NEW BRITISH SPECIES, ETC., IN 1866. 53 



Mr. Sharp, on the shores of the Frith of Forth at Aberlady, 

 under seaweed, and never on plants or herbage. It has also 

 been taken at the same place by Mr. R. Hislop. 



It appears to be closely allied to T. lituratus, but to be 

 capable of distinction from that ins.ect by its more compact 

 and robust build, its much shorter and stouter antennae, in 

 which the third joint is not so much longer than the second, 

 its proportionably longer thorax, and its shorter elytra. 



Mr. Sharp observes that some of the females have the 

 elytra and antennae deformed (reminding oneof the apterous 

 females in some of the neighbouring genera), and seem to be 

 in great favour with the males. 



13. Telephorus scoticus, (Rye, Cat. "British Beetles")

 Mag. vol. iii, p. 168.

 ass'tmilis, Crotch, "The Entomologist," ii, 168; nee 



Payk. 

 Jiguratus, Crotch, Ent. iii, p. 48 ; nee Mann. 

 This insect appears at last to have found a correct " local 

 habitation and a name." It is, of course, familiar enough to 

 our readers by this time. 



14. Anthicus salinus. Crotch, Cat. Brit. Col. ed. 2; 



id. Proc. Ent. Soc. 19 Nov. 1866 (described); Ent. 

 Mo. Mag. vol. iii, p. 168. 

 Anthicus 2 Sp. nov. ? Wat. Cat. 

 Found near Lymington, in the Salterns, by Mr. Water- 

 house ; also at Gravesend. 



Allied to A. humilis, Germ. ; from which it is stated to 

 be very readily distinguished by its thorax being wider in 

 front, and by its more delicate and closer punctuation.
