3. Chpysopilus Macq. (1826). 



( (ilirysopilii Macii- IS'M). 

 Middle sizcd or small species of slender form, generally more or 

 less clothed with golden hairs which, however, are easily rubbed of}'. 

 Head as broad as, or broader tlian, the thorax, somewhat semiglobular. 

 but flattened or excavated on the lower front part. Antennæ 

 inserted rather near to each other, a littlc below the middle. Face 

 flat or somewhat excavated, but the epistoma much arched, the yowis 

 not produced below the eyes. Antennæ three-jointed and of a siiape 

 quite as in Leptis. Eyes bare, the facets in the upper part larger 

 than below, the dividing line shar]). The mouth parts chiefly as in 

 Leptis; proboscis not long, the basal part of labium short, the labella 

 moderately broad, much longer than the basal part of labium, some- 

 what protruding; labrum, hypopharynx and maxillæ as in Leptis, but 

 the hypopharynx of the same length as labrum; tiie maxillary palpi 

 indistinctly two jointed. the basal joint very small, the second joint 

 long, slender and in contradistinction to the case in Leptis it is liere 

 curved upwards towards the ejiistoma and set with long and strong 

 bristles. Thorax is rectangular, somewhat arched. Abdomen as in 

 Leptis, consisting of seven segments. The legs long; the front tibiæ 

 without apical spurs, the middle tibiæ with two and the hind tibiæ

The larvæ and pupæ of several species have been described by 

 Beling (Arch. fur Naturgesch. Jahrg. 41, 1875, 'ri, and Jahrg. 48, 18S2, 

 190 — 93). They chiefly resemble those of Leptis, and they are also 

 amphipneustic. They live in the same way and on the same piaces 

 as the Leptis larvæ, and they hibernale. 



The species of Chrysopilus especially occur on humid meadows 

 in or near woods or in tlie low iierbage in open, damp piaces in 

 woods and thickets.
