cabinet, mixed up with Aglenus brunneus (Anommatus ob- 

 soletus, Steph.), and I have heard it stated that Mr. Parfitt 

 has recently captured it near Exeter, but under what circum- 

 stances I know not. 



First described by P. W. J. Miiller in Germar's Mag. 

 der Entom. iv. 190, 5 (1821), under the name of Lyctus 

 12-striatiis. The genus Anommatus was proposed by Wes- 

 mael, in the Bullet, de l'Acad. de Bruxelles, ii. 339, Tab. iv. 

 (1836), who, supposing' that the insect which served him as 

 type was new to science, bestowed upon it the specific appel- 

 lation of terricola.
