264 MANDIBULATA. — COLEOPTERA. 



Le. palHpes. Steph. Catal. 205. No. 2087. 



Sublinear, duslcii, clothed with short grisescent pubescence, and thickly punc- 

 tured : mouth, legs, and antenncB pale xuio-testaceous, the latter rather long 

 and slender. 



My specimen was taken by tlie late Rev. J. Lyon, near Dover: 

 and the insect has probably been captured in Norfolk. 



Sp. 1 9. prseusta. Sublinearis, nigra, pube aurea nitidd tectd, capite elytrorum- 

 que apice nudis, antennarum basi pedibusque testaceis. (Long. corp. 3— 3^ lin.) 

 Le. prsEUsta. Fabricius.—Steph. Catal. 205. No. 2088. 



Sublinear, black, thickly clothed with a short ^mm% golden pubescence, excepting 

 the head and the apex of the elytra, which are glabrous and black : mouth 

 testaceous: body black beneath with golden pubescence: legs testaceous, 

 with the tarsi fuscous: antennae fuscous, with the basal joint testaceous. 



My specimens of this insect were taken in the New Forest in 

 July, 1820, I believe near Brockenliurst, where others have been 

 since not unfrequently taken. 



Genus CCCLXXXV.— Pachyta, Megerle. 



Palpi long, slender, filiform, the terminal joint elongate, truncate. Antennce 

 slender, pilose at the base, the basal joint robust ; second short ; third and 



. fourth of equal length, elongate ; fifth longer than the fourth ; sixth and re- 

 mainder gradually decreasing in length: head small: eyes rounded: thorax 

 short, globose, with the hinder angles short : elytra elongate, scarcely attenuated 

 towards the apex, the latter entire: legs rather short : femora slightly incras- 

 sate : tibicB slender, simple : tarsi moderate. 



Pachyta is perhaps almost too closely allied to Leptura to form 

 a distinct genus, nevertheless the habit of the species appears to 

 point out its pretensions to be divided therefrom, and they may be 

 distinguished by the brevity of the body united to the breadth and 



+ Sp. 20. atra. Corpore toto nigra, abdomine serico alio nitente. (Long. corp. 



4? lin.) 

 Le. atra. Fabricius.—Turton (!)—Stcph. Catal. 205. No. 2089. note.
