  Carolina. 
  Very 
  similar

  the 
  preceding,

   smaller 
  : 
  the 
  narrower 
  and 
  less 
  rounded 
  thorax 
  and 
  the 
  narrower 
  elytra 
  induce 
  me 
  to 
  

   consider 
  it 
  as 
  a 
  separate 
  species. 
  The 
  sexual 
  characters 
  are 
  precisely 
  as 
  in 
  C.

   The 
  posterior 
  one 
  of 
  the 
  three 
  oblique 
  lines 
  of 
  the 
  elytra 
  is 
  frequently 
  connected 
  with 
  the 
  

   suture.

  Sea 
  shore 
  of 
  the 
  Gulf 
  of 
  Mexico 
  (Texas, 
  Louisiana, 
  Florida:) 
  the 
  variety 
  was 
  found 
  at 
  

   Key 
  West, 
  by 
  Dr. 
  W. 
  L. 
  Jones. 
  This 
  species 
  is 
  also 
  very 
  closely 
  related 
  to 
  the 
  two 
  pre- 
  

   ceding, 
  and 
  except 
  by 
  the 
  difference 
  in 
  size 
  and 
  in 
  the 
  form 
  of 
  the 
  inferior 
  tooth 
  of 
  the 
  

   right 
  mandible 
  of 
  the 
  male, 
  is 
  hardly 
  separated 
  from 
  C. 
  dorsalis. 
  The 
  elytra 
  are 
  however 
  

   narrower 
  in 
  both 
  sexes, 
  and 
  the 
  thorax 
  is 
  somewhat 
  longer 
  and 
  less 
  rounded 
  on 
  the 
  sides. 
  

   The 
  bronze 
  markings 
  of 
  the 
  elytra 
  are 
  usually 
  much 
  broader, 
  and 
  the 
  posterior 
  one 
  is 
  

   frequently 
  lobed. 
  

  

  GROUP 
  XII. 
  

  

  Maritime, 
  salt 
  marsh, 
  or 
  fluviatile 
  species, 
  having 
  the 
  right 
  mandible 
  of 
  the 
  male 
  some- 
  

   times 
  toothed 
  near 
  the 
  tip, 
  as 
  in 
  the 
  preceding 
  group, 
  but 
  sometimes, 
  (form 
  2,) 
  normal.
