The thinner clothing of hairs on the soles of the 

 hinder tarsi prove that the dense clothing is not an essen- 

 tial generic character, this species belonging certainly

 the legs and antennae are tawny testaceous. Some 

 examples are of very slender form, narrower in propor- 

 tion than Calathus SolieH.
