Lygel ae. 8 5 
Generally distributed, in moss, rubbish, dead leaves, 
roots of grass, ete. 
A variety of this species occurs with all the tibiz en- 
tirely pale ochreous, the third joint of the antennz as well 
as the second more or less pale, and the pronotum less 
strongly punctured at the base. This has been described 
by Thomson as sabulicola; it occurs on sandy coasts. I 
admitted this as a species in my Synopsis, but feel that 
the characters are not strong enough to maintain it as 
such, 
R. antennatus, Schilil.— Head and thorax black 
and shining, elytra with the membrane undeveloped, 
the corium more or less pale at the base, legs entirely
