122 MANDIBULATA. — COLEOPTERA, 



Elongate: shining black: head impunctate: thorax much attenuated behind, 

 with a channel down the centre, and a deep impunctate stria near the posterior 

 angles: elytra striated, the striae impunctate; with four deeply impressed 

 dots on the second from the suture on each side towards the tip, and one on 

 the third towards the base ; the marginal striae with a continuous series of 

 impressions: claws and tip of palpi ferruginous: antennae fuscous at the tip. 



Once taken in Devonshire by Dr. Leacli. 



f Sp. 4. Panzeri ? Niger, nitidus, thorace postice utrinque sub-hislriato, elytris 



striatis, punctis impressis plurimis oriiatis. (Long. corp. 7 lin.) 

 Ca. Panzeri. Megerle ?— Pt. Panzeri ? Steph. Catal. p. 25. No. 205. 



Deep glossy black : head smooth : thorax with a rather abbreviated dorsal line, 

 a deep longitudinal stria near the hinder angle, and an obsolete shallow one at 

 the angle itself, the intermediate space a little rugose : elytra rather deeply 

 and irregularly striated, the striae impunctate, with several irregularly scat- 

 tered impressions on the disc, and a subinterrupted marginal series : thorax 

 beneath and breast punctate : legs, antenna?, and palpi pitchy-black, the latter 

 with a ferruginous tip. 



Whether this be the Ca. Panzeri of Megerle, or an extraordinary variety of Ca. 

 Sehnanni of Duftschmidt, I am unable to decide, for the reason previously 

 stated ; but I do not think it belongs to the latter, as it appears to be at va- 

 riance with the specific character by being of a deep black, and by having 

 the impressions on the elytra disposed difierently from the representation in 

 Sturm ; neither am I certain that it is referable to the former, as that insect 

 is said to have but one series of impressed dots on the elytra ; it however 

 seems to agree with Panzer s figure.

Shining bronze : head smooth : thorax a little convex, smooth bronzed black, 

 with a channel down the centre, and a simple impressed line on each side near

 pressions between the second and third stria from the suture, and a series of 

 subconfluent dots on the margin : body beneath smooth shining brass : thighs 

 stout, black : tibiae, tarsi, and palpi rufescent : antenna? black.
