 Ch. Padi. Linne.—Cy. Padi. Steph. Catal. 129. No. 1309. 



Ovate, fuscous-black, clothed with silken pubescence; elytra rather deeply 

 punctured, the apex pale, but the margin itself fuscous: tibiae and tarsi pale- 

 testaceous ; the second and third joints of the antennas the same. 



Varies in being entirely of a pale-fuscous, with the pale spot at the apex of the 

 elytra more or less expanded, and sometimes very obsolete. 



Also common in the vicinity of London : I have likewise taken 

 it at Dover, and on the coast of Sussex, in June. " Swansea." —

 Much less than either of the other species, and as oblong in proportion as Cy.

Crio. angulosa. Mar sham. — Cy. angulosus. Steph. Catal. 129. No. 1311.
