De. linearis. Paykul. — Co. linearis. Steph. Catal. 93. No. 991. 



Elongate, dusky-ferruginous, slightly pubescent, with the thorax cordate, the 

 base very narrow, and having a moderately impressed fovea behind the middle, 

 the lateral margins very finely and obsoletely crenulated, the disc slightly 

 convex and punctured ; elytra anteriorly half as wide as the base of the thorax, 

 the shoulders rectangular, the lateral margins slightly dilated, the disc a little 

 convex, each with eight stria;, the interstices impunctate, but obsoletely rugu- 

 lose transversely : body punctulate beneath : legs pale testaceous : antennae 

 ferruginous, with the apex sometimes obscure. 



Shorter, but more elongate and convex than the foregoing, with the margins of 

 the thorax crenulated, &c. 



Also found within the metropolitan district. 



Sp. 6. ferruginea. Sublinearis castanea, glabra, capite nigricante, thorace qua- 

 drangulo punctatissimo, elytrorum latitudine, elytris pallidioribus sinipliciter 

 punctato-striatis. (Long. corp. 1 lin,) 



Co. ferruginea. Marsham. — Steph. Catal. 92. No. 992. 



Sublinear, castaneous, glabrous : head dusky or piceous, with the forehead sub- 

 convex, punctulate : eyes black : thorax nearly quadrangular, slightly nar- 

 rower than the thorax, a little convex, finely punctured, with a small 

 impressed foveola behind the middle near the base: elytra with the shoulders 

 rectangular, moderately convex, pale testaceous, regularly punctate-striate, 

 the interstices impunctate : body beneath rufo-brunneus, scarcely punctulate ; 

 legs pale rufous : antennae pale. 



The comparative width of the thorax of this species distinguishes it from all its 

 congeners but the following, from which it may be known by its more elon- 

 gate and distinctly punctulated thorax, glabrous body, and different colour. 



A very abundant species throughout the metropolitan district, 

 frequenting houses, windows, &c. " Kensington Gardens, Coombe- 

 wood, &C.' 1 — Mr. Ingpcn.
