An Lebia marginalis, Wiedemann Zool. Mag. Band. 2. s. 1. p. 60? 
Long. corp. w 
Insectum omnino splendidulum ecorpore subangusto. Caput rufum clypeo inter antennas fossulato, labro 
magno quadrato, mandibulis latis inermibus apice acutis. Mentum lobis latis sed maxillarum basin 
haud tegentibus. Antenne articulo tertio brevissimo. Thorax truncato-obcordatus rufus medio 
canaliculato. Scutelldwm inconspicuum rufum. Elytra abbreviata abrupté truncata pulcherrima. 
Corpus subtus nitidissimum rufum. Pedes rufi. 
Oss. This species comes so near to a Bengal insect described by Wiedemann as Z. marginalis, 
that [ must leave the separation of them to the entomologist who may have it in his power to 
examine both. 
Subgenus ORTHOGONIUS Dej. 
Antenne breves crassiuscule. 
Labrum transverso-quadratum, antice emarginatum lobis rotundatis, singulo setis tribus 
autice instructo. ? 
Mandihule inzequales, subtrigone, late, superne convex, angulata, subtus concave, basi 
subdenticulatz, apice acutissime incurve. 
Macille sinuate apice latiores, latere interno membranaceo ciliato haud spinuloso vel 
setoso, processu dorsali articulo ultimo oblongo tenui ovato vel fusiformi; dorso pone 
palpos duobus tuberculis setigeris instructo. 
Palpi maxillares articulo primo brevissimo, secundo maximo crasso obconico subincurvo, 
tertio obconico, quarto conico, his duobus quasi articulum unum oblongum ovatum 
formantibus, ultimo tertio breviore. 
Palpi labiales articulo basilari (labii stipiti affixo) brevissimo lato, articulo secundo brevi ob- 
conico vix subgloboso, tertio obconico preecedentibus simul sumptis longiore, quarto 
preecedente breviore subconico vel potius subulato. 
Lalium angustum subcylindricum apice clavatum setis duabus instructum. Paraglosse 
labio haud longiores late angulis rotundatis membranaceis ; Stipes labii magnus semicir- 
cularis menti sinum fere implens. 
Mentum sinu edentulo seta utrinque instructo angulisque acutis. 
Caput facie antic setis sex instructaé. Pedes unguibus subtus denticulatis tarsorumque 
articulo penultimo bilobato. 
Oxs. As M. Dejean has assigned a name to this subgenus in a manuscript catalogue, I have 
thought proper to adopt it, although the genus is now for the first time characterized. It agrees 
with the three former genera in having the ungues of the tarsi denticulated beneath, and the 
elytra subtruncated at the apex ; but in most other respects of external appearance it differs 
widely from the Brachinide in general. It has the habit of a Nebria, and possibly approaches 
to this genus or to Blethisa in affinity. Judging from the ciliated membranaceous maxilla, 
I suspect that this genus is not very carnivorous in its habits.
