occurs generally in temperate Europe. E. flavicornis differs 

 in having the elytra entirely black, and occurs in company 

 with it. 



2. E. Ihoracicus, 01. — 1^ line. Black; thorax red; elytra 

 greenish blue. Also in Leach's collection. Found in Cen- 

 tral Europe, but not occurring in Sweden. 



Hypeb^us, Ksw. 



A genus separated from Ebaeus, on account of the simple 

 tarsi. 



One species— H. flavipes — is found in Sweden and Ger- 

 many : it has the base of the antennce and the front legs 

 yellow. The elytra in the male have the apex broadly pallid. 



Charopus. 



A genus defined by certain recondite characters, but gene- 

 rally known by the simple tarsi and spinose apex to the elytra 

 in the male. 



One species — C. flavipes, Ksw. — is common over Sweden 

 and Germany : it is of a greenish black, and has the base of 

 the antennae, the anterior tibiie and tarsi testaceous. The 

 nomenclature of this and the preceding species is very con- 

 fused. The name flavipes was first given by Fabricius, in 

 ]787, which effectually precludes the adoption of Paykull's 

 name for this species, given in 1798. Erichson identified it 

 with pallipes, Olir., but erroneously ; hence the only name 

 left to adopt would be rotundata (Geq^r.), Fourc. 1787, 

 which appears to belong to it, though the description is very 

 incomplete.
