Until corrected by M. de Laferte, I was under the impression 

 that this species was different from the Ch. oculatus, Fab., 

 and had attached the name Ch. Chevrolatii to it, in honour of 

 my friend M. Chevrolat, in the figure which I published of it 

 in Plate xiii. in the 'Annals' of June, 1857. The reader 

 is requested to make the following alterations in the names at 

 the bottom of that plate : viz. in place of Chlcenius Chevrolatii to 

 insert C. oculatus, Fab. ; and for Chlcenius diaphanicollis to sub- 

 stitute Eccoptomenus eximius, Dej.

 niger, subtus testaceus, nitidus ; thorace subquadrato, polito,

Allied to the Chlcenius glabratus, Dej., and having considerable 

 similarity in general appearance to Poecilus cupreus, Linn., or 

 Anisodactylus virens, Dej. 



Somewhat obese in form. Above with head and thorax 

 shining, and elytra dull, black; head virescent, and thorax with 

 a slight tinge of virescence, most observable on the margins; 

 elytra almost without virescence, except a slight tinge at the
