124 COLEOPTERA. 



this is not the Car. spinipes, Linne. To the present species 

 its old name, uulicus, 111., must therefore be restored. 



Harpalus obscurus of the English Entomologists is not 

 obscurus, Fab. ( = monticola, Dej.), but rotundicollis, Pairm, 

 (obscurus, Dej.) 



Harp, cribellum. — This name of Stephens is not entitled 

 to priority, as Stephens evidently confounded in his descrip- 

 tion both puncticollis and brevicollis ; the diagnosis refers to 

 one, the description to the other, as is shown by the different 

 expressions with respect to the punctuation of the thorax, in 

 which the difference of the species resides. 



Harpalus cuniculinus. — I do not know what Dawson un- 

 derstands by that name. The true cuniculinus, Dufts., 

 established on a single specimen, is nothing bjjt a small 

 honest us. 



Harpalus atricornis, Steph., Daws. — Mr. Janson in- 

 forms me that this species is founded on a few small specimens 

 of Anisodactylus binotatus, actually existing in the British 

 Museum. 



Harp, liticjiosus. — The H. Wollastoni, Daws., is erro- 

 neously stated to be litigiosus, Dej. ; it is in reality tenebrosus, 

 Dej. ' 



Harp, fuhipes, Fab. — Is Carabus latus, Linne, both of 

 his description and his cabinet. 



Harp, depressus, Dufts. — -As none of the numerous names 

 given to this species has been universally adopted, I have 

 restored to it the oldest, Caspius, under which Steven has 

 well described it. 



Harp, tardus. — The H. lentus, Sturm, does not belong to 

 this species, but to fiavicorrds, Dej., which does not occur in 

 England. 



Harp, vernalis, Fab. — I prefer the name of picipennis,
