66 COLEOPTERA. 



Mr. Jansori (by whose jjermission I provisionally register the 

 insect here) tells me that in his opinion the S. juglandis of 

 M. Allard's Collection is represented by Turner's species. 



S. mediolanensis appears to be narrower than S. juglandis, 

 with a larger and broader club to the antennae; a longer, 

 only gently rounded, more widely and strongly punctured 

 thorax; more strongly punctured striae, and stouter and 

 thicker setae on the elytra. In colour it is quite at variance 

 with Turner's insect ; being testaceous or rufo-testaceous,. 

 instead of pitchy-black, with a light humeral patch.

The grand addition of a new genus (of 3Iycetoi)hagidcey 

 to our list was effected by Charles Turner, when he captured 

 several examples of the above insect in the New Forest,, 

 during the past autumn ; having been sent to that well 

 known locality by Messrs. Janson and Crotch. I register the 

 insect provisionally by permission of the former gentleman. 



It superficially resembles Trip/i/jUiis pimctat(/s, but is con- 

 siderably smaller than that species, fj'otn which it may be 

 readily known by its short antennae, of which the 3-jointed 

 club has the two apical joints abruptly broadened, its laterally 

 channelled thorax and punctate-striate elytra, of which the 

 interstices are flat, &c.
