88 MODERN CLASSIFICATION OF INSECTS. 



in the same situations near Berwick-upon-Tweed. It has also been 

 found on other parts of our coast. 



Division 3. The species of Mr. Stephen's genus TrimorjjJms (both 

 of which are found near London) are nearly allied to Badister, with 

 which they are united by the French authors. They are also appa- 

 rently allied to Stenolophus ; indeed Mr. Curtis considers S. conspu- 

 tus Stejjh. to be a Trimorphus. Their relationship with Domius ap- 

 pears to be very slight. Mr. Stephens appears to have mistaken the 

 yellow membranous unnotched clypeus for the labrum, which, upon dis- 

 section, I find to be very minute and deeply notched. The terminal 

 joint of the maxillary palpi is but little longer than the preceding, 

 and, as well as the labial palpi, is terminated by an inflated membrane, 

 which gives them the appearance of being obliquely truncate. 



The genera Chlcenins and Eponiis are of great extent, being found 

 in all quarters of the globe. They are elegant insects, having the 

 upper surface of a silky green colour, bordered with a narrow yellow 

 margin. 



Amongst the exotic genera of this subfamily the most remarkable are 

 a genus for which I propose the name of Campylocnemis (Hyperion * 

 Lajjorte), and having for its type the large Australian insect, Scarites 

 Schrceteri Screib., Linn. Trans, vol. iii., and which is placed by Laporte 

 between Stomis and Poecillus. Having recently dissected this insect, 

 I agree with M. Laporte in the propriety of its removal from the 

 Scaritides, but regard it as more nearly allied to Omaseus and Cata- 

 dromus. M. Brulle has regarded it as a subgenus of Moriof, but in 

 the smaller size of the mentum (which in Morio occupies the entire of 

 the under side of the front of the head and covers the maxilla;) and 

 the strongly toothed mandibles, it is quite unlike that genus. 



The French genus Gynandromorphus D(j. {Car. Etruscus Sch. 

 Sturm., D. F. tab. 93. c.) is remarkable for having the anterior tarsi 

 in the females very much dilated, a character only observable in 

 another Carabideous genus, Gynandropus, from North America. 



The interesting geims Catascopus of Kirby, Linn. Trans, vol. xiv., 

 somewhat at first sight resembles a large Bembidium or Elaphrus, but 

 its real affinity is considered by Mr. Kirby to be towards the Harpa- 

 lides. It is regarded by some French authors as belonging to the 



* INIr. MacLeay has described another Carabideous genus in the Annulosa Java- 

 iiica, under the name of HyphcTrion. 



•f An aberrant genus of the Scaritides, but possessing the dilated anterior tarsi ; 

 so that it ought, probably, to be considered as belonging to the Harpalides.
