76 MANDIBULATA. — COLEOPTERA. 



Closely resembling Cr. Populi, but smaller, and more deeply and coarsely 

 punctate ; of a deep fusco-ferruginous, clothed with rather long hairs ; head 

 dull ferruginous: eyes black: thorax with the margins blackish, with the 

 anterior angle obliquely acuminated, and a minute denticulation in the 

 middle of the lateral margin, the disc slightly convex : elytra with the suture 

 rather obscure, punctate, the impressions less distinct than on the thorax, 

 and towards the suture somewhat disposed in lines: body pale ferruginous 

 beneath, scarcely pubescent : legs pale testaceous : antennae brownish, with 

 the club paler. 



More deeply punctate, and clothed with a longer pubescence than the following 

 species. 



Not uncommon in the neighbourhood of London, feeding upon 

 Lycoperdon Bovista: in plenty at Guildford, in company with 

 Lycoperdina immaculata, in Sept. 1821. " Not unfrequently taken 

 among herbage (near Swansea). 11 — L. W. Dillzvyn, Esq. 



Sp. 7. fumatus. Oblongo-ovatus iestaceus, tenue punctatus, pubescens, thorace 



subquadrato, lateribus obtuse bidentatis. (Long. corp. 1 lin.) 

 Co. fumata. Marsham.—Cr. fumatus. Steph. Catal 86. No. 928. 



Oblong-ovate, testaceous, slightly but thickly punctate, and finely pubescent : 

 head and antenna? as in the last: thorax subquadrate, rather elongate, the 

 lateral margins nearly straight, with an obtuse tooth at the anterior angle, and 

 a minute slightly prominent one in the middle, the disc slightly convex : elytra 

 ovate, but little convex, clothed with a delicate pale pubescence : body obscurely 

 testaceous beneath ; legs paler. 



Differs from the last in being much less deeply punctate, of a paler colour, and 

 clothed with a much shorter pubescence ; as well as in the form of the thorax, 

 by which characters it chiefly differs from the two or three following species. 



Far from uncommon near London, frequenting the vicinity of 

 houses, stables, &c. « Taken at the Willows (near Swansea), not 

 common." — L. W. Dillzvyn, Esq. 



Sp. 8. Ulicis. Oblongo-ovatus rufo-testaceus, pubescens, elytris dilutioribus, vix 

 pjunctulatis, antennis pedibusque pallida rufo-ferrugincis. (Long. corp. f — 1 

 lin.) 



Cr. Ulicis. Kirby MSS.— Steph. Catal. 86. No. 929. 



Less than the last : oblong-ovate, rufo-testaceous, slightly pubescent: head and 

 thorax rather brighter rufous than the elytra, which are somewhat ochraceous, 

 and acute at the tip, clothed with a very short, pale down, and obsoletely 

 punctulated throughout, the puncta towards the suture disposed in lines: the 

 thorax is short, broader anteriorly than behind, the disc somewhat convex, the 

 lateral margins with the anterior angle forming an obtuse recurved tooth, and
