 Harpalus anxius, var., immature, Dawson, Geod. Brit. 

 151,28(1854)? 

 Distinguished from its near ally H. anxius, and which it 

 should precede in our collections, by its invariably larger size 

 and broad depressed form, bright ferruginous antennas, the 

 greater comparative width of the thorax behind, which gives 

 it the appearance of being much more narrowed in front, its 

 more acute posterior angles, and by its relatively short broad 

 elytra. In colour it varies from pitchy black to bright red- 

 brown ; in the darkest specimens the lateral and posterior 

 margins of the thorax are narrowly red-brown, in lighter 

 coloured individuals the posterior angles are broadly red ; the 

 extremities appear not to vary in hue. 



Detected by Mr. H. Squire among a number of unset and 

 unexamined Coleoptera collected by Mr. F. Smith near Deal 

 in the autumn of last year, in which locality he has subse- 

 quently taken it very sparingly in March and July.
