According to Dr. F. E. Melsheimer, this is the Carabus autumnalis of

 and depressed ; basal impressions large, with the arese of the posterior angle 

 densely and rugosely punctured; mesial line narrow and entire, transverse ones 

 obsolete : elytra sinuate, simply and acutely striate ; interstices convex, the third

Hativaivs paradoxus. Black, glossy : antennas ferruginous, tomentose, two 

 basal articulations glabrous, and with the termination of the palpi, rufous : feet 

 brownish piceous : indentations between the antennoe large and profound, a disr 

 tinct transverse impressed frontal line : base of the pronotum contracted, narrowr 

 er than the base of the elytra, and much punctured, particularly in and near the 

 large basal indentations: mesial line distinct: elytra sinuate : deeply and acutely 

 striate ; interstices slightly flattened at base, and becoming convex towards the 

 tip. 15 mill. long. Probably an Anisodactylus with the preceding. 



Stenolophus badipennls. Black, glossy ; elytra testaceous brown, finely and 

 simply striate, interstices flat, third one with a puncture : head with a double

 are fuscous, with the tip and two basal articulations testaceous, with a black spot 

 on the posterior side of the first one ; palpi testaceous, basal half of the termi- 

 nal articulation brownish : pronotum with the extreme edge testaceous, basal 

 indentations obtuse, and sparsely punctured ; dorsal impressions almost obsolete : 

 femora very dark brown, discolored with rufous ; tibice and tarsi testaceous.
