152 MANDIBULATA. — COLEOPTERA. 



elytra punctate-striated; the interstices slightly elevated and smooth: an- 

 tennae, legs, and palpi pale castaneous. 

 Rather larger than the last, narrower, and the prevalent colour of a deeper hue ; 

 the elytra faintly clouded with dusky, with smooth interstices between the 

 stria?. 



The Marshamian specimen is the only one I have examined : 

 its locality is unknown to me. 



Sp. 54. testaceum. Ovatum, corpore omnino piceo-testaceo capite saturatiore, 



antennarum capitulo fusco, elytris obsolete striatis. (Long. corp. *| lin.) 

 Sp. testaceum. Kirby MSS.—Ce. testaceum. Steph. Catal p. 65. No. 680. 



Minute, ovate ; slightly glossy : the entire body deep pitchy-testaceous, with the 

 head rather darker : the elytra obsoletely striated : the legs and palpi testa- 

 ceous, the base of the antennas the same, the capitulum fuscous. 



The fuscous capitulum of the antennae of this minute insect, and its deep 

 testaceous colour, are its principal distinctive characters. 



Found in Suffolk and Norfolk. 



Sp. 55. inustum. Ovatum, nigrum, nitidum, coleoptris striatis testaceis, 



maculis tribusfuscis, pedibus testaceis. (Long. corp. 1 lin.) 

 De. inustus. Marsham.—Ce. inustum. Steph. Catal. p. 65. No. 681. 



Ovate, shining : head black, immaculate : thorax black, with the margins rufous : 

 elytra striated, testaceous, with a triangular common brown patch at the base, 

 and a large brown spot on each elytra near the apex : legs and antennae tes- 

 taceous.

 Sp. ustulatum. Kirby MSS. — Ce. ustulatum. Steph. Catal. p. 65. No. 682. 



Oblong-ovate, shining black, head and thorax immaculate ; elytra striated, tes- 

 taceous, each with an ustulated cloud towards the apex : legs pitchy-black : 

 antennae testaceous. 



This differs from Ce. inustum by having the margins of the thorax concolorous ; 

 and from Ce. bimaculatum by the difference of the position and the form of the 

 maculations on the elytra, which are irregularly defined in this species. 



Found in Suffolk. 



Sp. 57. bimaculatum. Oblongo-ovatum, nigrum, nitidum, coleoptris striatis 



testaceis, maculis duabus fuscis pone mediam. (Long. corp. 1 lin.) 

 Ce. bimaculatum mihi. — Steph. Catal. p. 65. No. 683. 



Oblong-obvate, shining: head black, immaculate: thorax black, very glossy, 

 the lateral margins concolorous : elytra testaceous, striated, the interstices
