0'2 COLEOPTERA. 



Waterhouse in May, 1857, on the windows of one of the 

 open corridors leading to the Crystal Palace, in company 

 with C. badiuSj acutangulus and vini, which often swarm 

 there. 



It is somew^hat allied to C. vini, hut differs from that 

 species in its larger size, more cylindrical shape, finer punc- 

 tuation and shorter pubescence, and especially in the struc- 

 ture of its thorax, the anterior lateral projections of which 

 are carried back for about a third of its length in almost a 

 straight line, parallel with the sides, until they end in a 

 minute acute point ; — suggesting the idea of the middle lateral 

 tooth usually exhibited b}^ Cryptophagus being confused 

 with the prominence of the anterior angle. Below this acute 

 point the sides are strongly and straightly narrowed behind, 

 and exceedingly finely crenulated.

Nov. 1866 {described) ) Ent. Mo. Mag. vol. iii, 

 p. 168. 



Found very rarely by Mr. Sharp, on the banks of a small 

 loch near Edinburgh. 



It appears to be very closely allied to A, nana {nigriven- 

 tris, Wat. Cat.), but with the punctuation closer and much 

 finer, and the pubescence much shorter and more delicate. 

 In the latter respect it apparently more resembles A. elon- 

 fjatula, Er., from w^hich, however, its form and facies render 

 it very distinct. From A. fumata it seems to be distin- 

 ouished by its finer punctuation, more delicate pubescence, 

 and longer and thinner antennae.
