rows of strong punctures next the claval suture, and two others near 
the anterior margin ; memhrane hyaline, whitish at the base, nerves 
brownish. Antennae, rostrum, and legs piceous. 
Head — Delicately punctured, but with deep, irregular punctures close to the an- 
terior margin ; central lobe extending backwards nearly to the base of the 
head, narrow, sides parallel. Antennas pale piceous, last joint dai'ker, 3rd and 
4th joints slightly clavate, 5th fusiform. Eyes triangular both above and be- 
neath, piceous. nostrum pale piceous. Underside : the rostral channel ex- 
tending the whole length of the head, the sides sharply raised. 
Thorax — Pronotum slightly convex, narrowed a little, and gradually, to the front, 
anterior angles rounded off to the eyes ; anterior margin deeply and squarely 
cut out for the reception of the head, on the margin, behind each ocellus, a 
deep fovea ; disc very finely punctured, except on a large smooth space on each 
side of the middle anteriorly. Scutelhcm convex at the base, flatter posteriorly, 
covered with very fine, but distinct, distant punctures. Elytra — Corium out- 
wardly piceous, disc punctured like the scutellum, but with smaller punctures, 
two straight lines of stronger punctures parallel to the claval suture, and two 
others, larger and deeper, and black, near the anterior margin ; memhrane 
hyaline, yellowish-white at the base, the colour spreading into a blotch beneath 
the apex of the scutellum, nerves indistinctly fuscous. Legs piceous ; tarsi 
pale. Length 2 lines. 
Several examples, of which only two or three were mature, were 
taken under stones, on grassy, sandy slopes near the sea at "Whitsand 
Bay, near the Land's End, on August 20th, 1864, by Mr. J. C. Dale, 
who has kindly communicated specimens and the information. 
Dr. Fieber has seen a specimen, and corroborates our conviction 
that the species is new. He remarks that " it resembles Oydnus nigrita 
in form, and G. punctulatus, Costa, in the slight convexity of the pro- 
notum, but the membrane is differently marked."
