previously described, Russian species of Carabus, Linn., has been published by M. 

 Chaudoir, in the ' Bulletin of the Nat. Hist. Soc. Moscow,' 1850, pt. 3. 



An important memoir, containing a revision of the genera and species of Harpali- 

 dae forming Dejean's section Patellimanes (Panagasus, Chlaenius, Oodes, &c), has been 

 commenced by the Baron de Laferte-Senectere, (Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. ix. p. 209). 



M. Laferte-Senectere has also continued his descriptions of the Carabidae of Portu- 

 guese Guinea, collected by M. Bocande, in the Rev. Zool. 1851, pp. 81, 221, 427. 



Dr. Coquerel (Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. viii. 529) has published some interesting obser- 

 vations on tbe habits of iEpus Robinii (lately detected by M. Javet in this country). 

 It is never found above high-water mark, and M. Coquerel has searched for it in vain 

 on the shores of the Mediterranean (where there are no tides). Its mode of respiration 

 is similar to that of M. fulvescens. Dr. Coquerel has also added a description and 

 figure of its larva. 



The occurrence of jEpus Robinii in England has been noticed by Mr. Wollaston 

 (Zool. 3090), and that of Bembidium Schuppelii, Dej., in Cumberland, by Mr. Bold, 

 (Ibid. 3289). 



The commencement of an extended memoir by M. Jacquelin Duval, entitled ' De 

 Bembidiis Europaeis,' has appeared in the Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. 1851, (3rd trim.)

 naea Entomologica, v. 



STAPHYLINIDiE. 



M. Doue has described a new Staphylinus (S. Mulsanti) from the South of France, 

 (Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. viii. lv.) 



A dichotomous tabulation of the numerous species of Stenus, with the description 

 of a new species, has been given by M. Leprieur, (Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. ix. 191). 



A new species of Stenus, found near Lille, is described by M. Cussac, (Ann. Soc. 

 Ent. Fr. ix. p. xxix.)

 Stettin 'Zeitung,' p. 227, has been translated by Mr. Douglas (' Proceedings,' p. 105). 



Descriptions by myself of two new species of Cerapterus from Australia, have 

 been published in the Ann. Nat. Hist. vii. 491. 



Clavicornia. 



Three new remarkable exotic genera have been described by myself in our 'Trans- 

 actions' (vol.i. n. s. p. 167), under the names of Paromia Dorcoides (allied to Ips), Cos- 

 syphodes Wollastonii (apparently allied to Bitoma), and Chaetosoma scaritides (allied 

 to Trogosita).
