the area of the thorax, but even when most reduced it is a blotch 
more or less angulate, and nota letter. Elytra elongate and nar- 
row, about four times the length of the thorax, without any trace 
of raised lines; sculpture and pubescence as in the neighbouring 
species. Femora black, their extreme apex and the tibize testa- 
ceous; tarsi pitchy, claws testaceous. 
Mr. Rye, in the Catalogue annexed to his “ British Beetles,” 
has suggested the above name for a species of T’elephorus found 
in Perthshire, and placed in Mr. Waterhouse’s Catalogue as 
Rhagonycha (indeed though a true T'elephorus, it has much the 
appearance of the species of Rhagonycha), and which has caused 
a good deal of trouble to British Coleopterists. It would appear 
to be most allied to 7’. figuratus, but with somewhat the colour 
and appearance of a small specimen of 7’, assimilis. Jam not sure 
that I am acquainted with the true 7’. figuratus, but judging from 
descriptions of that species the differences appear to be as fol- 
low:—The colour is very different, the whole head of 7’. scoticus 
being black, with the exception of the parts close to the mouth ; 
the space between the antenne over the mouth being black, 
whereas in 7. figuratus it is always yellow; the antenne longer 
and stouter; the thorax larger, with anterior angles and front 
margin more rounded, and the black colour spread over a greater 
area of it; and the elytra and legs longer. 
This species is found abundantly by sweeping in open marshy 
places at Rannoch in Perthshire, in company with 7’. testaceus, 
paludosus and elongatus: it has not, so far as I am aware, been 
found elsewhere.—D. S.

This species is to be placed in division 2 A. of M. Allard’s 
monograph (Ann. Soc. Ent. France, 1864, p. 334), and is very 
closely allied to S. suturals, from which it differs as follows: it is 
on the average rather larger, and is less cylindrical and not so 
convex in form, while the scales with which it is clothed are 
scarcely metallic ; its eyes are a little less prominent (though more 
prominent than in S. hispidulus), and when viewed from the side 
are seen to be narrower in their transverse diameter, and not so
