Subfam. STENOLOPHINM 



The genera Stenolophus, Aeupalpus, Brady cellus, Tacky cellus, and their allies, usually 



associated with the Harpalinse 



guished from that group, as Dr. Hor 



has 



tly pointed out, by the penultimate joint of the labial palpi bearing two setse only. 

 With this character are associated many other points of difference, such as a relatively 

 smaller prothorax, curved frontal fovese, and the constant presence of a single puncture 



the third elytral 



They are insects of much smaller size than the g 



In 



majority of the true Harpalinse, and readily distinguished from them by their fades 

 short, they form a natural group ; and, the dilated tarsal joints of the male being 

 furnished beneath with squammules, they bear the same relation to the Harpalinse proper

the Pelmatellinee do to the Anisodactylinge. Some genera seem 1 



the nature of the clothing of the dilated tarsal soles of the male ; and further micro 



scopic investigation, especially of the numerous undescribed 



species, may show 



the necessity of uniting into one subfamily all these small Harpalidse with bisetose 

 penultimate joint of the labial palp

family. 



The frontal foveee in this genus are continued as a curved line to the inner margin of 



the eyes; and the penultimate joint of the labial palpi is bisetose, as in Stenolophus.
