the antenne, legs, and thorax, are teftaceous, the latter marked in the 
middle with a band of black ; the wing-cafes are black, with fix tefta- 
ceous fpots of an irregular form, difpofed in two longitudinal feries on 
each. Like the reft of its tribe, Dytifcus 12-Puftulatus is of the aquatic 
kind.
