p. 188. pi. 75. J. 11. — Niger, thorace capite latiore, icutello pedibuscpie nifis, 



elytris antice rujis, apice nigris, suturd maculaque angulata comviuni nifis. 



(Long. corp. 3 lin.) 

 Black, thorax wider than the head, and with the scutelhim and legs red; 



elytra red anteriorly, black posteriorly, with the suture, and an angulated 



common spot, towards the apex, red. 

 I have specimens of this species that were taken near London. 



Page 74. Sp. 1. Licinus depressus. This species continues to be taken on the 

 chalk hills near Dorking, Leith Hill, &c and Dover, not uncommonly. 



Page 75. Sp. 3. Licinus Silphoides. Taken abundantly in company with the 

 last. 



Page 78. Sp. 4. Chl^nius melanocornis has been taken several times in the 

 vicinity of Whittlesea Mere, and also in Cambridgeshire. 



In Loudon's Mag. Hist. Nat. v. ii. 302, is a notice, with a fig. (86), of a mon- 

 strosity of the mesotarsus of Chi. vestitus. 



Page 81. Sp. 1. Callistus lunatus. Not uncommon on the chalk hills 

 between Dover and Ramsgate, and in the neighbourhood of Reading, 

 Berks. 



Page 85. Genus 34 a. PRISTONYCHUS, De Jean. 



Palpi rather long, the terminal joint nearly cylindric, and truncate at the apex: 

 labrum subquadrate, faintly notched in front : mandibles very acute, slightly 

 bent : mentum with a bifid tooth in the centre of its anterior notch. Antennoe 

 very long and filiform, with the third joint scarcely three times as long as 

 the second: head porrect, elongate: thorax narrowed behind, elongate- 

 cordate : elytra elongate-ovate : wings generally wanting : males with the 

 first three joints of the anterior tarsi dilated; daws finely denticulated 

 beneath. 



Differs from Sphodrus by having the claws denticulated beneath, the third 

 joint of the antennae shorter in proportion, and in other less evident cha- 

 racters : the only indigenous species is Pr. Terricola, described in page 85 of 

 vol. i.

Above " of a brilliant fiery copper^ mingled with a purplish tint, the sides of 

 the thorax and the elytra reflecting a golden-green, and the suture on each 

 side occasionally tinged with a grassy-green : head rugose ; anteriorly 

 with a transverse impression; posteriorly smooth; labrum, mandibles, 

 palpi, and three basal joints of the antennae, shining black, reflecting green :
