82 MANDIBULATA. — COLEOPTERA. 



thickly punctate, the disc slightly convex, with a large, somewhat indistinct, 

 fovea on each side, and towards the base of the lateral margin a deep im- 

 pressed space : elytra rather deeply and somewhat coarsely punctate, black, 

 the disc variegated with irregular pale testaceous patches and marks : legs 

 black, with the joints slightly piceous, and the tarsi rufescent : antenna black, 

 with the base rufescent. 



I have seen one example only, which was captured last spring 

 in " Kensington-gardens, in a decayed elm." — T. W. Edwards, Esq. 



t Sp. 2. Cooperi. Brevior, rufo-testaceus, elytris pallidioribus maculis obsoletis 



nigris. (Long. corp. 1 lin.) 

 Ph. Cooperi mihi. 



Rather short, rufo-testaceous, clothed with very short pale down ; head some- 

 what dusky, rather large, finely punctured ; thorax rather bright, also finely 

 punctured, with an obsolete fovea on the disc on each side, and an irregular 

 impressed transverse line towards the posterior margin : elytra pale testaceous, 

 rather deeply punctured, with some irregular obsolete black spots and markings; 

 two of which, placed one behind the other near the suture, are more distinct, 

 as well as an elongate oblique one on the shoulder : legs and antenna? pale 

 testaceous: abdomen somewhat piceous in the middle beneath. 



Of this insect I have also seen but one specimen, which was found 

 — " Near Cobham, Surry, in September last." — A. Cooper, Esq. 



+ Sp. 3. bimaculatus. Testaceus, elytris macula rotundatd nigrCi. (Long. corp. 



l?lin.) 

 Ph. bimaculatus mihi. 



Testaceous ; each elytron with a large rounded black spot in the middle. 



A single example of this insect, which I caught in the spring of 

 1811, near Barnet, and gave to the British museum collection in 

 1816 is the only one I have seen; but as the insect has not yet been 

 placed in the Cabinet, and so many years have elapsed since I saw 

 it, I may be mistaken in referring it to the present genus, though 

 I have but little doubt of being correct in my opinion. 



Genus CXLVII. — Triphyllus, Megerle. 



Antennae scarcely as long as the thorax, the basal joint slightly incrassated, sub- 

 globose, the second more slender, shorter than the third, which is elongate 

 subclavate, the fourth to the sixth short, slender, the two following rather 

 larger, truncate, the three terminal ones much stouter, the two first truncate, 

 the terminal one ovate. Palpi with the terminal joint ovate-truncate; head 

 subtriangular, small : thorax transverse, the lateral margins obscurely crenu- 

 lated or entire, the disc slightly convex : elytra, ovate, convex, punctate : legs
