APPENDIX. 397 



Mr. C. Curtis nor mj^self could get a clear view, and from subsequent 

 examinations of numerous specimens, it would appear that the basal portion 

 of the antennae is slightly misrepresented in the plate (sv. f. 6), and that the 

 apparent second joint is a mere continuation of the basal one ; the numbers, 

 therefore, in the character of the genus require alteration, the cup-shaped 

 joint being the second instead of the third, then follow two very minute 

 ones, and two gradually larger, the remainder as before, but varying a little 

 in form in two of the species, as may be seen by comparing the figure above 

 quoted with that of En. Gibsoni, in Curtis, as quoted below.

 " Cupreous, or greenish ; head and thorax slightly punctured, the latter very 



convex, with two foveolets, and a basal oblique long and narrow fovea on 



each side." — Curtis, I. c. 

 Being in doubt as to the distinctions of all the species which this genus is 



supposed to embrace, I have merely extracted the characters given by 



Mr. Curtis in folio 291. I think it probable that En. Gibsoni may be 



distinct. 

 Abundant near Halifax, and in "great plenty in Whiteadder River, near 



Berwick-upon-Tweed." — C. C. Babington, Esq.

corp. 1 — 15 lin ) 

 " Thorax more depressed, and much more strongly punctured, with six 



anterior foveolets, and the usual foveae broad and oval." — Curtis, I. c. 

 Found with the preceding.

Very like the first : " Black, the thorax less punctured, and the anterior 

 foveolet scarcely visible." — Curtis, I. c. 



Taken with the last.

 Pitchy-brass, shining; thorax with its sides dilated, with a deep punctured 



fovea towards the anterior angle ; elytra considerably dilated and pale 



pitchy-brass, faintly punctate-striate ; antennae and legs pitchy-red. 

 Found on Putney Heath in May.
