92 THE REV. F. W. HOPE’S CHARACTERS AND DESCRIPTIONS OF 
of its general structure. Its situation appears to be between Cymindis, Lat., and Plo- 
chionus, Dej. It agrees with both those genera in the penultimate joint of the tarsi 
being destitute of lobes ; and differs from both by having its claws toothless. In other 
respects the characters of Aploa are very similar to those of Lebia, Lat. 
APLOA PICTA.

The only Calosoma allied to the present is Cal. chlorostictum, Klug, a species which 
is found in Egypt, and which has been confounded by the Baron Dejean with Cal. ru- 
gosum, an insect common at the Cape of Good Hope. 
Cal. Chinense, Kirb., and Cal. Indicum, Hope, are, I believe, the only Indian species 
hitherto described. The latter occurs in the collection of Major-General Hardwicke.
