guttatus and patruelis type, which are regularly shagreened), in 

 conjunction with its brassy-black hue^ dull and suffused sub- 

 humeral patch, most obscurely striated elytra, and its rather 

 short, slender, and very pallid limbs, will readily characterize it. 

 I have seen six specimens of it in the collection of Mr. Fry, 

 which wei-e taken by himself at St. Vincent, during the month 

 of October, " under grass." 



Genus Platytarus. 



Leon Fairmaire, Ann. de la Soc. Ent. de France (2 serie), viii. 

 Bull. xvii. (1850). 



4. Platxjtarus Faminii, Dej. 



Cymindis Faminii, Dej., Spec. Gen. des Col. ii. 447 (1826). 

 , Le'on Fairm., Faun, Ent. Fran?. 33 (1854). 



After examining carefully five specimens of this insect, which 

 were captured by Mr, Fry " under grass" at St. Vincent during 

 the month of Octobei', I can see nothing whatever to warrant 

 their separation from the European P. Faminii of Mediterranean 

 latitudes, occurring in Sicily, the south of France, Spain, &c. 

 One would have rather anticipated a priori that they would be 

 referable to the nearly allied P. mauritanica from the north of 

 Africa, or to another species (closely resembling it) which I 

 possess from Egypt ; but such, nevertheless, does not appear to 

 be the case. 



Genus Calosoma. 



Weber, Observat, Entom. 20 (1801). 



5. Calosoma Senegalense, Dej. 

 Calosoma Senegalense, Dej., Spec. Gen. des Col, v, 562 (1831). 



Two specimens (male and female) of this fine Calosoma have 

 been communicated by Mr, Fry, who took them at St. Vincent, 

 " under loose grass," in the month of October. They agree ex- 

 actly with the C. Senegalense found on the opposite coast of Africa. 



6. Calosoma imhricatum, Klug. 



Calosoma imbricatum, Klug, Symb. Phys. iii, pi. 23. f. 1 1 (1830), 



Likewise captured by Mr. Fry, and in the same locality as the 



last species. Two specimens (male and female) which he has 



kindly lent me for comparison agree precisely with a type of 



tlie C. imbi'icatum, from Cape Verd, given me by M. Jekel. 



7. Calosoma Madera, Fab. 



Carabus Maderce, Fab., Syst. Eut. 237 (1775), 



Indagator, Fab., Mant. Ins. i. 197 (1787). 



Calosoma Indagator, Dej., Spec. Gen. des Col. ii. 205 (1826), 

 Madera;, Woll., Ins. Mad. 15 (1854), 



Two specimens of this insect which were captured by Mr. Fry
