MR. A. MURRAY'S MONOGRAPH OF THE FAMILY OF NITIDULARLE. 237 
. 
Somewhat of the appearance of C. pedicularius, but smaller and narrower, punctate, 
and with longer and closer grey pubescence and much shorter antennse, which are only 
as long as a fourth of the length of the body. Testaceous, with the scutellum, the 
elytra on each side of the suture, and the breast and abdomen piceous. The thorax 
about the breadth of the elytra, and a half broader than long, narrowed in front and 
with the sides rounded. Scutellum punctate and apex obtuse. The elytra are a half 
longer than the thorax. Breast and abdomen finely punctate. 
This species is found in the Austrian German provinces, as well as in Dalmatia and 
Greece. Herr von Kiesenwetter informs me that in Greece it is found on a species of 
Carex growing in the sea marshes. 
The specimens standing under the name of C. £estaceus in Count Dejean’s collection 
are flavous-coloured varieties of C. Dalmatinus, and are said also to come from Dalmatia. 
ll. CERCUS CRINITUS. 
Statura C. Sambuci, rufo-testaceus, capite et prothorace paulo saturatioribus, leviter 
punetatus, subnitidus, longe pubescens; elytris thorace magis punctatis, humeris 
prominentibus, apice truncato, angulis paulo rotundatis. Long. 1 lin., lat. + lin. 
Habitat in Tennessee in America boreali. 
Of the size of C. Sambuci. Rufo-testaceous, head and thorax darker, faintly punctate, 
slightly shining, with a comparatively long, loose, fine pubescence. The head deeply 
impressed on each side in front. The thorax both before and behind moderately rounded 
and margined, all the angles rounded. The elytra more deeply punctate than the 
thorax, moderately long, with prominent shoulders, and sides rounded and almost 
inflexed; the apex truncate, with the angles, both exterior and sutural, rounded. The 
pygidium and the projecting angles of the preceding segment alone exposed. 
Found in Tennessee. I am indebted to Dr. Schaum for the specimen now in the 
British Museum. :
