PRELIMINARY HAND-BOOK OF THE COLEOPTERA 

 OF NORTH EASTERN AMERICA. 



By Charles W. Leng and Wm. Beutenmuller. 



(Continued from Vol. H, p. 190.) 



Harpalin^. 



The members of this sub-family have the middle coxal cavities en- 

 tirely closed by the central pieces of the meso and metasternum, the 

 epimera not attaining the coxa. Head with setigerous puncture over 

 the eyes. Thorax with setigerous puncture at the side and posterior 

 angle, very rarely without the latter and still more rarely without either. 

 Anterior tibiae always either obliquely sinuate or deeply emarginate 

 within, the inner spur remote from the apex. They may be divided 

 into two sections, Harpalin^e bisetoste, head with two-supra-orbital 

 setigerous punctures, and Harpalinae unisetosae, which have the head 

 with one supra-orbital setigerous puncture. The former contain all the 

 genera from Panagceus to Helliiomorpha inclusive, and the latter from 

 Brachyniis to Anisodactyliis inclusive. 



Panageeus Lat. 



Head more or less constricted behind the eyes and dilated to a 

 semi-globular neck ; clypeus prolonged beyond the base of mandibles, 

 which are scissor-like ; antennce arising from under a distinct frontal 

 ridge, three basal joints glabrous ; terminal joint of maxillary palpi aris- 

 ing obliquely from the preceding joint; sides of elytra narrowly in- 

 flexed; thorax globular, abruptly constricted behind. Found under 

 stones during May and June. 



Synopsis of Species. 

 Elytra black with two large red spots extending from the margin to the first or
