Tlic frontal stria of this species is, as Candezc states, 

 A -shaped, and there is a variety with the elytra testaceous, 

 which is introduced as a new species by Schoufeldt in the 

 last supplement of his Catalogue as G. bicolor, Cand., m 

 lift.

There is a variety of this species also [yax. flavipennis) with 

 pale elytra which I think is Agriotes ferruginipennis, Motsch., 

 18G6. Motschulsky's name for an Agriotes is preoccupied 

 by Lcconte in 1861, so Cand^ze's name will remain in 

 either case.

Silesis scabripennisj sp. n. 



Ellipticus, nigro-brunneus, subnitidus, fulvo-pubescens ; thorace 

 antice rufo-margiiiato ; elytris puuctato-striatis, iuterstitiis 

 grauulatis, opacis ; auteuuis pedibusque brunueo-rufis. 



L. 6A miU. 



Elliptical, dark brown, somewhat shining, pubescence 

 tawny ; the head not very closely punctulate ; the thorax 

 sparingly punctured on the disk, narrowly rufous on the 

 anterior margin, hind angles a little acute, turning a little 

 outwards ; the elytra obscurely brown at the base, darker 

 posteriorly, punctatc-striate, interstices markedly rugose and 

 opaque ; the autennte and legs reddish brown. 



The sculpture of the interstices separates this species at 

 once from S. musculus^ Cand. ; it is also narrower and more 

 elliptical, thorax but little convex, and the scutellum less 

 pointed behind.
