monticola, Dej., Sp. iv. 195. 

 stictuji, Steph. ; Wat. Cat. 

 Mr. Waterhouse informs me that the Ojihomis siictus of 

 Stephens must be referred to this species. 



7. Harpalus parallelus, Dejean, Sp. Gen. iv. 219, 25 



(1829); E. W. Janson, Proc. Ent. Soc. 3 Feb. 1862,

"Captured by the late H. Squire on the Sussex Coast, 

 February, ] 858.'" 



This may be known from the small vars. of jmncticoUiSj 

 Payk., by its shorter, sub-quadrate thorax, on which the 

 dorsal channel and basal fovese are indistinct or almost 

 wanting; the elytra have also on the third and fifth in- 

 terstices a row of distinctly larger punctures. Its general 

 colour is dai'ker, and this is especially seen on the under 

 surface. 



8. Harpalus griseus, Panzer, Faun. Germ. 38, 1 



(Corabus); Dejean, Sp. iv. 251. 49, Icon. iv. 144, 



43, pi. 186, f. 4; Boisd. et Lac. Faun. Ent. Paris, i. 



150, 12; Erichs. Kaf. Brand. 47, 5. 



Mr. Waterhouse has in his collection tvro examples of this 



species, hitherto unrecorded as British, and long ago 



separated by him under this name. This species comes next 



to ruJicorniSy Fab,, which it much resembles ; but is smaller, 



with the hinder angles of the thorax somewhat obtuse, and 



the apex of the elytra scarcely exhibiting any sinuation ; 



whereas rujicornis is larger, with the thoracic angles 



decidedly acute, and the apex of the elytra distinctly sinuated. 



Detected amongst some specimens of the latter species, but 



Mr. Waterhouse has no locality for them, and does not
