smooth space on the elytra is broader in proportion, particularly 



in the middle. The only specimen 1 have seen of this insect 



was captured at Inverness, by Henry Smith, Esq.

(Long. corp. 2^.) 



Narrow seneo-piceus above, beneath brassy-black : head a little 



wider than the thorax, the forehead deeply striated : thorax 



short, attenuated posteriorly, the lateral margins slightly waved, 



the dorsal channel and margins coarsely punctured, the disk 



smooth, and rather convex; thefoveae, in the hinder angles, rather 



deep : elytra punctate-striated ; the strise are close together and 



continue to the apex, which is pitchy testaceous, and has an 



indistinctly impressed point on each side, another on the disk of 



the elytra between the third and fourth striaj : tibiae and base of 



the antennae testaceous. 



Allied to A^. striatus, but not more than half the size, and 

 much narrower in proportion, tlie disk of the thorax is per- 

 fectly smooth. I have seen but one specimen of this insect, 

 which was taken by myself in the neighbourhood of London.

Elaphrus biguttatus. Fab. E. i. 247. 

 Above aeneous, beneath brassy-black : head narrower than the thorax, 

 striated between the eyes : thorax broad, slightly narrowed poste- 

 riorly, the margins and dorsal channel rugosely-punctured, the disk 

 very finely punctured, the foveas on the hinder angles not very deep : 

 elytra delicately punctate-striated, the third and fourth striae wider- 

 apart than the following : an impressed point between the third 

 and fourth, on the disk, and another less distinct at the apex 

 which is flavescent : legs and antennae black, the base of the latter 

 pitchy testaceous. 

 In this species the head is narrower than in its allies ; the
