290 INSECTA. 



glossae; the exterior palpi are terminated by an oval joint, acumi- 

 nated at the extremity. 



They are small, frequent humid places, and are not strangers in 

 northern countries. 



CLiviNA,Lat. 



Three stout teeth on the external side of the two anterior tibiae, and 

 one on that of the next two(l). 



Dyschirius, Bon. Clivina, Dej. 



Nothing but dentations or very indistinct and small spines on the 

 external side of the two anterior tibiae, and where the extremity 

 of this side is usually extended into a long point in the form of a 

 spine, and opposed to another consisting of a stout spur on the in- 

 ternal side. The last joint of the labial palpi is thicker in propor- 

 tion than that of the Clivinae, and almost clavato-securiform. The 

 thorax is usually globular(2). 



Our second and last subdivision of the Bipartiti will comprise 

 those whose anterior tibiae are neither dentated externally, nor bidi- 

 gitated at the extremity, and where the second joint of the antennae 

 is evidently shorter than the third. They closely approximate to 

 the two last subgenera in the organs of manducation, and have been 

 confounded by some authors with the Scarites, which, in fact, they 

 very much resemble, both in appearance and habits. 



Some have a narrow elongated body, almost forming a parallelo- 

 piped, with a nearly square thorax; the antennae either entirely or 

 partly granose; the last joint of the exterior palpi almost cylin- 

 drical, and the same of those of the labium, nearly in the form of a 

 reversed cone, or securiform. They are all exotic. 



Morio, Lat. 



Antenna; equal in size throughout; labrum profoundly emarginate; 

 exterior palpi filiform; thighs oval, with triangular tibiae(3). 



OzjEna, Oliv. 

 Antennae thicker or inflated at their extremity; labrum entire;
