One specimen at Long Benton. —Z. J. B. 
Mr. Stephens, in his description of this species in the ‘ Manual,’ 
observes, that “the third interstice from the suture has four deep 
impressions.” My specimen has also four impressions on each 
elytron, but differently disposed. There are three deeply impress- 
ed punctures on the third interstice, one about the middle and 
the other two towards the apex ; while on the fourth interstice, 
there is an additional puncture much nearer the base than any 
of the former.—Z’. J. B.

Under the bark of willows, and in the decayed stems of this- 
tles in moist ditches; Dunston, and the banks of the Team. 
The thorax is narrow in proportion to the elytra and transverse- 
ly wrinkled, and the upper surface has a brassy tint. The legs 
and antenne are fuscous. In young individuals the elytra are 
pale testaceous, and these are perhaps the Ayonwm fuliginoswm 
of English entomologists. It is common in spring.

‘From the characters given by Stephens, I am led to consider 
this as an immature variety of some of the others, perhaps of A. 
atratum.—J. H.
