abdomen, fusco-piceous; clavus with four rows of distinct, black punctures ; 
corium exterior to the outer nerve, pale piceous, dise with fine, black punctures 
inirregular rows; membrane with an undefined spot at the base of the two inner 
nerves, a long one exterior to the base of the outer nerve, and a long one on 
each of the four nerves posteriorly, not extending to the extremity, all yel- 
lowish. Legs slender, piccous, with fine projecting hairs; thighs pale at the 
apex, first pair beneath, beyond the middle, with one small spine on the inner 
edge. 
Abdomen black, lustrous. Length 23 lines. 
This very distinct species, which we cannot find to have been de- 
scribed, fits very well to the characters given by Fieber to his genus 
Drymus, the antenne and the pronotum, however, are proportionally 
longer than in either of the other species. 
One example, ?, was taken by Mr. Champion last August, in 
moss, in a wood near Hurst, Sussex. 
Genus LASIOSOMUS, Fieb. 
Body pilose, long-ovate. 
Head pentagonal, middle lobe prominent, side lobes narrow, curved in- 
wards ; eyes globose, projecting beyond the anterior angle of the 
pronotum ; antenne hairy, first joint long, slightly thickened to 
the apex, projecting about one-third beyond the apex of the head, 
first, third, and fourth joints in length sub-equal, second rather 
longer, fourth scarcely thicker than third, long-fusiform; rostrwm 
reaching across the metasternum, first joint rather longer than the 
head. Pronotum trapeziform, sides sinuate, across the middle de- 
pressed, anterior margin slightly and obtusely carinate. Zlytra: 
membrane with four fine nerves, the inner two joining posteriorly, 
and forming a long, narrow cell; legs moderate, anterior thighs 
scarcely incrassated, unarmed. 
Fieber places this genus between Pionosomus and Acompus.
