Page 159, OPHONUS: of this genus De Jean erroneously considers that 

 English entomologists are ignorant of the species allied to Op, puncticollis : 

 he has merely to refer to Curtis, fo. 191, or to my first vol., page 160, &c., to 

 he convinced of the contrary. 



Page 163. Ophonus IsevicoUis. Op. brevicoUis. Steph. Nomen. ^d edit, 

 col. 11. — Atro-piceus subtus dilutior, antennis pedibusque pallide testaceis, 

 thorace brevissimo, disco subpunctato, limbo profunde et creberrime punctata. 

 (Long. corp. 2| lin.) 



Deep pitchy-black, paler beneath ; thorax transverse, very short, rounded on 

 the sides, the disc obscurely and somewhat remotely punctured; the sides 

 thickly, deeply, and rather coarsely punctured; elytra faintly striate, the 

 interstices thickly and minutely punctured : legs and antennae pale testa- 

 ceous. 



As De Jean has an Oph. brevicollis (which is the same as Op. cribrellus of 

 this work, and consequently falls), I have been compelled to substitute 

 another name. 



Found on the banks of the Thames, below Gravesend.

Palpi with the terminal joint elongate, nearly cylindric and truncate; labrum 

 transverse, faintly emarginated in front ; mandibles exserted, much bent, and 

 very acute ; mentum emarginate in front, without a central lobe. Antennce 

 filiform, composed of joints of nearly equal length ; head subtriangular, 

 narrowed behind : thorax transverse, emarginate anteriorly, the sides dilated 

 and rounded, the base rather remote from the elytra, the last oblong, oval, 

 depressed, a little truncate at the extremity ; legs moderate ; males with 

 three dilated joints to the anterior tarsi.

Appendix, i. p. 406. iVo. Curtis, v. vii. pi. 287. — Oblongo-ovatis, nigro- 



piceus, elytrorum basi, ante7inis pedibusque J'errugineis. (Long. corp. 2 — 2§ lin.) 



Oblong-ovate, pitchy-black, or pale chestnut, glossy : elytra the same, faintly 

 punctate-striated, with the base, and the antennae and legs, entirely fer- 

 ruginous : thorax sometimes pitchy, at others pale chestnut, or ferrugi- 

 nous. 



One of my specimens is entirely ferruginous. 



Taken on the shore of the Thames by Sheerness, and rather abundantly on the 

 Chesil bank of the Isle of Portland, whence I have a fine series given to me 

 by my friend Professor Henslow. 



First recorded as British in the note in vol. ii. p. 127 of these Illustrations.
