are black, are large and very prominent; the forehead convex and 

 distinctly punctured ; antennae about equal to the head and thorax 

 in length. Thorax a little broader than long, and but little broader 

 than the head ; the sides boldly rounded ; the widest part rather 

 in front of the middle ; the crenulations distinct ; upper surface dis- 

 tinctly, but not very thickly, punctured ; the fovea behind small, 

 and shallow. Elytra at the base scarcely as wide as the thorax 

 at the broadest part, but becoming gradually wider to about the 

 posterior third, where they are distinctly wider than the thorax ; 

 the apex rounded ; the punctures of the strias are rather strong 

 and in parts somewhat irregular ; the interstices with a few scat- 

 tered punctures. Three out of four specimens in my Collection 

 have the suture and outer margins of the elytra dusky ; the fourth 

 is entirely testaceous. 



One of my specimens was found by me at Brockenhurst, in the 

 New Forest, in September, 1856. I have no note of the localities 

 of the others. Mr. Wollaston found his specimens on the coast of 

 Durham.

This species is readily distinguished by its linear, depressed 

 form, and uniform pale colouring. Head narrower than the 

 thorax ; forehead rather convex and punctulated ; eyes prominent, 

 and black ; antennae about equal to the head and thorax in length. 

 Thorax distinctly broader than long, and nearly equal to the 

 elytra in width ; truncated in front ; the sides nearly straight and 

 parallel, and obscurely crenulated behind ; the anterior angles 

 rounded, the posterior angles, right-angles ; the hinder margin 

 produced and rounded in the middle. Elytra moderately elongate, 

 but little convex ; the sides nearly parallel, the apex rounded ; 

 punctate-striate, the interstices each with a row of small pale hairs,
