108 COLEOPTERA. 



Mr. Waterhouse has taken it at Deal ; and Dr. Power on 

 the South Devon coast. 



81. Ceuthorhynchideus hepatictjs, Gyll. in Schon. 



Syn. Ins. iv. part i. 482, 10 ; G. R. Crotch, " The 

 Entomologist," vol. i. p. 259. 



Mr. Crotch states that a specimen from Dr. Power's Col- 

 lection near C, Jloralis^ but distinct, has been returned by 

 M. Ch. Brisout as this species. 



The two insects have long been separated, I believe, in 

 Mr. S. Stevens' Collection ; and a single specimen, identical 

 with Dr. Power's, was taken at Seaford in August last by 

 Mr. C. O. Waterhouse. 



It somewhat resembles C. jiorallSf but is larger, more 

 convex, with no sutural lighter streak, shorter limbs, and 

 lighter coloured tarsi. According to Schonherr, the tibiae 

 also should be "dilutius testaceis," and the elytra " dilu- 

 tius fusca seu hepatica, opaca, squamulis cinereis nitidis ad- 

 spersa." I have seen nothing answering to this coloration. 



82. Ceuthorhynchideus minimus (Walton, in litt.), 



E. C. Rye, Ent. Monthly Mag. vol. ii. p. 11. 



In the above place will be found a description (taken 

 from a letter written by the late Mr, Walton to Mr. Water- 

 house) of this species, which appears to have been founded 

 on two examples supposed to have been placed by Dr. Leach 

 in the National Collection, — where, however, they are not 

 now to be found. 



It would seem to resemble C.floralis, from which (accord- 

 ing to Mr. Walton's description) it may be immediately 

 distinguished by having the thorax and elytra beautifully 

 variegated with white scales (the latter especially being 

 spotted as in Coeliodes didymus)^ and by its sides, front, and
