A single example is in the collection of Thomas Marshall, Esq., of 

 Leicester, and he writes to us concerning it: "I found it some 30 

 years ago, beneath a piece of sandstone, at Quatford, near Bridg- 

 north, in Shropshire, in the middle of September." 



Genus 3. CORANUS, Curt. 



Long, sub-elliptic. 



Head subovate, elevated in front, deflected to the pronotum, be- 

 hind the eyes elongate, convex, obconic, broadest across the eyes, 

 short before the transverse incision ; Face triangular, deflected in a 

 curve ; central lobe prominent ; side lobes scarcely visible ; cheek- 

 plates broad, compressed. Antenna inserted on the top of the head, 

 close to the eyes, 8-jointed, elbowed at the junction with the 2nd 

 joint ; 1st joint very short obconic ; 2nd, 4th, 6th, and 8th long, 

 stout, cylindrical, of about equal thickness, 2nd and 8th of nearly 

 equal length, 4th and 6th \ the length of the 2nd ; 3rd, 5th, and 7th 

 very short. Eyes moderate, globose, very prominent. Ocelli small, 

 distant, inserted just behind the transverse incision. Rostrum rather 

 longer than the head, very stout, cylindrical, curved, the apex rest- 

 ing on the prosternum ; 2nd joint longest ; labrum ovate-conic, 

 articulated at the middle, and terminating in a trigonate lobe. 



Thorax. Pronotum subtrapezoidal, almost hexagonal, the con- 

 striction on the sides before the middle deep ; side margins 

 incrassated; the transverse furrow deep, the disk before it con- 

 vex, with 4 short, longitudinal channels ending in the transverse 

 furrow; anterior angles much rounded; the posterior portion 

 flatter ; hinder angles incrassated, prominent, rounded, with a 

 channel on the inner side ; the short hinder sides converging to the 

 scutellum, across which the posterior margin is somewhat squarely 

 concave. Scutellum appears as a prominent, hindwardly projecting, 

 obtuse cone. Elytra (in British examples) not -J the length of the 

 abdomen;* Membrane abbreviated, but the 2 basal cells, though 



* We know but of one exception, a $ , taken by Mr. Dale at Christchurch, 

 Hants, in October, 1830, which has the membrane of the elytra and the wings 

 fully developed. Fallen mentions such examples, $ , having been found in 

 Sweden by Gyllenhal and Zetterstedt.
