296 MANDIBULATA. COLEOPTERA. 



Ca. lateralis. Linne. — Te. lateralis. Steph. Catal. 131. No. 1325. 



Black : with the head anteriorly, the antenna; beneath, the entire thorax, the 

 margins of the abdomen and the legs rufo-testaceous ; the lateral margins of 

 the elytra and the apex flavescent : the elytra densely clothed with a short 

 cinereous pubescence. 



The posterior tibiae have frequently a broad dusky ring in the middle. 



Not common : I have occasionally met with it in the Robin- 

 Hood Lane, leading to Coombe-wood, and possess examples taken 

 near Bristol. " Epping."— M r. Doubleday. " Southend."— Rev.

Sp. 9. marginatus. Niger, capite antice antennarum basi thoracis margine ab- 

 dominisque limbo nijb-testaceis, elytrorum margine laterali apiceque Jlavis, 

 pedibus rufo-testaceis nigro variis. (Long. corp. 2^ lin.) 



Te. marginatus. Steph. Catal. 131. No. 1326. 



Deep black, pubescent: head anteriorly, base of the antennae, margins of the 

 thorax, and edge of the abdomen rufo-testaceous: elytra with the lateral 

 margin and the apex yellow : femora fuscous, with the base and apex pale 

 rufo-testaceous ; tibia? the same ; tarsi obscure. 



Differs from the foregoing by being rather more slender, with the disc of the 

 thorax black, and the femora and tibiae also varied with the latter colour, or 

 fuscous. 



Taken at Darenth-wood by myself many years since. 



Sp. 10. testaceus. Brevior, niger, suhnitidus, thorace quadrato laieribus testaceo, 

 antennarum basi, elylris tibiisque pallidis. (Long. corp. 2 — 3 lin.) 



Te. testaceus. De Geer. — Steph. Catal. 131. No. 1327. — Ca. testacea. Martyn, 

 pi. 29. /. 6. 



Short, black, slightly glossy : the thorax quadrate, with the lateral margins tes- 

 taceous, the base of the antennae, the elytra and the tibiae pale-ochraceous : 

 palpi fuscescent. 



The coloured legs and palpi, and shorter thorax, distinguish this from the fol- 

 lowing insect. 



Common throughout the metropolitan district, and also found in 

 other places abundantly. " Baron-wood." — T. C Heysham, Esq.
