66 COLEOPTERA. 



Hutchinson. Both of those appear (as are these referred to 

 by Erichson) to be females: compared with cinnamomea, 

 they are rather smaller, distinctly less oblong and more ovate, 

 with the antennce shorter and entirely rufo-testaceous, the 

 sides of the thorax less abruptly contracted in front, and with 

 more rounded anterior angles, the elytra shorter and wider, 

 with the punctures of the striae stronger and of the interstices 

 more evident, the larger punctures in the alternate interstices 

 being larger and more numerous, and the legs shorter. 



Compared with the § of the species last above recorded, 

 they are broader and shorter, with the antennal club not 

 quite so strong, and with its second joint shorter and more 

 transverse, and the three joints preceding the club more trans- 

 verse, the punctures of the striae and larger interstitial punc- 

 tures stronger, and the posterior femora rounded beneath at 

 the apex.

I have recorded as above, with some slight reserve, an 

 insect taken in flood-refase near York by Mr. H. Hutchin- 

 son, and now in my collection; also some further specimens 

 taken in Scotland by Dr. Sharp and referred by him likewise 

 to A. ^citaj with tolerable certainty, and for one of which 

 I am indebted to him. 



It can, apparently, only be confounded v/ith A. dubia, from 

 which its tibiae being less dilated at the apex, its thorax being 

 widest at or very near the base (instead of nearer the middle), 

 and thence narrowed to the front, with a much more shallow 

 emarsination for the reception of the head, should serve to 

 distinguish it. 



Erichson likens it chiefly to A» calcarataj from which it
