210 MANDIBULATA. — COLEOPTERA. 



the back, crenate-striated, the interstices flat and impunctate : body beneath 

 black ; legs rufo-piceous. 

 Larger than the following, from which it is distinguished by its elongate form, 

 deeply emarginated clypeus, depressed elytra and less punctate thorax. 



I possess a single specimen of this insect, which I obtained from 

 the Marshamian collection: — I believe there is a second in the 

 British Museum. 



Sp. 2. Sabuleti. Atro-piceus, ohlongus, clypeo integro thoraceque crebrH punc- 



taiis, elytris profundi punctato-striatis. (Long, corp, 2 lin.) 

 Aph. Sabuleti. Illiger.—Ps. Sabuleti. Steph. Catal. 113. No. 1173. 



Oblong, pitchy-black, shining : clypeus punctulated, broad, transverse, entire, 

 with the angles rounded : thorax thickly and deeply punctate : elytra oblong, 

 convex, deeply punctate-striate : legs black, or piceous, with the anterior tibiae 

 and tarsi rufescent. 



Ps. Sabuleti may be known by the integrity of the clypeus, the thickly and 

 deeply punctured thorax, and its deeply punctate striated elytra. 



Rare : I possess a specimen from the neighbourhood of Bristol, 

 and two which were captured near " Crickhowel, on the banks of 

 the Usk." — Mar sham. 



Sp. 3. porcatus. Piceo-niger, subobscurus, thorace punctata subcanaliculato, 

 elytris profundi sulcatis, sulcis punctis impressis. (Long. corp. 1^ — 1^ lin.) 

 Sc. porcatus. Fabricius. — Ps. porcatus. Steph. Catal. 113. No. 1174. 



Slender, subcylindric : clypeus obsoletely emarginated, acutely angulated before 

 ^ the eyes : thorax very deeply punctulated, with a rather deep abbreviated 

 longitudinal furrow behind : elytra very deeply sulcate, the interstices narrow, 

 smooth, the sulci with a series of large impressions ; beneath piceous : legs 

 piceous, with the femora dusky and the tarsi rufescent. 

 Much smaller than either of the foregoing, from which the abbreviated longi- 

 tudinal furrow on the thorax at once distinguishes it; and the want of oblique 

 ones on the lateral margin shows its distinction from B. caesus. 



Not unfrequently taken near London in the spring : during 

 April last, it was in plenty in my garden at South Lambeth, and 

 in Larkhall-lane and the adjoining fields : it occurs also in Norfolk.

 Esq. 



Sp. 4. cassus. Cylindricus, niger, clypeo subemarginato, margine anticopallido, 

 thorace punctato, utrinque sulcis duobus obliquis abbreviates, elytris punctato- 

 striatis, pedibus piceis. (Long. corp. 1^ lin.)
