Sp. 2. rufipes. Elongatum, subglabrum, nigrum, ohscurum ; thorace canali- 

 culato postice rotundato,gibbo, antennis pedibusque rufis. (Long. corp. 1^ — 2| 

 lin.) 



An. rufipes. Fabric/us. — Steph. Catal. 141. No. 1427. 



Elongate, nearly glabrous, dull black; head granulated: mouth rufescent: 

 thorax truncate anteriorly and subemarginate in the middle, the disc very 

 convex, with a more or less distinct longitudinal dorsal line, and the base on 

 each side with a somewhat bilobed impressed fovea: elytra elongate, linear, 

 slightly pubescent, punctate-striate, with the interstices convex and finely 

 granulated : legs rufo-ferruginous : antenna? rufous. 



Variable in size and colour: in some examples the suture and margins of the 

 elytra are rufo-piceous, and others are almost totally of a ferruginous or cas- 

 taneous hue : — probably immature. 



Abundant in hedges throughout the metropolitan district: also 

 found at Dover, Hastings, &c. " In the garden at the Willows 

 (near Swansea)." — L. W. Dillwyn, Esq. 



Sp. 3. pertinax. Nigro-fuscum, obscurum, thorace rugis elevatis, basi utrinque 



macula ochraced, elytris striatis, striis punctatis. (Long. corp. 2^ lin.) 

 Pt. pertinax. IAnne. — An. pertinax. Steph. Catal. 141. No. 1428. 



Dusky-black, obscure : thorax fuscous, very pubescent and convex, with an ele- 

 vated carina posteriorly, giving off two branches in front, and a third in the 

 middle behind, within each of the lateral margins an impression, and a larger 

 one at the posterior angles ; this last is densely clothed with an ochreous 

 pile : elytra deeply punctate-striate ; the interstices smooth and flat : femora 

 pitchy-fuscous ; tibiae and tarsi pale ferruginous. 



The rugose thorax, with the distinct ochraceous patch of down at the posterior 

 angles, and the deep hue of the insect sufficiently distinguish it from An. 

 striatum. 



Apparently rare : the only indigenous example of the true species 

 that I have seen being my own specimen, which I obtained from the 

 Marshamian cabinet, without a name. " Swansea." — L. W. Dill- 

 ivy n, Esq. 



Sp. 4. denticolle. Fusco-femigineum, pubescens, thorace obsolete cunaliculalo, 

 utrinque foveis duabus p?-ofundis impresso, angulis posticis in dentem acutuin 

 productis. (Long. corp. g| lin.)
