at Copenhagen. 
No one, so far as I know, has commented on this species 
since it was first described. I had no suspicion that the 
genus would prove to be Scapterus, and did not therefore 
take any specimens for comparison. I have, however, 
since sent to Copenhagen a specimen of the genus, which 
Tidentify with S. sulcatus Putz., but Mr. Henriksen informs 
me that, as I expected, it does not quite agree with the 
Fabrician type. This latter is 13 mm. in length; the 
tubercle on the head is short and distinct, the vertex being 
smooth behind it, the sides moderately and rather vaguely 
striate; the prothorax is quite smooth, with parallel sides, 
the front angles porrect and a faint round fovea on each 
side at base; the elytra are short, nearly parallel, hardly 
sulcate, but with strongly punctured striae. The species is 
evidently near S. guerint Dej. (Spec. Gen. 11, 1826, 472), 
of which I have seen the type, but differs in several par- 
ticulars. I do not know S. riparius Gestro, or S. figuloides 
Gestro (Ann. Mus. Civ. Gen. 1882, 299 and 301), but from 
the descriptions I do not think either of them conforms 
to Fabricius’ species. It is to be hoped that further 
material will come to hand of this curious and scarce genus. 
16. Nebria (Carabus) lateralis, p. 134. (Daldorff.) Type 
in Kiel University Museum. 
A race of the common WN. livida L., which extends as far 
Kast as Japan. 
17. Zuphium (Carabus) olens, p. 139. (Bosc.) The type 
appears to be lost. 
Originally described by Rossi (Faun. Htruse. i, 1790, 
217, t. 5, f. 2) from Italy. The specimen which served 
Fabricius for his description should be in the Paris Museum, 
but Mr. Lesne tells me that it cannot be found. ‘The species 
is widely spread over the Mediterranean basin. and in 
Southern Asia, and references to it are numerous in ento- 
mological literature.
