22. Cis Alni, Gyll. ; Waterhouse, Trans. Ent. Soc. Ser 

 2, V. 206, 8 (1860).

^ Its elongate form, shining surface, the parallel widely-mar- 

 gined sides and salient anterior angles of its thorax, and short 

 scanty pubescence, serve at once to distinguish it from all of 

 its congeners hitherto registered as British. " Hawkhurst, 

 Kent." I am informed that Dr. Power has reared it copi- 

 ously from boleti gathered by him in Hampshire. Mr. 

 Brewer has met with it near Reigate, Surrey. 

 23. Cis festivus, Panz. ; Wat'erhouse, Trans. Ent. Soc. 

 Ser. 2, V. 205, 6(1860).

 Annales d. 1. Soc. Ent. de France, Ser. 2, vi. T 3 

 f. 34(1848). * ' 



Nearly allied to C. oUongus, Mellie {pigmceus, Waterh.), 

 from which, however, its shorter, more ovate form, ferru- 

 ginous hue, and coarse sculpture, will serve readily to dis- 

 tinguish it. 



I have taken specimens at Colney Hatch, Hampstead, and 

 in various other places near London, in the autumn and 

 winter; rare. 



24. Cis FuscATUS, Mellie; Waterhouse, Trans. Ent. Soc. 

 Ser. 2, V. 205, 7 (1860). 

 Cisfuscatus, Mellie, Annales d. 1. Soc. Ent. de France, 

 Ser. 2, vi. 352, 55, T. 4, f. 1 (1848). 

 Its narrow form and small size (|~| lin.) at once distin- 

 guish this species from all of its ascertained indigenous con- 

 geners.
