of minute impressions on the margin, scarcely interrupted in the middle : 

 legs totally black: antennte, with the basal joint and tips of the others, rufo- 

 piceous ; palpi black, with the apex of the joints fulvous. 



I have seen three specimens only of this insect ; one in the col- 

 lection at the British Museum, the second in that of Mr. Vigors 

 (formerly Mr. Wilkin's), the other in my own : two were cap- 

 tured on the Glamorganshire coast, the locality of the other is 

 unknown.

 depresso, utrinque striold impressn, antennis tarsisque julvis. (Long. corp. 

 4.-^ lin.)

Like Ha. tardus, but narrower and more depressed : thorax with a transverse 

 impression posteriorly, terminating in a broad, shallow, obsoletely punctate 

 fovea: elytra simply striated; the margin with an obsolete continuous series of 

 impressions : legs pitchy-black, with the tarsi and claws rufous : antennae and 

 palpi entirely fulvous. 



Not uncommon near London, in sand and gravel-pits. 



Sp. 5. fuhginosus. Niger, thorace postice vix foveolato, antennis ferrugineis, 

 ■pedibus rufo-testaceis, J'emoribus tibiarumque apice nigricantibus. (Long, 

 corp. 4g Un.) 



Ca. fuliginosus. Duftschmid. — Ha. fuliginosus, Steph. Catal. p. 29. No. 252. 



Slightly depressed, broad : thorax very obsoletely punctate behind, with a nearly 

 obliterated marginal fovea on each side at the base : elytra striated; the margin 

 with a continuous series of distinct impressions : legs rufo-testaceous, with 

 the thighs and tips of the tibiae dusky or black : the antennae and palpi 

 entirely ferruginous.

Ca. latus. Linne? — Ha. latus. Steph. Catal. p. 29. No. 253. 



Broader than the preceding, which it much resembles: the thorax has an 

 evident irapunctate striola on each side at the base, touching the posterior 

 margin : the elytra are striated, and the lateral margin has an indistinctly 

 interrupted series of impressions : the legs are rufous, Avith the thighs and 

 tips of the tibiae pitchy : the antennae and palpi are totally rufous or ferru- 

 ginous. 



Frequent in sand and gravel-pits near London. " Southend."" —
