diately be known from that insect by being not only rather 
larger and with more elongated limbs, but likewise by 
its eyes (although minute) being distinctly developed, 
by its elytra bemg less abbreviated, less plicate at the 
base, and with their discal line entire, by the second 
joint of its feet being rather less clavate, and by the first 
one of its antennee being much longer.

The larger size and much longer limbs of this fine 
Falagria would, even of themselves, at once separate it, 
even at first sight, from the common Kuropean Lf’. obscura 
—which is so abundant in most of these Atlantic islands. 
It may however be further known from that species by 
the paler or more reddish-brown hue of its head and 
prothorax (the former of which is relatively rounder, 
whilst the latter, which has a much deeper dorsal groove 
extending along its entire length, is much longer and 
more rectangular behind, though with the posterior angles 
themselves acutely prominent), by the lighter portion of 
its elytra being clearer or more testaceous, by its abdomen 
being diluted behind, and by its femora (at any rate
