ANISOTOMIDiE. LEIODES. 171 



Globose-ovate : head broad, shining, testaceous-red : eyes black, thorax smooth, 

 rufo-testaceous : elytra slightly attenuated behind, very convex, glossy testa- 

 ceous-red, and very faintly punctated striate, the interstices finely strigose 

 transversely: body pale testaceous beneath; legs stout, pale testaceous; 

 hinder femora with a large subacuminate tooth at the apex, and a smaller 

 one near the middle; hinder tibiae slightly arcuated: antennae pale testa- 

 ceous, the eighth joint scarcely less than the preceding : paler, without the 

 denticulations on the posterior femora. 



Known from the last by the elytra being concolorous with the head and thorax, 

 and punctate striated ; and from the next by the pale clava of the antennae. 



Taken in a bank near Coombe-wood. 



Sp. 4. brunnea. Globoso-ovata, rufo-brunnea, antennarum clava oculisque nigris, 

 elytris subtiliter punctato-striatis, interstitiis obsoletissime transversim sub' 

 strigosis. (Long. corp. § — 1 lin.) 



Anis. brunnea. Gyllenhal. — Le. brunnea. Steph. Catal. p. 68. JVo. 729. 



Small : globose-ovate : head glossy rufo-brunneous, smooth : eyes black : thorax 

 very convex, polished rufo-brunneous, impunctate : elytra rather attenuated 

 behind, very convex, glossy rufo-brunneous, regularly but finely punctate- 

 striated, the interstices obsoletely strigose transversely : body pale rufo-tes- 

 taceous beneath : legs stout, rufo-testaceous : antennae ferruginous at the base, 

 the five apical joints black, or fuscous: the eighth joint distinctly smaller 

 than the seventh. 



Distinguished by the black clava of the antennae from the two preceding species : 

 and from all the rest by the transverse strigae on the elytra. 



Found near London ; at Darenth-wood, beneath the bark of an 

 old pollard oak. 



Sp. 5. badia. Globoso-ovata, castaneo-brunnea, oculis nigris, antennis pedi- 

 busque pallidis, elytris punctato-striatis, interstitiis impunctatis. (Long. corp. 

 f-|lin.) 



Anis. badia. Sturm. — Le. badia. Steph. Catal. p. 68. No. 730. 



Small: globose-ovate: deep castaneous-brown, head and thorax impunctate: eyes 



black: elytra finely punctate-striated, the interstices impunctate: legs and 



antennae pale-testaceous. 

 The deep castaneous hue of this small insect, and the simple interstices between 



the striae on the elytra, and pale legs and antennae, distinguish it from its 



congeners. 

 Gyllenhal considers Sturm's An. badium to be referrible to the preceding insect ; 



but the absence of the transverse strigae, and concolorous clava of the antennae, 



appear to militate against his opinion. 



Taken in the metropolitan district; once found near Coombe- 

 wood. 



Sp. 6. pallens. Ohlongo-ovata, depressiuscula, corpore ioto pallide luteo, oculis
