 2)iIosi(i/i, Besser, a species Avhicli occurs iu southern Europe and the 

 north of Africa ; nevertheless, it would appear to be not quite so large, 

 and to have the antennje (except the club), the tibia?, and the tarsi, of 

 a bright rufo-ferruginous ; and its elytra are, I suspect, more straight- 

 ened at the sides. It is depressed and black, and its entire surface is 

 densely clothed with elongated cinereous hairs, which are intermingled 

 with a few darker ones ; and its scape is somewhat lengthened, and 

 its tibia* are unusually robust, for a member of this genua. T. V. "W.

A veiy distinct little species, which may easily be known by its 

 comparatively small size (for a fimeUa), by tlie conspicuous subas- 

 peratcd punctules of its head and prothorax (the latter of which is 

 considerably rounded at the sides), by its rather small and scutiform 

 scntellum, and (more particularly) by the structure of its elytra — on 

 whicli the punctures, tubercles, and costse are almost obsolete, but 

 which have their entire sui-face coarsely wrinkled, or transversely 

 malleated — the inequalities, however, becoming less decided as they 

 approach the scutellum. The discovery of this species is due to 

 the researches of Dr. J. D. Hooker, who met with it, as I am told by 

 Mr. Blackmore, in the " middle regions " of the Atlas range.
