a Family of Coleoptei'ous Insects. 
Parvus, statura P. microcephali et lineati, niger. Caput mag- 
num. Antennce magnae, clavatae, irregulares, ferrugineae, 
biarticulatae, clav& elongate integral. Thorax laevis, ferru- 
gineus, immaculatus. Elytra strig5 medifi, margineque 
omni a strig& ad apicem ferrugineis. Pedes nigri. 
I have been compelled, in consequence of not having met 
with any specimen of the genus agreeing with the description 
given of this species by Fabricius in the Entomologia Systema- 
tica, (to which no additional description is given in the Systema 
Eleutheratorum ,) to draw the above characters from the Fabri- 
cian specific description : I consequently place it in this section 
with doubt. 
In addition to the preceding species, Latreille in the Nouveau 
Dictionnaire d’Hist. Nat. vol. xxv. p. 58. states, that “M. Gat- 
toire en a trouv6 une esp&ce a l’lle de France.” The species 
is not, however, mentioned, but from its geographical habitat 
it would appear to be a distinct species : indeed, in his new 
work, Cours d’Entomologie, vol. i. p. 298, Latreille mentions 
this as “une espbce inedite.” 
Genus 3. IIylotorus. Dalman, Latr. 
Paussus. Gyll., Schonh.
