12. H. RUSTicus. — Peep black-brown ; base of tbe antennse, 

 moutb beneath and palpi, and posterior thoracic angles reddish- 

 brown ; glabrous beneath. 



Length from two-fifths to half an inch. 



Carabus rusticus Melsh. Catal. 



Antennae brown, two basal joints reddish-brown ; labrum black ; 

 maxillae and palpi reddish-brown ; thorax glabrous, a dorsal im- 

 pressed line, and two abbreviated ones at base ; margin not de- 

 pressed, but continuing the generaUcurve to the edge; hind 

 angles obsoletely reddish-brown ] elytra, striae impunctured ; 

 second, fourth, and sixth interstitial lines punctured near the tip, 

 marginal one with ocellate punctures not interrupted in the mid- 

 dle; pectus and postpectus not hairy. 



Var. a. Elytra reddish-brown. 



Very similar to S. carhonan'us and equally common ; but is 

 readily distinguishable by the color of the thoracic angles, naked 

 breast, punctures of the interstitial lines, &c. 



[Belongs to Anisodactylus ; A. tristis Dej. is merely a variety. 

 — Leg.] 



13. H. CARBONARius. — Black ; palpi and base of the antennae 

 piceous ; sternum and postpectus somewhat hairy. [33] 



Length nearly eleven-twentieths of an inch. 



Carabus carbonarius Melsh Catal. 



Antennae blackish brown, basal joints piceous ; palpi piceous 

 at the tips of the joints; vertex with an obsolete piceous spot 

 visible in a particular light ; thorax, dorsal line not deeply 

 impressed ; exterior and posterior lateral margin depressed and 

 somewhat rugose ; basal lines not definite ; base not narrowed ; 

 elytra strias not impunctured, punctures on the marginal inter- 

 stitial line few and hardly ocellate, sixth interstitial line punc- 

 tured near the tip ; sternum a little hairy from the head to the 

 tip ; postpectus somewhat hairy on the disk ; venter, first segment 

 hairy beneath. 



A very common species. The hairs beneath are small, and 

 require the aid of the microscope to be discovered.
