Several specimens (accompanied by Somoeusa acumi-

 June, 1863, by Dr. J. A. Power, in the "runs" leading 

 from a nest of Formica fuUginosa, at the root of an old 

 beech-tree in Headley Lane, Mickleham. 



It is closely allied to O. lucens, Muls., differing from that 

 species in being entirely ferruginous-testaceous, rather larger, 

 more robust and more shining; with its thorax widest a little 

 above the middle and much more contracted and rounded 

 off behind, its punctuation not so close, and pubescence 

 rather stouter and longer ; its antennte stouter, with the apical 

 joint longer, and its abdomen shining, very slightly and 

 remotely punctured, — in which latter respect it differs from 

 any Oxy]ioda known to me. 



In general appearance it somewhat resembles IsnhnocjlGs> 

 cortlcalis, but with the antennse of Ilyohates forticornu 

 It has not been taken again, in spite of the most determinec 

 efforts of many collectors ; and I am informed that a spe 

 ciraen sent to Paris was returned as belonging to a specie 

 unknown to French Entomolocrists.
