Natural Order. — Scarab^ites, ined. 

 Genus. — Phyllopertha. Kirby. 

 Phyl. suturalis. Chalyhco-atra ; elytris testaceis, margine 

 circvmdata nigra. 



Head black, with a chalybeous tinge : antennae, with the shaft, testa- 

 ceous, the club black: prothorax and mesothorax black, with a 

 chalybeous tinge : elytra testaceous, with black hairs, and the 

 entire margins black : the legs and whole of the under-surface 

 are black, with testaceous hairs. (Length 3 1 lin.) {Mus. Soc. Ent.) 



Taken by Mr. Bevington, in immense profusion, on the 

 sea-coast in the north of Ireland. In the black line, which 

 completely surrounds each elytron, and the black hirsuties of 

 the elytra, it differs from every species with which I am 

 acquainted. 



Natural Order. — Elaterites, ined. 

 Genus. — Athous. Eschscholtz. 

 Ath. Campyloides. Ferriigineus, oculis nigris. 

 Ferruginous, the eyes only being black. (Length 4| lin.) 



This species was beaten out of elder, at Ramsgate, by my 

 friend, R. Foster ; it appears distinct from the Elater longi- 

 collis of Fabricius, in having the elytra less deeply striated 

 and less flat, and in being altogether wider ; the prothorax is 

 not quite so acutely angled posteriorly, and the general appear- 

 ance of the insect is that of Cami^ylus d'lspar. I have but 

 three specimens, all of which agree in the above distinctions, 

 and also in wanting entirely the margin which usually distin- 

 guishes E. longicollis. 



Natural Order. — Cerambicites, ined. 



Genus. — Cylindera. ^ Newman. 



Caput prothoracis latitudo : oculi prominentes: antermarum articulis 

 1°. paull6 incrassato, 2". parvo, caeteris ad apicem pedetentim at- 

 tenuantibus : prothorax elongatus fere cylindricus medio pauUa 

 incrassatus: elytra parallela: femora incrassata. Characteribus 

 aliis vix Callidio difFert.
