S. tibialis) f some Scotch examples taken by Mr. R. Hislop; 

 and he has himself found a single specimen of it at Aberlady. 

 Mr. T. J. Bold, moreover, appears to have taken a fine 

 series of it at Newcastle. 



These insects have somewhat the facies of S. crinitus, and 

 appear to differ from S. tibialis in their more uniformly 

 rufous legs, less prominent eyes, shorter clubbed antennae, 

 less strongly punctate-striate elytra, longer thorax, and less 

 lineated but more maculated coloration. The hairs at the 

 hinder part of the elytra are, also, somewhat longer. 



Mr. Sharp points out that our common S. tibialis appears 

 to be unknown to Thomson, who refers Gyllenhal's lin'eellus 

 to that species, and Gyllenhal's tibialis to sulcifrons; also 

 that Thomson appears to be uncertain about the correctness 

 of his views as to these species, as he gives no reference to 

 Scbonherr's tibialis^ though that author is quoted by him for 

 all the other species.

Mr. Crotch (loc. cit. p. 136) distinguishes this species from 

 B. ohscurus ; giving as characters for it that it is much less 

 densely scaled, the rostrum and thorax being nearly bare, its 

 scales are metallic, and the whole insect smaller. 



I find that the humeral angles of the elytra are, also, much 

 more pronounced, and the thorax is less rounded at the 

 sides, with the punctuation more evident. 



The insect appears to come from the north of England.
