80. Latridius filiformis, Gyll. Ins. Suec. iv. 143, 23 



1827; Parfitt, Zool. 5544 (1857). 



This is the Latridius angustatus of the Stephensian 

 cabinet and of his " Systematic Catalogue," a name subse- 

 quently sunk by its author in his Illustrations, Mand. iii. 

 115, 11 (August, 1830), as synonymous with L. elongatus, 

 Curtis, Brit. Ent. vii. Tab. and Fo. 311 (June, 1830), whose 

 description he copies nearly word for word. In the second 

 edition of tke " Nomenclature of British Insects" (1853), 

 Mr. Stephens again brings forward angustatus as a species, 

 and cites as synonymous therewith elongatus , Curtis, and 

 Jiliformis, Gyll., appending to each a mark of doubt ; finally, 

 in his Manual Brit. Col. 129, 1046 (1839), he re-adops 

 elongatus, Curtis, and transcribes the description of the 

 Illustrations, with some slight abridgment. 



The present species may be at once distinguished from 

 L. elongatus, Curtis, by its small flat eyes, more parallel 

 form, transverse thorax, sub-trigonal head, the finer and 

 more closely set punctures of the striae on the elytra, &c. kc.
