In making the above record, Mr, Champion suggests the possibility of 
the occurrence of S, Reyi and S. exsanguis in this country; the former 
is very closely allied to S. castaneus, and the latter to S. ater and 
S. eratus ; S. Reyt has been taken in abundance in France in the dead 
branches of fruit trees, 
S. foveolatus, Ljungh. (s.g. Rabocerus, Muls.; Spheriestes, 
Kirby). Bronze-black, with the mouth parts, base of antenne, and 
tarsi, ferruginous, shining ; head slightly narrower than thorax, eyes 
prominent ; antenne with the sixth joint broader than tlie preceding, 
and a little narrower than the five last joints, which are of about equal 
thickness ; thorax transversely cordate, deeply and rather closely punc- 
tured, with an impression on each side behind middle, and sometimes 
another indistinct one before middle; elytra with rows of punctures, 
confusedly punctured at base, with a deep fovea on each towards base.

This genus contains five species, three of which are found in Europe, 
and the other two in Chili and Tasmania respectively ; they are very 
Y 
closely allied to Salpingus, with which they are included by Thomson, 
but are distinguished by having the club of the antenne more abrupt, 
the mandibles not toothed on their inner side, and the sides of the thorax 
slightly denticulate; the latter character, however, is not very obvious. 
The larva of L. quadripustulata is described and figured by Perris (Larves des 
Cotéopteres, p. 300, pl. ix. f. 319); it is yellowish-white with the head reddish, and 
presents no striking peculiarity ; the apical segment is emarginate almost in a circle, 
the lobes being very slightly produced and terminating in two recurved points; the 
pupa is rather elongate.

head and thorax reddish-testaceous, dull, very closely and finely punc-
