66 COLEOPTERA. 



shortly before the extremity, then gradually contracted, con- 

 vex, deeply striated, the stride punctured for two-thirds their 

 extent and deepening towards the apex, the outer margin with 

 a series of coarse impressions ; under side black, legs red. 

 Length 2j— 3 lin. This species has been captured near 

 Reigate, and on the sand-hills at Deal.

Harpalus calceatus, Dufts. Faun. ii. 81 (Carabus). 

 Elongate, brownish or pitchy black ; palpi and antennae tes- 

 taceous red. Thorax subquadrate, sides rounded in front, 

 slightly narrowed behind, posterior angles right angles, 

 disk transversely wrinkled, with a very distinct dorsal 

 furrow, and the entire posterior margin and angles very 

 densely punctulated, but without foveas, having merely in 

 their place indistinct or obsolete depressions. Elytra stri- 

 ated, striae impunctate, interstices convex, outer margin 

 finely and thickly punctulated in the middle, more coarsely 

 before and behind ; underside pitchy ; breast punctured ; legs 

 testaceous red. Length 5h lines. 



A single $ example was captured near Swansea, as long 

 ago as 1830, by the Rev. C. Kuper. I am surprised that this 

 species should not be common with us, and that its claim to 

 be recorded should even now rest upon a solitary individual. 

 It is plentiful in France, and occasionally enters lighted 

 apartments in the summer evenings ; moreover it is a large 

 and conspicuous insect and very unlikely to be overlooked. 



Stenolophus Skrimshiranus, Steph. Mand. i. 166 ; Daw-
