114 MANDIBULATA. — COLEOPTERA. 



is an interrupted series of impressions : the body beneath smooth, impunctate, 

 and, with the legs, antennae, and palpi, deep bronzed black. 



I have dedicated this new and elegant species to the Rev. J. 

 Bulwer, F. L. S., &c., from whom I first received specimens, which 

 were captured near Dublin. 



Sp. 3. Orinomum. Ater, nitidus, elyiris striatis, foveis plurimis disci irri' 



pressis. (Long. corp. 4—54 hn.) 

 Ha. orinomum. Leach, MSS.—Om. orinomum. Steph, Catal. p. 23. No. 188. 



Deep shining black : head smooth, impunctate, with the usual frontal impres- 

 sions : thorax subcordate, obsoletely wrinkled transversely, with a deep fovea 

 at the basal angles : elytra rather deeply striated, with several impressed dots 

 on the disc on the second and third interstice from the suture on each side : 

 body beneath and legs black. 



Resembles Om. Bulwerii ; but is destitute of the metaUic gloss, and is usually 

 somewhat larger. 



Var. (3. Plate VII. f. 3. — With the legs pitchy black, and the foveae on the 

 disc of the elytra rather obsolete. 



Taken in plenty, in 1809, by Dr. Leach, at the base of Ben 

 Lomond, in Scotland ; and sparingly, during last summer, in West- 

 moreland, Cumberland, and Yorkshire. 



Sp. 4. Anthracinus. Niger, nitidus, thorace longiore, posterius angustiore,foved 

 magnd posticd punctatd, striold impressd notatd, elytris striatis, striis sub- 

 punctatis, antennis pedibusgue piceis. (Long. corp. 4^ — 5 hn.) 



Ca. Anthracinus. Illiger. — Om. Anthracinus. Steph. Catal. p. 23. No. 189. 



Similar to the following, but more glossy, and the thorax of a different form, &c. 

 Shining black : head as in Om. Nigrita : thorax rather elongate, the margins 

 anteriorly rounded, posteriorly narrowed, with the hinder angle a little pro- 

 minent ; the base on each side with a large, thickly punctate fovea, having a 

 deep longitudinal line in the middle : elytra rather depressed, striated, the 

 striae rather deeply punctate, with three discoidal impressions, and a marginal 

 series : antennae and legs pitchy-black. 



Two indigenous specimens only of this insect have yet come under 

 my inspection ; they were taken in Cumberland during last July, 

 and are in my collection. 



Sp. 5. Nigrita. Niger, nitidus, thorace hreviore, laterihus cequaliter rotundato, 

 postice parum angustiore, elytris striatis, striis sublavibus, antennis pedi- 

 busque nigris. (Long. corp. 4— 5g lin.)

Uniform glossy black : head smooth, impunctate : thorax transverse, moderately 

 convex, the sides equally rounded, slightly narrowed posteriorly, the base on 

 each side with a deep bilobcd thickly punctate fovea, having an obsolete Ion-
