.NEW BRITISH SPECIES, ETC., IN 1861-62. 95 



by Charles Turner in Scotland at the end of 1860, must be 

 referred to this species. 



The true oljyiniifi, Fab., is a larger and less convex species, 

 presenting somewhat the appearance of ater, De G., and 

 with distinct tubercles on the clypeus ; whereas in foetidus, 

 Fab., the clypeus presents a taint transverse line, and even in 

 the male the tubercles are scarcely perceptible. The elytra 

 are pitchy red, more or less suffused, and with a darker 

 sub-apical patch.

Most resembles porcu:t, Fab., but immediately known 

 from that species by its more convex form and polished ap- 

 pearance, and particularly by the smoother and broader 

 elevation of the middle of the interstices on the elytra. It 

 comes next to tcs^ellatus in our lists, ai]d is of the same shape, 

 and in the same section, as that species. 



Taken at Mickleham {^in stereo re huma no) and determined 

 by Dr. Power, to whose unwearied energy, discerning eye and 

 generous nature our lists and collections are most eminently 

 indebted ; subsequently found, under similar unsavory cir- 

 cumstances, by myself in the same locality, also by Mr. 

 Brewer ; and detected in the collections of Messrs. S. 

 Stevens and J. Scott, both of whom found it at Mickleham.
