none of which have been yet met with in this country, akhoiigh 

 by accident P. fernigineus was given as the type of TJiymalus 

 in Samouelle's Entomologist's Useful Compendium. 



Thymalus limhatus is another valuable Genus added to our 

 Fauna by Mr. D. Bydder, who took it in the New Forest in 

 abundance during the months of June and July. It appears to 

 be generally distributed in that neighbourhood, as I have since 

 met with it occasionally in June near Brockenhurst and Lynd- 

 hurst. Upon stripping off the bark of decayed trees, the 

 insect will generally be fomid adhering to it like a Coccus or 

 a scale, from which circumstance we are led to believe that 

 like many of the Nitidulce it feeds upon Bolefi, Fungi, &c. 

 especially such as are found in similar situations : they no 

 doubt at particular periods are to be found also in flowers, 

 as Fabricius gives an Italian plant, the Dianthus Carthusiano- 

 rum, as their habitat, and Mr. Ingpen found a single specimen 

 upon a flower in Kent, during the present year. 



Boletus versicolor (Changeable Boletus) is given with the 

 insect.
