72 MANDIBULATA. COLEOPTERA. 



Sp. 9. scutellaris. Aier, supra cinereo subpubescens, subtus albus, scutello niveo, 



antennis nigris. (Long. corp. 1^ lin.) 

 Rh. scutellaris. Wilkin.? MSS.—Bsi.s,cu.td\ditis. Steph. Catal. 163. iVo. 1570. 



Black; slightly clothed above with cinereous pubescence, beneath white : scu~ 

 tellum snow-white : elytra rather faintly punctate-striated, the interstices a 

 little rugulose, and slightly pubescent : legs and antennae black, the former 

 with the femora acutely dentate. 



This insect, which I formerly received by the above MSS. name, appears evi- 

 dently to belong to the present genus. 



Taken in June near London, and in Norfolk. 



Sp. 10. intermedius. Ater, supra cinereo subpubescens, subtus albus, rostra 



thorace breviore, antennis testaceis. (Long. corp. 1 — 1^ lin.) 

 Cu. intermedius. Marsham.— Ba. intermedius. Steph. Catal. 163. JVo. 1665. 



Less than either of the foregoing species : black, above slightly clothed with 

 cinereous pubescence ; beneath white : rostrum entirely black, smooth, glossy, 

 a little bent, shorter than the thorax; the latter somewhat opaque and slightly 

 scabrous; elytra punctate-striated; the interstices slightly cinereous: legs 

 black: antennce entirely testaceous. 



Far from rare within the metropolitan district in June, on willows 

 and in thick hedges. " On willows and alder (near Swansea), not 

 uncommon." — L. W. Dillwyn, Esq. 



Sp. 11. brunneus. Nigro-piceus, subpubescens ; thorace scabro, elytris pro- 



funde punctato-striatis, pedibus totis tesfaceis. (Long. corp. 1 lin.) 

 Cu. brunneus. Marsham. — Ba. brunneus. Steph. Catal. 163. No. 1667. ' 



Pitchy-black ; slightly pubescent, whitish or cinerascent beneath : thorax with 

 the disc scabrous, with numerous elevated points : elytra deeply striated, the 

 striae composed of impressed points : legs entirely testaceous: femora obsoletely 

 dentate : antennae piceous. 



Seemingly very rare : I possess one specimen only, which I ob- 

 tained from the Marshamian collection: it is very distinct from any 

 others of the genus: — Marsham inadvertently places it in a wrong 

 division, from the dentations of the femora being very obscure. 



Genus CCC. — Anthonomus, Germar. 



Antennae geniculated,12-jointed, long, slender, inserted behind the middle of the 

 rostrum; funiculus 7-jointed, its two basal joints rather long; the remainder 

 short, obconic, equal; club elongate, rather narrow, acuminated at the apex.
