38 CATALOGUE OF THE INSECTS OP 



Va)\ Elytra, antenuae, and legs rufo-piceis, or rufo-testaceous, 

 the anus and the margin of the fifth abdominal segment above 

 testaceous. 



Staphylinus ochraceus, G^ll. Ins. Suec, ii., 352. — iv., 480. — 

 Gjrohjpnus ochraceus, Steph. Illust, Mand., v., 263. — 

 Xantholinus ochraceus, Heer., Fn. Col. Helv., i., 245. 

 Common. The variety is rare, and has occurred at Long 

 Benton, Ravensworth, and Gibside. 



Small varieties have the thoracic punctures in the dorsal 

 series multiplied ; and those in the lateral arcs are often very 

 numerous. Xantholinus angicstatus, and X. quadratus, Steph., 

 appear to be formed from these diversities. The lighter coloured 

 examples, named X. ochraceus, have the diff*erence of colour in 

 their favour, and the head is less triangular, with the posterior 

 angles rather more rounded, than in the type.
