 Erichson's description.

 lection.

 Not uncommon. Specimens sent to. Paris were returned to 

 me named C. subdepressus, Sturm. 



9. C. validus, Kraatz; E. C. Rye, Ent. Mon. Mag. VII., 9; 



C.fumatus, 1. c. VI., 257. 

 A rare insect, which occurs in warehouses in Newcastle, and 

 near South Shields among decaying herbage. 



10. C. cellaris, Scop., 1. c. I., 86 ; C. populi, 1. c. 



Very abundant. Represents C. populi in Mr. Selby's col- 

 lection. 



11. C.fumatus, Gyll., Erich. 1. c. 363. 



Very rare. Two specimens, $ , ? , are in my own collection,, 

 and are both local. 



This insect is closely allied to both C. cellaris and C. validus. 

 It differs from the first in having the anterior thoracic tooth more 

 developed, differently shaped elytra with short golden pubes- 

 cence not disposed in striae ; and from C. validus, the more nearly 

 quadrate thorax, and subcyathiform anterior tooth, readily se- 

 parate it.
