Sp. 22. punctiger. Piceo-niger, antennis pedibusque concoloribus, elijtris striatis, 

 interstitio tertio a margme jmnctis plurimis impresso. (Long. corp. 4o — 5 lin.) 



Ha. punctiger mihi. — Steph. Catal. p. 30. No. 270. 



Differs from the five last in having the legs and antennae concolorous with the 

 body, and more impressions at the apex of the third interstice from the margin ; 

 in other respects similar. 



Found sometimes near London, 



Sp. 23. nigrocferuleus. Niger nitidus, supra obsolet; violascens, antennis fulvis, 

 ■pedibus piceo-rufis, femorihis tibiarumque apicibus piceo-nigris, interstitio 

 tertio a margine punctulato. (Long. corp. 44 — 5 lin.) 



Ha.- niger mihi. — Steph. Catal. p. 30. No. 274. 



Rather broad and depressed ; much resembling the last, but differs in the colour 

 of the legs: the thighs and tips of the tibiifi alone being pitchy-black; the 

 base of the latter and the tarsi pitchy-red : the thorax impunctate behind, 

 but the fovefE rather deep : the elytra are striated as in the last, and the apex 

 of the third interstice from the margin has several impressions. 



This varies much in colour ; I have recently obtained several specimens richly 

 tinged with blue above, which has induced me to alter the name from that 

 given in my catalogue. 



Taken in various parts of England, and In Wales. 



Sp. 24. subsinuatus } Niger nitidus, tho7-ace postics subsinuato, elytris striatis, 



corpore suhtiis antennis pedibusque ferrugineis. (Long. corp. 5 lin.) 

 Ca. subsinuatus. Duftschmid. — Ha. subsinuatus. Steph. Catal. p. 30. No. 268. 



Rather convex, pitchy-black, slightly glossy : thorax smooth, a little punctate 

 towards the hinder angles, which have each a shght longitudinal stria ; the 

 posterior margin is a little sinuated : elytra not very deeply striated, the striae 

 impunctate : body beneath, legs, antennae, palpi, and mandibles ferruginous. 



I have two specimens of this species which were found near 

 London, and agree with those sent to Dr. Leach by M. De Jean, 

 named as above. 



Sp. 25. Umbatus. Niger nitidus, antennis, palpis, thoracis margine pedibusque 



rufo-testaceis. (Long. corp. 4 — 4^ lin.) 

 Ca. limbatus. Duftschmid. — Ha. limbatus. Steph. Catal. p. 30. No. 273. 



Glossy black, the males above sometimes tinged with bluish, the female always 

 black and duller : head smooth : thorax with a slight transverse posterior im- 

 pression, terminating on each side in a subpunctate fovea ; the lateral margins 

 more or less rufo-testaceous : elytra sUghtly striated, the striae impunctate, the 

 apex of the third interstice from the margin without any impressed foveolte ;
