of interrupted marginal dots : body beneath of a rufous-pitchy colour, with 

 the legs testaceous : the antennae are dusky, with the base piceous. 



This species occurs, but very rarely, in the metropolitan district.

 obovatis, convexiusculis, fuscis, striaiis, strid marginali punctis distantibtis

Head smooth, shining black : antennae piceous : thorax oblong, subquadrate, 

 the sides slightly rounded, rather narrowed behind, somewhat flat, smooth, 

 shining black, with a channel in the middle, and an impression on each side at 

 the base : scutellum obtuse, shining black : elytra oblong-ovate, twice as broad 

 as the thorax ; above rather convex, fuscous, with simple striae, the marginal 

 stria with distant impressed dots, which are approximating at the apex : body 

 beneath glossy black : legs slender, piceous. 



Two specimens only of this insect have come under ray inspection ; 

 they were taken during the last season in the north of England, by 

 Mr. Weaver. 



Sp. 23. fuliginosum. Nigro-piceum, antennarum basi pedibusque piceo-ferru- 

 gineis, thorace oblongo, postice angustiore, utrinque foveolato, elytris brevi-

Head smooth, shining, black : antennae dusky, with the base piceous : thorax 

 glossy, pitchy-black, with a deep arcuated impression on each side at the 

 base : elytra much broader than the thorax, obtuse, subconvex, chesnut-red, 

 shining, regularly and simply striated, with three impressions between the 

 second and third striae, and some remote ones on the margin : body beneath

Differs from the last in having the thorax rather more elongate, and broader 

 behind ; and from the next by the width and colour of the elytra, and in 

 several other particulars. 



I have occasionally taken this species in Battersea-fields and 

 Coombe-wood.
