152 MANDIBULATA. — COLEOPTERA. 



Allied to the foregoing, but differs in being much smaller and more slender : its 

 upper surface is entirely of a deep slightly glossy black : thorax with a faint 

 dorsal channel, and a simple impressed line at the base on each side : elytra 

 faintly and simply striated, the third interstice from the margin with two 

 impressions, the marginal one with several at the tip : legs black, tarsi pitchy- 

 testaceous : antennes fulvous, with the second, third, and fourth joints blackish 

 at the base : palpi fulvous, dusky at the base. 



Of this I have also seen but one specimen, which was taken near 

 London. 



Sp. 32. attenuatus. Elongatus, niger nitidus, thorace postice valde attenuato, 

 antennis, palpis, tibiis, tarsisque rufo-ferrugineis, elytris striatis, striis sub- 

 tilissims punctatis. (Long. corp. 4 lin.) 



Ha. gracilis. Steph. Catal p. 31. iVo. 280. 



Very slender and elongated: the thorax much attenuated posteriorly: deep 

 glossy black : thorax with an obsolete dorsal channel, and a deep punctate 

 fovea on each side at the base : elytra punctato-striated, with a deep impressed 

 dot near the apex of the second strife from the suture, and a nearly continuous 

 series of remote impressions on the margin : thighs pitchy-black ; tibife, tarsi, 

 antennae, and palpi, bright ferruginous-red. 



The above was given to me several years since as the Ha. gracilis, Wilkins' MSS. ; 

 but the insect of that name in Mr. Vigors's Collection is totally different, and 

 is described in page 156. 



My specimens were taken on the banks of the Thames. " Near 

 Southend." — Rev. F. W. Hope. " Dorking." — Mr. Waterhouse. 



Sp. 33. cuniculinus. Niger, thorace lateribus suhrotundato, postice subsinuato, 



elytris striatis, antennarum basi palpi sque ferrugineis. (Long. corp. 3^ lin.) 

 Ca. cuniculinus. Duftschmid. — Ha. cuniculinus. Steph. Catal. p. 31. JVo. 281. 



Shining black, with the sides of the thorax rounded, and a httle sinuated behind ; 

 its base impunctate, with a narrow impressed line on each side, reaching to 

 the posterior edge : elytra bluish, simply striated, with one or two impressed 

 points at the apex of the third interstice from the margin ; which last has a 

 continuous series of approximating impressions : the legs are pitchy, with 

 pale rufous tarsi : the palpi and antenna; bright ferruginous : the base of the 

 second, third, and fourth joints of the latter black. 



Near London, but apparently rare, 



Sp. 34. servus. Aiigustior, nigro-piceis, palpis antennis tarsisque ferrugineis, 

 thorace striold baseos utrinque impresso. (Long. corp. 3 lin.) 



Ca. servus. Creuizer. Ha. servus, — Steph. Catal. p. 31. No. 282. 



Narrow, slender, pitchy-black, glossy: thorax with a faint dorsal line, and a 

 short, slightly punctate stria on each side at the base, touching the posterior 

 mai-gin: elytra moderately striated, the stria; impunctate; no impressions at 

 the apex of the third interstice from the margin, but the latter with an inter-
