156 MANDIBULATA. — COLEOPTERA. 



I obtained this species from the Marshamian cabinet by the above 

 name. I have, however, taken the insect myself, but the exact 

 locality I do not remember. 



Sp. 5. lunatum. Atrum nitidum, thoracis margine concolore, elytris macula 



apicis lunatd margineque exteriore rubris. (Long. corp. 2\ — 2§ lin.) 

 Sp. lunatum. Fabricius? — Steph. Catal. p. 66. No. 691. 



Less than Sc. Scarabaeoides : deep shining black : head and thorax immaculate 

 above, with a large testaceous spot on each side beneath : elytra with a faint 

 sutural stria, a lunate spot at the apex, and the outer margin red : legs piceous, 

 femora clouded with black. 



Differs from Sp. bipustulatum by wanting the humeral spot entirely, and having 

 the exterior margin of the elytra testaceous : the legs piceous, with the femora 

 clouded with black. 



Not uncommon near London, at Hertford, Ripley, &c. ; also found 

 near Swansea, and Bristol, in Devonshire, Norfolk, Suffolk, &c. 



Sp. 6. marginatum. Atrum nitidum, thoracis elytrorumque margine Jlavo- 

 testaceis, pedibusferrugineis,femoribusfascid nigrd. (Long. corp. 2 — 2\ lin.) 



Sp. marginatum. Fabricius. — Steph. Catal. p. 66. No. 692. 



Shining black, finely punctured: head immaculate: thorax, with the outer 

 margin narrowly edged with testaceous-yellow : elytra immaculate, with the 

 lateral margin slightly bordered with yellowish, or luteous : legs ferruginous, 

 with a black fascia on the femora. 



Closely allied to Sp. quadrimaculatum, but differs in having the elytra spotless, 

 the exterior margin alone being slightly flavescent. 



Also frequent near London, but less so than Sc. bipustulatum. 



Sp. 7. Daltoni. Atrum nitidum, thoracis margine concolore, elytris immaculatis, 



margine exteriore versus apicem rufescente. (Long. corp. 2 lin.) 

 Sp. Daltoni. Kirby MSS.—Steph. Catal. p. 66. No. 693. 



Shining black, head and thorax immaculate: elytra immaculate, with the outer 

 margin slightly edged with reddish towards the tip: legs piceous, femora 

 with a black patch. 



The inferior size, and totally immaculate elytra, with the concolorous outer 

 margin to the thorax, well distinguish this insect from its congeners. 



Found in Yorkshire, but not, I believe, near London : one of my 

 specimens was in the Marshamian collection by the above name. 

 The insect appears distinct from its congeners.
