208 MANDIBULATA. — COLEOPTERA. 



The large clypeus, subrugose, pubescent, elytra and small size of this species, 

 are its most evident characters. 



Apparently a rare species : I possess a single example from the 

 Marshamian cabinet only. " Pentire Point, Cornwall." — Dr. 

 Leach. 



f Sp. 56. villosus. Oblongus, subdepressus, ferrugineo-piceus, pubescens, elytris 



obsolete sulcatis. (Long. corp. 1^ lin.) 

 Ap. villosus. Gyllenhal. — Curtis, i. pi. 27. — Steph. Catal. 113. No. 1169. 



Oblong, somewhat depressed, ferruginous, shining: clypeus angular, scarcely 

 emarginated, narrowed before, punctured: thorax slightly convex, pubescent,, 

 thickly punctured, with a smooth line down the middle, piceous, with the 

 lateral margins paler: elytra a little convex, pilose, f us co-pi ceous, darkest 

 on the back, with seven broad sulci, each with a row of punctures on the 

 sides ; the interstices flat, smooth: beneath piceous, with the tip of the 

 abdomen and legs palest. 



Differs from the following, which it somewhat resembles in colour, by the 

 elytra being obsoletely sulcate and spotless. 



The only known indigenous specimen of this insect was found 

 dead upon Newmarket-heath in the month of August many years 

 since. 



Sp. 57. Sus. Oblongus, depressus, obscure rufus, pubescens, elytris griseis Uriels 



duabus elevatis nigro tessellatis. (Long. corp. if — 2g lin.) 

 Sc. Sus. Fabric ius.—Ap. Sus. Steph. Catal. 113. No. 1170. 



Oblong, depressed, dull rufous or ochraceous: clypeus large, truncate, punc- 

 tulated, with the vertex fuscous : thorax but little convex, thickly but rather 

 finely punctate, pubescent, rufous, with the disc, and a spot on the side, dusky ; 

 elytra griseous, pubescent, with broad, rather deep, scarcely punctate sulci, 

 with the interstices elevated, smooth ; the second and fourth from the suture 

 with a row of oblong-quadrate, more or less confluent, black spots : body and 

 legs rufo-fuscous, with the femora paler. 



Rather variable in colour, and in the intensity of the colour of the black spots 

 on the elytra ; but these characters, united to the costate elytra, serve to 

 distinguish the species. 



Rare near London ; but more frequent in the western counties : 

 it lias also been found near Norwich. " Taken most abundantly, 

 by J. Rawlins, Esq., in a field by Rivelstone-wood, near Edin- 

 burgh." — Dr. Leach. " Common (near Swansea), about the sea- 

 side, particularly at the end of summer." — L. W. Dillwyn, Esq. 



Sp. .58. testudinarius. Subdepressus, niger, obsairus, pubescens, elytris sulcatis 

 piceis maculis sparsisferrugineis. (Long. corp. l£ — g lin.)
