 Anis. armata. Sturm. — Le. armata. Steph. Catal. p. 69. No. 747. 



Short, subglobose-ovate : deep glossy rufo-ferruginous : head and thorax im- 

 punctate : elytra rather dilated anteriorly, faintly punctate-striate, the inter- 

 stices thickly but finely punctured throughout, but without larger impressions 

 on the alternate ones : body ferruginous beneath : legs pale rufo-testaceous ; 

 the hinder femora elongate, subclavate, slightly dentate; posterior tibiae elongate, 

 much bent ; antennae pale at the base, with the club dusky. 



The short and broad subglobose form of this insect, which approaches towards 

 that of the following section, with its impunctate thorax, and thickly punctured 

 elytra, with elongated posterior legs and dentate femora, at once distinguish 

 it from any of the foregoing.

 Esq.; from whose collection I obtained my specimen. " Near 

 Carlisle." — T. C. Hey sham, Esq. 



Sp. 24. rugosa. Brevis, subgloboso-ovalis, rufo-ferruginea, capite thoraceque 

 puctulatis, elytris puntatato-striatis, interstitiis transverse rugosis. (Long, 

 corp. If lin.) 



Le. rugosa. Steph. Nomenclature, p. 6. — Steph. Catal. Appendix. 



Short, subglobose-ovate; rather glossy rufo-ferruginous; head and thorax 

 thickly but minutely punctured : elytra regularly though somewhat faintly 

 punctate-striate, the punctures very distinct, the interstices transversely rugose : 

 legs pale rufo-testaceous : eyes dusky : antennae rufo-piceous ; the three ter- 

 minal joints very large. 



The size of the foregoing species, which it greatly resembles, except in having 

 the head and thorax thickly punctured and the elytra transversely rugose 

 throughout, by which characters it may be known from its congeners. 



Taken near London. 



B. With the body nearly hemisphaeric. 



Sp. 25. humeralis. Nigra subtits rufo-ferruginea, elytris fulvo pubescentibus, 

 confuss punctato-striatis, interstitiis confertissime punctulatis, macula humerali 

 rubra. (Long. corp. 1^ — If lin.)
