A. denticolle, Panz. (Dendrobium denticolle, Muls.). Sub- 
cylindrical, rather broad, of a dull fuscous brown colour, upper surface 
clothed with very short fuscous grey pubescence; head sunk in thorax, 
antenne red, rather slender; thorax convex, with the sides moderately 
parallel, but bisinuate, posterior angles right angles, carinate; upper 
surface closely punctured, somewhat uneven, with a large patch of 
yellowish pubescence near the hind angles, which extends more or less 
across the whole base; scutellum round, pubescent; elytra with punc- 
tured striz, the punctures being rather fine, alternate interstices raised 
at base; legs red, rather stout, tarsi broad with the last joint short. 
L. 45-5 mm. 
In the male the antenne are longer than in the female, and have the 
last joints more elongate. 
In old oak trees; very rare; Richmond Park, Surrey (Power and Champion) ; 
Erith, on old fence (S. Stevens). 
A. FULVIOCORNE, Sturm. 
A. domesticum, Foure. (striatum, Ol., nec F.; pertinax, F., nec L.; 
Dendrobium domesticum, Muls.). Subcylindrical, rather narrow, of a 
dull fuscous brown colour, thickly clothed with greyish pubescence, 
antenn and legs reddish; head sunk in thorax, antenne rather long 
and slender; thorax longer than broad, uneven, plainly margined, 
narrowed in front and sinuate before posterior angles which are obtuse, 
very finely and thickly punctured, with a fine dorsal channel; scutellum 
rounded ; elytra parallel-sided, with rather fine crenate striz, alternate 
interstices not raised; legs moderately long. L. 3-4 mm. 
Male with the antenne longer than in female, and with the last 
ventral segment of the abdomen slightly impressed transversely before 
apex. 
In old wood; usually in houses and old buildings, but also in dead hedges, old 
trees in woods, &c.; very common and generally distributed throughout the kingdom. 
A. fulvicorne, Sturm. (Hadrobregmus fulvicornis, Thoms.). In 
general appearance this species very much resembles the preceding, and 
light examples may easily be mistaken for it; as a rule, however, it is 
of a much darker colour, being often almost black or fuscous black ; it 
may, moreover, be known by having the sides of the thorax somewhat 
obsoletely margined, and the fact that the hind coxe are sinuate on their 
posterior margin; the anterior part of the metasternum is not excavated 
to receive the antenne; the pubescence is somewhat different, but this 
is not a very obvious character. L, 2-3; mm. 
In dead hedges, &c.; local; London district, common, Darenth, Chatham, Peck- 
ham, Sevenoaks, Lee, Dulwich, West Wickham, Birch Wood, Mickleham (in which 
latter locality Dr. Power has taken several very small specimens) ; Tonbridge ;
