ANNALS OP THE LYCEUM. 401 



black, with impressed, punctured striae : pectus each side bright 

 rufous. 



Length rather less than seven-twentieths of an inch. 



Herbst considers this as a variety of the thoracicus Fabr., to 

 which indeed it is very similar, but that species differs in having 

 the tip of the clypeus, or the transverse frontal line, reflected, 

 and the third joint of the antennae much longer and more dilated 

 than the second. Our species is also very .similar to the verti- 

 cinus Beauvois, but the latter is greatly larger, the head is eithei 

 partially or entirely rufous, and the third joint of the antennae is 

 much longer than the second; it has been called rubricollis bj 

 Herbst, but Beauvois' name has the priority. 



(^Belongs to Elater ; Beauvois never described the species. — 

 Lec]
