In Mr. Bold's examples, the legs are more testaceous than mine 

 but they do not come up to the bright colour observable in con- 

 tinental specimens. The same remark is applicable to British 

 specimens of Philonthus fulvipes, and Ph. inquinatus, Kirby {Ph. 

 rubidus, Erich.), in which the legs and the base of the antennae 

 are usually duskier than descriptions would lead us to expect
