So closely allied to tlie common ]\Iediterranean S. 
arenarius, that it can scarcely be considered as more than 
a local variety of it, especially as in some examples traces 
of punctures may be seen in the bottom of the striae 1 
should have considered it to be the acutidciis, Chaud., of 
Chusan, had not the author described the middle tibia; as 
having two spines. 
Apparently common in Japan, Hiogo, Nagasaki, on 
clayey soils. I possess a specimen also from the island of 
Formosa, taken by Mr. Consul Swinhoe.

Nagasaki ; taken also by ^Jr. Lewis at Kiu-Kiang, on 
the Yang-tsze, widely distributed ; Kangoon, Neilgherries,

I have compared the Jai)ancse and Chinese specimens 
with one from India, named by ^L Putzeys, and find no 
difference. The Rpecies may be known by its large size, 
and its deeji and polished black colour.
