Pale yellowish-white. Head suffascd with i-)iukish, especially on the nasng.

Occurs among papers, and in collections, &c. 
I have not examined living examples. In Prof. Westwood's col- 
lection are a considerable number ; to one of his drawings 1 find a note 
attached to the effect that " in the beginning of July a number of spe- 
cimens were found in the seats of rush-bottomed chairs." Immature 
specimens are paler, and want the wing-scales ; these latter readily fall 
off. It is probable that some of the descriptions given by authors for 
Atrojpos pertain to this insect. Latreille's note to Fsociis pedicularius, 
respecting the copulation of F. pulsatorius, certainly refers to GlotUlla.

Amongst Professor Westwood's drawings, is a coloured representa- 
tion of an insect (which I believe is lost) that appears to closely agree 
with the above description : either it was immature, or the wing-scales 
had fallen off. A note attached states that it was " found in some old 
honey-comb." 
Lepinotus inquilinits, as the type of his genus, is described by Von 
Heyden as ])ossessing three ocelli. Vide the remarks following the 
generic description of Clothilla.

Shining pitchy-black, short and stout. Ahdomen very convex, smooth, the 
integuments rather hard, the segmental divisions scarcely visible. Leys dark testa- 
ceous. Wing-scales larger in proportion than in C. pulsatoria, oval, testaceous, 
hairy. The thread of the antennae much finer than in C. %mlsaioria.
