40 COLEOPTERA. 



as must also the insects which I have myself hitherto attri- 

 buted with doubt to ochropus. Mr. Crotch's ochropus is 

 also, in my opinion, hrunnicorjiis ; it has been named mo- 

 rosus by M. Brisout, but certainly does not agree with the 

 desci'iption of that species. M. ochropus must, therefore, 

 be erased from our list ; but the species brought forward by 

 me heretofore as M. Kunzei is corroborated by M. Brisout.

Determined as British by M. Brisout from specimens sent 

 by Mr. Crotch and myself. 



This species may be known from M. pedicularius, Er. 

 {nee Wat. Cat.), by its lighter antennae, the more rounded 

 sides of its thorax (which is scarcely so closely punctured), 

 its more abruptly broadened hinder tibiae, and its rather 

 broader anterior tibise, the apical teeth of which are sharper 

 and longer.

In the collections of Messrs. Crotch and Bold and 

 Dr. Power. Determined by M. Brisout. 



The anterior tibiae are very slightly widened, with the 

 entire outer margin toothed, the denticulations being stronger 

 towards the apex, with the last but one most prominent.

This insect, common at Mickleham on Teuerium scorO' 



do7iia, differs from true pedieularius in being rather smaller 



and narrower, less convex, duller (being more finely and 



closely punctured, with the punctuation at the base of the
