14 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



The Fabrician description is, — 



" Longirostris, ovatus, fuscus ; linea longitudinali alba ; 

 corpus parvum, rostrum arcuatum nigrum. Thorax 

 fuscus liuea dorsali alba. Elytra striata gibba ; sutura 

 alba. Subtus cinereus." 



It appears to live on the sallow in Germany and France, 

 but to be rare. Amongst Walton's types in the British 

 Museum is an identical specimen sent to him under this 

 name by Germar. It is rather a large species ; my specimen 

 is about the size of C. inaffectatus, or a large C. sulcicollis. 

 It belongs to the first section, the posterior femora not being 

 dentate, and is at once distinguished thoroughly from every 

 other by tlie broad line of white scales extending from the 

 nape of the neck to the apex of the elytra. Taken by my 

 friend Mr. Joseph Sidebothara, of Manchester, last spring, 

 on the Welsh coast, " crawling on the sand." — John A. 

 Power ; 52, Burton Crescent, November 18, 1865. 



New British Coleoptera.— In the ' Entomologist's Monthly 

 Magazine' for December the identification of six new spe-

 tum of Duftschmidt, taken by Mr. Bold near Newcastle- 

 on-Tyne. 2. Atomaria Barani of Brisout de Barneville, de- 

 scribed in the ' Entomologist's Annual' for 1865 as a variety 

 of A. fumata. ,3. Trachyphlaeus aristalus, a species sepa- 

 rated by Gyllenhal from T. squamulatus, of which Mr. 

 Walton considered it a variety. 4. Omalium Pineti of 

 Thomson, a specimen of which was taken by Mr. Sharp last 

 June, under the bark of a fir-stump at Rannoch. 5. Leptura 

 rufa of Brulle, a species as large as L. scutellata, and of 

 which a single specimen was captui-ed during the past sum- 

 mer by Mr, Thorncroft at Holme Bush, in Sussex. 6, Ato- 

 maria impressa of Erichson, of which a single specimen was 

 found by Mr, Sharp at the bottom of a hayrick near Lee. 



Death of Peter Bouchard. — At the November Meeting of
