The ? I have not seen, nor is it described by 

 Reinhard or Thomson. If it be politus , Gir., as sug- 

 gested by Reinhard, 1. c., it has the antennae deep 

 black, of the length of the head and thorax, slightly 

 thickened, submoniliform ; the joints of the flagellum 

 longer than broad, the last an elongated oval, twice 

 longer and very little thicker than the preceding. 



Not common. Clydesdale.
