MONOGRAPHIA NOTIOPHILON ANGLL«. 20^ 



Taken near London. Newcastle upon Tyne ; by G. Wailes, 

 Esq. Inverness ; H. Smith, Esq." 



Sp. 9. Not. latior. ^neus, nitidus, latus ; capite thorace 

 latiori, f route striata elytris punctato-striatis ; tibiis testa- 

 ceis. (Long. corp. 2\ — 2|.) 

 Brassy, beneath black : head rather broader than the thorax, very 

 short, the frontal sulci as in aquaticus : thorax broad, attenuated 

 posteriorly, the margins and dorsal channel thickly punctured : 

 elytra punctate-striated, the striae deeply impressed towards the 

 base, the fourth and fifth approximating and continuing indis- 

 tinctly to the apex of the elytra : an impression between the third 

 and fourth strias on the disk : tibise and base of the antennae rufo- 

 testaceous : palpi testaceous, with the terminal joint black. 

 Allied to tibialis, but is larger and broader ; the elytra are 

 more rounded at the sides ; the space between the first and 

 second striae is narrower in proportion. 



I have two specimens of this species, taken in the neighbour- 

 hood of London. 



Sp. 10. Not. pusillus. Supra ceneus ; f route striata, elytris 

 augustioribus, punctato-striatis, p>lagd longitiidinali ad 

 suluram nitidissima, disco ehjtrorum punclo impressb, punc- 

 toque ad apicem ; antennis pedibusque nigris : palpis 

 nigris, basi pallide testaceis. (Long. corp. 2|.) 



Above brassy, beneath black : head about the same width as the 

 thorax, irregularly striated between the eyes : thorax short, and 

 rather broad, attenuated posteriorly, the hinder angles slightly 

 curved outwards, the margins coarsely punctured : the fovese, on 

 each side in the hinder angles, rather deep, the dorsal channel 

 transversely wrinkled: elytra narrow, the sides very straight, 

 punctate-striated, the strias continuing indistinctly to the apex of 

 the elytra ; the second and third are wider apart than the follow- 

 ing, in which the punctures are confluent: an impressed point 

 between the third and fourth striae on the disk, and another at the 

 apex of the elytra : antennae and legs totally black : palpi black, 

 with the basal joint pale testaceous. 



This species may readily be distinguished from all the fore- 

 going, by its minute size and narrow form, together with the 

 pale basal joint of the palpi, combined with the black legs and 

 antennae. I am indebted to Mr. Bentley for the loan of th^'e only
