and the much less degree of emargination (and, consequently, 

 less prominent angles) of the front of its thorax ; and from 

 Jiorea m its daiker club, narrower form, and the slightly 

 emarginate (not truncate) front of its thorax.

 Taken by Dr. Power on 4th Aug., 1869, near Esher, by 

 sweeping. It is recorded from western and southern Ger- 

 many, under bark, and is allied to S. unidentatus, being 

 of the same length as that common insect, with the anterior 

 angles of the thorax more acutely toothed and the posterior 

 angles obtuse, instead of denticulated.

A single specimen, taken by Mr. J. Ray Hardy, in June, 

 1865, in a fungus near the saw-mill at Dall, Rannoch, has 

 been most liberally presented by him to me. 



The elongate narrow shape, long pubescence, coarsely 

 punctate-striate elytra and posterior nai-rowing of its thorax, 

 at once separate this species from its allies. It is about the 

 size of 31. plceus, and has a black head, with red mouth, 

 red thorax, pitchy elytra (on which are two yellowish-white 

 bands, the upper one oblique and not reaching the suture) 

 and reddish-yellow legs and antennoB. 



Zetterstedt records it in Lapland in May and June, in de- 

 cayed trees and under bark of dead pines.
