8 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



collection by Stephens as bicolor, and figured by bim under 

 thai name. He appears to have taken it at Coombe Wood, 

 and it has been recently found near Eriih by Dr. Power and 

 Mr. Champion. 



5. T. rufipes, Fahr. Short, ovate, shining black ; head, 

 thorax and legs pale red. Long. Ij lin. Recorded by Mr. 

 Stephens from Windsor and Coombe Wood. Its short ovate 

 form will at once distinguish it. 



(T. lepida, Fald., appears to be very near this species, but the 

 antennae are entirely red the, club being dark in T. rufipes ; 

 the third joint of the antennae is much shorter, about equal to 

 the fourth. It occurs near Paris and in Sweden, &c.) 



These species all occur in fungus on old trees, generally in 

 the spring and early summer, and when one is found in a 

 fungus others may often be discovered in liule crevices of 

 bark on other parts of the tree. 



The genus Engis, which comes next to this in our lists, is 

 represented by two species only with us. 



1. E. rufifrons, i^rt^r. Pitchy black, shining; head, legs 

 and a humeral spot on the elytra dull red. Very common in 

 Fungi everywhere. 



2. E. humeralis, Fahr. Head, thorax, legs and humeral 

 spot on the elytra red; the rest black. Karer; I have 

 recently found it near Brandon, in Norfolk. 



Besides these, two others might be expected from their 

 European range : — 



E. bipustulata, F . Entirely black ; legs and a humoral 

 spot on the elytra bright red. Larger than the common 

 species. 



E. glabra, Schall. (sanguinicollis, F.) Black; thorax, legs 

 and two spots on each elytron bright red. 



This last is now formed into a new genus (Combocerus, 

 Bedel), from the construction of its antennae and tarsi. 



2. On the Genus Rhynchites. 



The following remarks are extracted from the careful mono- 

 grapjh of this genus by M. Desbrocher de Loges, which has 

 recently a|)peared in the ' Abeille,' and will serve to clear 

 up the smaller blue sj)ccies, which are often mixed in collec- 

 tions.
