Snbfam. TETBAGONODEBINJE. 



This group, some of the members of which were included by Lacordaire in the Lebiinse, 

 and others relegated to distant parts of the Carabidae series, was defined for the first 



■ 



time by Chaudoir in his « Etude Monographique des Masoreides, des Tetragonoderides 

 et du genre Nemotarsus ,' published in 1876. The subfamily is justified by the peculiar 

 combination of characters which it presents — connate paraglossae, long spurs to the 



maxillae prolonged beyond the terminal hook 



hind 



appearance in its typical 



5 



of a structure of male 



■ 



hairy lobe, and the 

 lsewhere seen in the 











• 



Carabidae, viz. three joints dilated with biseriate squamae on the soles in the fore legs 

 and four or three joints dilated with brush-like soles in the intermediate legs.
