[378] In the former Editions of this work this insect was stated to be synonymous with Trox dubius of Panzer, which it much resembles, except in the sculpture of the prothorax, (Fn. Ins. Germ. Init. lxii. t. 5.); but as Schönherr and Gyllenhal, who had better means of ascertaining the point, regard Georyssus pygmæus, Latr., as Panzer's insect, the reference is now omitted. G. areniferus differs considerably from G. pygmæus, as described by Gyllenhal (Insect. Suec. I. iii. 675.) The front is not rugulose, the vertex is channeled, the antennæ shorter than the head; the prothorax is rather shining, marked anteriorly with several excavations, in the middle of which is a channel forming a reversed cross with a transverse impression.
