98 MANDIBULATA. — COLEOPTERA. 



The smooth obscurely punctured thorax, and dull ferruginous legs and antenna* 

 of this insect, are its chief characters of distinction. 



Found near London ; in Suffolk, Norfolk, and in other parts of 

 the kingdom, beneath bark; not very common. " Near Swan- 

 sea, under bark." — L. W. Dillwyn* Esq. 



Sp. 4. ferrugineum. Elongatum, ferrugineum, subopacum, antennis pedibusque 

 testaceis, thorace oblongo, postice subbifoveolato, elytris substriatis. (Long, 

 corp. 1 lin.) 



Ce. ferrugineum. Steph. Catal. 91. No. 970. 



Elongate, ferruginous, rather opaque, with the antennae and legs testaceous, the 

 thorax oblong, with two obscure foveas towards the hinder margin, the disc 

 slightly convex and finely punctured ; elytra rounded at the apex, the disc 

 a little convex, rather faintly striate, the interstices rugose, and clothed with 

 very short fine cinereous hairs : eyes dusky. 



This species differs from the foregoing by having the thorax elongate, and the 

 body more linear, and slightly in its sculpture. 



Found near London. " Gardens, Chelsea, May.*" — Mr. Ingpen. 



Sp. 5. obsoletum. Oblongum, rufum, nitidissimum, glabrum, fortius punctulatum, 



thoracis lateribus dilatatis. (Long. corp. § — 1 lin.) 

 Ly. obsoletus. Spence MSS. — Ce. obsoletum. Steph. Catal. 91. No. 971. 



Oblong, rufous or ferrugineo-castaneous, very glossy, glabrous, deeply punctured, 



especially on the elytra ; the lateral margins of the thorax dilated : legs and 



antenna? pale ferruginous. 

 The dilated sides of the thorax at once distinguish this from all the preceding 



species. 

 I doubt whether this species be truly indigenous ; it is usually found in rice or 



flour that has been long kept; though occasionally taken at large, but in 



somewhat suspicious places. 



Found in and about London ; also in Suffolk, and near Hull : 

 in June, 1826, I caught several specimens flying in a garden at 

 Hertford. 



Genus CLVIII. — Cicones, Curtis. 



Antenna? with the two first joints globose, stout, the second least : the seven, fol- 

 lowing more slender, gradually increasing in diameter; the tenth very large, 

 orbicular, pubescent, without a conical appendage. Palpi with the terminal 

 joint ovate, subacute : head inserted up to the eyes in the thorax, which is 

 gibbous, subquadrate, margined, and rather remote from the base of the elytra.
