 Schonherr, in 1817, corrected the error, proposing the 

 name subceneus, under which it had been described by 

 Redtenbacher.

Mr. Crotch (Ent. vol. i. p. 226) states that, as the Jlavipes 

 of Fabricius is an Anohiuni (accordin^^ to Kiesenwetter), the 

 above is the corj-ect synonymy of the insect known to us as 

 D. Jlavipes, a species readily distinguished by its pale tibiae, 

 but very likely to be mixed with D. fusculus, 111., which re- 

 sembles it in that respect, but is larger, and has the antennse 

 entirely black. 



All these three Dasytes agree in possessing a rugulose 

 or scabrous punctuation, and quadrate thorax, forming the 

 sub-genus Hapalogluia of Thomson, who has separated 

 another group of nearly allied species as Pdlocorse^ in 

 which the elytra are generally punctate, and the thorax 

 transverse, and plainly margined at the base. To this latter 

 group belongs the D. horealis of Thomson, wherein the elytra 

 are scabrous as in the first group ; and Mr. Crotch has seen 

 two examples, captured in the New Forest (both females), 

 which must be very close to that species, having the elytra 

 scabrous, without any punctuation, and the elytra decidedly 

 transverse, but being a little smaller than D. horealu 

 should be.
