4th segments togetherj — the segmental divisions, also, being 

 stronger. From squamiilatus it recedes in its much stouter 

 and more evident elytral setae, its larger eyes, laterally more 

 rounded and bristly thorax, rather longer second abdominal 

 segment, and less horizontal antennal furrow or "scrobs," 

 which is directed at first rather upwards and then down 

 towards the eye, and has its upper margin not so sharply 

 defined.

 A single example of this species, which diff'ers from all 

 our recorded Baridii in being densely clothed with brown 

 scales, variegated above and sparingly scaled beneath with 

 white, was taken by Mr. Champion in June last, by pro- 

 miscuous sweeping on the Kentish coast. Mr. Champion's 

 insect appears to agree best with Ferris' vestitus, now con- 

 sidered specifically identical with B. scolopaceus^ which 

 occurs rarely on water-plants on the continent,
