S:UO MONOGRAPHIA NOTIOPHILON ANGLI.E. 



Sp. 7. Not. tibialis, j^neus, iiitidtis, fronte striata, elytris 



pmictato-striatis, tibiis testaceis. (Long. corp. ^\.) 

 N. aquatico similis, atferme minor ; capite paulo latiori. 



Not. tibialis. Stephens MSS. 



Above brassy: head a little wider than the thorax, the frontal sulci 

 as in N. aquaticus : thorax attenuated posteriorly, the margins 

 thickly punctured, the dorsal channel rather rugose : elytra mode- 

 rately long, punctate-striated, the striae equidistant, vanishing 

 towards the apex : legs black, tibiae seneo-testaceous, the three 

 basal joints of the antennae pitchy-testaceous, the rest pitchy- 

 black, basal joint of the palpi red. 

 Allied to N. aquaticus, but generally, smaller and shorter, 



the head rather broader. It may also be distinguished from 



that species by the pale tibiae. 



Sp.8. Not. brevis. Nigro-ceneus, brevis, fiitidus ; capite latiorit 

 fronte profundi striata; thorace brevi, rnarginibus valde 

 rugosis, jjostice angustiori ; elytris hrecibus, leviter ovatis, 

 profunde fiunctato-striatis , striis seorsum rsquidistanlibus, 

 disco elytrorum inter strias tertiam et quartam a sutura 

 piincto inijjresso, punctoque indistincto ad ajncem; tibiis 

 testaceis. (Long. corp. 2| — 2g.) 

 Brassy black, very glossy : head broader than the thorax, very short, 

 with seven irregular furrows between the eyes, the two outer ones 

 very broad and deep : thorax rather short, much narrowed behind, 

 the posterior angles slightly curved outwards, the margins, toge- 

 ther with the base and apex of the dorsal furrow, are very coarsely 

 punctured, the disk smooth and very convex : elytra short, slightly 

 ovate, punctate-striated, the punctures large, not confluent, the 

 striae rather wide apart and equidistant, an impression between 

 the third and fourth striae from the suture on the disk, and another 

 less distinct at the apex of the elytra ; the space between the first 

 and second striae is narrower towards the apex of the elytra than 

 at the shoulders : legs black, tibiae pitchy-red in the middle : 

 antennae black, with the base pitchy-red : palpi black, basal joint 

 testaceous. 



Shorter than N, aquadcus, and also differs in having an 

 impressed point on each side at the apex of the elytra: — the 

 head is broader, thorax more narrowed behind, the six lateral 

 striae of the elytra are equidistant, the punctures deeper, but 

 not so close together : the tibiae are pale.
