. Gr. C. Champion for both sexes of this 

 species, of which he has taken two males and three females during the 

 past summer and autumn, near Claremont, Surrey. The largest of these 

 males is somewhat less in size than my largest example of A. calcarata, 

 to which it may be compared in general facies, its linear anterior 

 tibiae, and the small apical joint of its antennae : but it differs from 

 that abundant and Protean species in being apparently always of a 

 uniform clear f eri'uginous colour, of rather longer build, with shorter 



* It may be here noted, that Gemminger and v. Harold quote the parts of the ' Bulletin de 

 Moscou ' erroneously. The publication for each year of that work consists of foui Niunbcrs, 

 ■whereof 1 and 2 form Part 1, and 3 and 4 form Part 2. These two parts have a separate scheme 

 of pagination, and Gemm. and v. H. mislead by quoting A. lateritia as Bull. Mosc. 1852, ii, p. 345 : 

 the Number of issue need not be quoted, an it has no different paging ; but the Part must bo 

 quoted, for the above reason. — £. C. K.
