distinct before, and destitute of a projecting angle behind ; an 

 impressed dorsal line ; elytra black, striate-punctured ; punctures 

 equal in length to the intermediate spaces and nearly equal in 

 breadth to the interstitial lines : [24] feet rufous ; venter black. 



This resembles Scarites gihhus, of which no description has 

 been given, sufficiently characteristic, to enable us to judge of their 

 differences. It may not be improper to observe here, that the 

 same figure of Fuess. Arch, the 17th of plate 29, has been refer- 

 red to, both for the S. gihhus and Carahus ? glohator • it is probable 

 therefore that they are one species, particularly as Herbst calls it 

 glohator, and has the 8. gihhus of Fabr., as a synonym.

 rufous. 



Found at Egg Harbor, coast of Virginia and Florida, and is 

 common.
