NORTHUMBERLAND AND DURHAM. 185 



The specimen from Hedgehope is very deeply coloured, and 

 has the sides of the thorax entirely, and the legs and tarsi nearly 

 concolorous; and the antenna3 only slightly pitchy beneath. 



This is probably the T. ater of Mr. Selby's list. The pubescens 

 is griseous, not ochreous, as represented by Curtis.
