[Long. 2J-33, lat. 1-1 § lines. 

 The genera described by Mr. Pascoe (Ann. N.H., 1869, p. 140) 

 as allies of Adelium are very briefly characterised, and widely 

 diverse forms might happen to present in combination the two or 

 three characters mentioned. Among these, Licinoma is charac- 

 terised as having slight differences from Adelium in the shape of 

 the mentum, the width of the eye, the concavity of the front 

 margin of the prothorax, and the clothing of the tarsi beneath. 

 The present species presents these differences, and therefore I 

 refer it to Licinoma. 



In all the specimens that I have seen of this insect, two of the 

 fovese or large punctures on the prothorax are placed a little in 

 front of the middle, one on either side of the middle line ; the 

 apical joint of the hind tarsi is about the same length as the basal 

 joint. The general appearance is that of a small Harpalus. I 

 do not find any sexual characters other than in the males being 

 smaller, narrower, and more parallel than the females, with the 

 anterior tarsi moderately dilated. The elytra are strongly drawn 

 forward in the middle of the base, so that the front margin of 

 each elytron is very oblique.
