LOPHOGLOSSUS Lee. 



Obs. Posterior tarsi obsoletely grooved on the outer side of the 

 first joint ; prosternum flattened at tip, but not margined ; pro- 

 thorax strongl}' margined, basal fovere deep, hind angles not cari- 

 nate ; elytra feebly sinuate at tip, marginal stria single, scutellar 

 stria long, dorsal punctures three ; metathoracic episterna long. 



Differs from Pterostichus 3, G, (Omaseus), chiefl^^ b}- the pro- 

 thorax more strongly margined, hind angles not carinate, and by 

 the ligula being obtusely carinated for its whole length ; the last 

 character being the only one which for convenience ma}^ be assumed 

 to have generic value. 



A. Hind angles of prothorax rectangular, sides sinuate towards the base ; 



middle tibia; of % armed with a subapical tooth on the inner side, 

 more or less distinct, and an apical process. 



a. % 9 not very brilliant, elytra of 9 dull. 

 Larger sides of protliorax scarcely sinuate behind ; middle tihiaj of % 

 with an acute, apical process, and obsolete subapical tooth. 



Haldemani Lee. 

 Large, sides of prothorax distinctly sinuate towards the base middle 

 tibine of % with an obtuse subapical tooth, and a large acute apical

h. % ^ moderately and equally brilliant ; sides of prothorax distinctly 

 sinuate behind ; middle tibiae % with an acute subapical tooth, apical 

 process wanting. strenuus Lee. 



c. % '^ very brilliant, as if varnished ; sides of prothorax distinctly but 

 less strongly sinuate, middle tibiae of male witli acute subapical tooth 

 and feeble obtuse apical process, a. Hind angles of prothorax less 

 prominent, camidenfiis Chaud. scrutator Lee. 



B. Hind angles of prothorax obtuse, sides more widely reflexed behind ; 



elytra % dull, middle tibiae without subapical tooth and but feeble 

 apical process. r/raris, n. sp. 



L. GRAVIS, black, moderately shining, el^'tra (%) less shining, 

 form and sculpture as in L. tartaricus, except that the sides of the 

 prothorax are simply rounded, not at all sinuate near the hind 

 angles, which are obtuse ; the lateral margin is rather more widely 

 reflexed behind. Long. 19 mm.
