10 MANDIBULATA. — COLEOPTERA. 



in proportion to its width, narrower before, and in the incisions at the angles 

 more obsolete, and the elytra more densely clothed with pubescence." — 

 Spence. 



Not common : I have a pair in my collection captured by myself 

 near London. " Netley." — Rev. F. W. Hope. 



Sp. 5. affinis. Oblongo-ovatus,fuscus, elytris obsoletissime striatis, strid suturaU 



profundiore, antennis pedibusque fusco-ferrugineis. (Long. corp. if lin.) 

 Ca. affinis. Steph. Catal. 73. No. 787. 



Oblong-ovate, fuscous, clothed with fuscous-yellow pubescence; head dusky; 



antenna and palpi dusky-ferruginous, with the apex of the former dusky ; 



thorax deep fuscous-brown, with its lateral margins rather testaceous : elytra 



reddish-fuscous, with a deep stria near the suture, the rest of the surface with 



extremely obsolete stria, not reaching to the apex, the latter slightly rounded : 



legs fusco-ferruginous. 

 More elongated than either of the foregoing, with the thorax considerably narrower 



than the coleoptera, the latter most obsoletely striated, and the antennae are 



rather stoutly clavate. 



One of my specimens I received from the Marshamian cabinet, 

 captured near Bristol; the other was taften by myself near London. 



Sp. 6. elongatus. Elongato-ovatus, piceo-niger, antennis thorace longioribus, 



pedibusque rufo-ferrugineis, palpis nigris. (Long. corp. 2^ lin.) 

 Ca. elongatus. Steph. Catal. 73. No. 788. 



Elongate-ovate, depressed: pitchy-black, clothed with a fine grisescent pubes- 

 cence: labrum and palpi black: antenna longer than the thorax, dull fer- 

 ruginous, at the base, dusky at the apex, the club rather slender, the eighth 

 joint small, the terminal one short, acute : thorax rather small : elytra narrow, 

 obsoletely striated, the stria reaching from the base to the apex ; the latter 

 rounded : legs rufo-ferruginous ; the tibia and tarsi palest. 



The elongate depressed form of this species, with iis slender antenna, well 

 distinguish it from its congeners. 



A single specimen of this insect I obtained from the neighbour- 

 hood of Bristol ; and I have once captured it in the metropolitan 

 district. 



B. Thorax with the hinder margin straight near the angles, 

 a. With the sides of the thorax nearly straight at the hinder angle. 



Sp. 7. chrysomeloides. Ohlongo-ovalis, niger, antennis basi, tibiis tarsisque rufo- 

 brunneis; antennis foemineis fusiformi-clavatis, crassis, articulo extimo ovaio, 

 contiguis longiore. (Long. corp. 2^ lin.)
