INSECTA SAUNDERSIANA. 
impressed; the elevation of the second interstice is continued longi¬ 
tudinally in a more evident convexity than the other interstices: elytra 
depressed along the suture to two-thirds of the length; the ante-apical 
tubercles are three in number on each elytron, the median being the most 
elongate, acute, but not attaining to the perpendicular level of the apex, 
which is not quite, though nearly, perpendicularly truncated: they are 
slightly scattered with thin fulvous grizzly pile, showing the pitchy ground¬ 
colour : they have a basal light fulvous lineola inside the shoulder, and 
their apex is entirely clothed with a very dense fulvous-ochraceous pile, 
reaching above over the tubercles, where it is transversely truncated,—a 
character which gives them some resemblance to several species of 
Anthribus , properly so-called. 
Pygidium broad, transverse, subsemicircular, nearly flat, subperpendi¬ 
cular, densely clothed like the apex of the elytra. 
Body beneath pitchy, scattered with pile like the elytra, having the 
two apical rings of the abdomen densely clothed like the elytra and 
pygidium. 
Legs pitchy, scattered with pile like the body beneath. 
Obs .—I have named this interesting insect after Mr. Waterhouse 
whose transcendent genius in the natural sciences, and for those important 
works on Palaeontology, Mammalogy and Entomology, have gained for 
him an European reputation.
