DESCRIPTION. 



Body narrow, black -brown, very minutely and thickly punctured, sprinkled with short decumbent 

 pale hairs, not glossy. Head inserted ; eyes hemispherical ; palpi rufous ; antenna nearly as long 

 as the prothorax, ferruginous, a little embrowned at the apex : prothorax not wider than long, anteri- 

 orly narrowest, posteriorly obsoletely trilobed ; sides rounded : scutellum transverse : elytra very 

 little wider than the prothorax : tarsi ferruginous. 



As Paykull was the original describer of this insect, with Mr. Mac Leay and Mr. Stephens, I 

 have retained his name in lieu of that of Fabricius, adopted by most continental Entomologists.
