synonyme of the present species. I am induced to give 
much weight to the authority of Panzer, for he supplied

to be rare, or at least very local; those in the Cabinet of 
the Entomological Society came from the Rev. Mr. Kirby.

of the face covered with a silvery down ; antennz short, cla- 
vate, but little longer than the head; a longitudinal carina, 
rather elevated, rising at the centre of the face, and passing

notch at the base of the longitudinal one.

gitudinal scratches at the base of the dorsolum, and a few striz 
at its apex; a triangular depression at the base of the meta~-

striated ; the tegule piceous; the wings iridescent, their ner- 
vures piceous; the legs black, very pubescent; the anterior
