Heptaulucus. | L.AMELLICORNIA. 35 
male, with long and rather thick sete at sides; elytra with six 
raised longitudinal lines on each, the spaces between these being 
rather broad and very finely punctured, sides set with thick and 
long hairs; legs yellowish-brown with femora yellow, posterior tarsi 
elongate. L. 3-45 mm. 
In the male the thorax is a little broader than in the female, and is 
more diffusely punctured on dise, and the clypeus is more even. 
Sandy places, in dung ; very local, but not uncommon where it occurs. Deal ; 
Hastings ; Sandwich ; Chesil Bank; Dartmoor, Devon; Burnham, Somerset ; Swan- 
sea; Norwich; Wallasey, Cheshire (one specimen, Wilding); it is recorded in 
Stephens’ [lustrations (Mand. iii. 208) as “taken most abundantly by J. Rawlins, 
Hsq., in a field by Rivelstone Wood, near Edinburgh,” but Dr. Sharp considers that 
the record is erroneous, 
H.testudinarius, Ff. Smaller than the preceding, finely pubescent, 
of a dull black colour, with the elytra black or pitchy, and marked with 
rather large and irregular round yllowish-red spots; head large, with 
clypeus somewhat raised in middle in both sexes, and emarginate at 
apex, thickly sculptured ; antennze and palpi brownish-red, the former 
with a very large blackish club; thorax transverse, very thickly and 
strongly punctured, the punctures being large and more or less confluent 
towards sides; elytra with six raised lines on each, the spaces between 
being broad and very obsoletely punctured; legs reddish-brown. 
L. 25-4 mm. 
Male as a rule much smaller than the female, and with the spurs of the 
anterior tibie curved at apex; in the female the latter are simple and 
pointed. 
Sandy places, in dung; very local, and not common; Woking, Bagshot, Esher, 
Chobham, Hampstead Heath, Bow, Coombe Wood; Swansea; Sandburn Wood, 
York (Hey). 
H. villosus, Gyll. Of about the same size on the average as the 
preceding, but more shining, and with the thorax less closely and more 
finely punctured ; the general colour is reddish-brown with the thorax 
darker, and the anterior portion of head and some more or less indistinct 
and cloudy markings on elytra lighter; antenne and legs reddish- 
testaceous, the club of the former small; thorax transverse, rather thickly 
punctured ; elytra with six raised lines on each, which, however, are less 
sharp and much less strongly marked than in the preceding species ; 
posterior tarsi comparatively short. L. 3-4 mm. 
The male is asa rule smaller than the female, but the other sexual 
differences are slight. 
Sandy and chalky places; very rare; Mickleham (where it has been captured by 
Mr. Champion and Mr. Marsh by beating hazel) ; Freshwater, Isle of Wight (Water- 
house) ; it has also been taken recently (June 1887) in the island by Mr. Champion ; 
Newmarket Heath (Stephens); Llandudno (Sidebotham); Southport (one specimen 
taken on June 19th, 1858, by Mr. B. Cooke).
