66 PLATE CCXL. 



fcarabseus is coal black. It is fmaller, and the Wing-cafes nearly 

 cover the Abdomen. In Meloe Profcarabaeus the wing-cafes are only 

 one-third the length of the Abdomen. 



In fome" Cabinets, this Infe£l is arranged with a new fpecific 

 name autumnalis ; but as we find it is not a non-defcript, we prefer 

 that, under which it has been already defer ibed. In this we not only 

 avoid the confufion arifing from a change of names, but reje<5l one 

 merely local for another expreffive of its fpecific charadler. 



Our Specimens were found on Epping Foreft, in July.
