60 MEMOIRS ON THE COLEOPTERA 



Glanodes n. gen. 



The type of this genus is Har pains obliquus Horn. Dr. Horn 

 does not mention any dilation of the anterior male tarsi and repre- 

 sentatives of the three species in my collection betray no indication 

 of it, although one of the types seems to be a male. The body is 

 completely isolated in habitus among our Harpalina;, but the 

 genus would seem to be better placed at the end of the Daptini 

 than anywhere else; the only other course would be to propose for 

 it a distinct tribe. The mentum is completely edentate, the ligula 

 slender, not dilated at the bisetose apex and much shorter than the 

 paraglossse, which are concave, only moderately broad and thick- 

 ened and obliquely truncate at apex; they have two or three short 

 external setae. The palpi are all very slender, the second joint 

 of the labial equal in length to the third and with about four short 

 erect setae. The eyes and other dorsal cephalic characters are 

 exactly as in Cratacanthus , but the antennae are less abbreviated. 

 The prothorax is distinctly wider than the head, with strongly 

 oblique straight sides posteriorly, the surface smooth and convex, 

 steeply and evenly declivous at the sides to the very finely reflexed 

 margin throughout, the fovese usually deep; the base is margined. 

 The elytra are oval, finely striate, with or without a dorsal setigerous 

 puncture, the punctures and foveae of the marginal interval small, 

 diffused and uninterrupted; the scutellar stria is fine, rather short, 

 free and oblique. The intercoxal process of the prosternum is 

 broad, but feebly constricted by the coxae and as usual plurisetose. 

 The hind tarsi are slender, with the first four joints decreasing slowly 

 and evenly in length, the first much shorter than the fifth; the 

 claws are arcuate, extremely slender and moderate in length. We 

 appear to have four species as follows: 



Elytra with a small setigerous puncture, externally adjoining the second 



stria near apical third 2

 2 Legs and antennae ferruginous. Pitchy black, shining; head moder- 

 ate, sparsely punctate; prothorax cordate, one-third wider than long, 

 the sides in front arcuate, posteriorly oblique, the margin very 

 narrow; base narrower than the apex; hind angles not prominent, 

 very obtuse, the point of the angle blunt; basal angular impressions 

 moderately deep, somewhat triangular and punctured, the median 

 line distinctly impressed, the surface moderately convex shining, 

 with a few punctures along the basal margin; elytra oval, the humeri
