Deep black-blue, rather obscure, punctulated, beneath clothed with a slightly 

 ashy down ; head wider than the thorax, with a broad space between the 

 eyes, the middle of which bears a slightly elevated ridge, and on each side are 

 two fovese ; thorax somewhat rounded, elongate, obcordate, punctured ; 

 elytra rather unequal at the base above, depressed towards the suture, the 

 disc of each adorned with a bright round fulvous spot, placed a little behind 

 the middle ; abdomen less brilliant, nearly black, and rather glossy, with 

 two setse at the apex; legs long, clothed with short ashy down ; anteniise 

 and palpi black, with a fine ashy pubescence. 



I believe this insect has not yet been taken in the metropolitan district, though 

 I have an imperfect notion of having heard that a species had been taken at 

 Southgate by Mr. Walker.
