94 COLEOPTERA. 



his insect is undescribed. I believe, from what Mr. Crotch 

 tells me, that it is a very small insect, extremely like the 

 male of T. hispinus, and which I have taken in company 

 with that species at Darenth.

frian, Linn. Ent. ii, 121, 39 j G. R. Crotch, Cat. 

 Brit. Col. ed. 2. 

 Mr. Crotch (loc. cit.) states that there is an old specimen, 

 without locality, in Dr. Power's collection ; and that the 

 species is not unlikely a native of this country.

ed. 2. 

 Mr. Crotch (loc. cit. p. 137) states that specimens are 

 extant in several old collections ; but he believes that all, 

 like Onthophagus Taurus, originally came from Jersey.

 Mr. Crotch (loc. cit.) records two specimens of this insect, 

 taken by the Rev. A. Matthews, one (he believes) in Sher- 

 wood Forest. It appears to be like C. frontalis, but with 

 only the under side of the head and the antennae and legs 

 yellow. 



I suspect this insect to be represented by the C. geminus 

 of Wat. Cat. ; an opinion apparently shared by Mr. Crotch.
