COLEOPTERA. 395 



Anchomenus, Bon.*{a) 



There, the inferior surface of the tarsial palette is furnished with 

 a compact and continuous brush. The exterior palpi, those of the 

 labium in particular, are terminated in several by a thicker or wider 

 joint in the form of a reversed triangle. 



We will commence with those in which they are filiform. 



Callistcs, Bon. 

 The tooth in the emargination of the mentum entire ; exterior palpi 

 terminated by an oval joint pointed at the end; thorax in the form of 

 a truncated heart f. 



OoDEs, Bon. 



Similar to Callistus in the tooth of the emargination of the mentum, 

 but the last joint of the external maxillary palpi is cylindrical, while 

 that of those attached to the labium forms a truncated oval. The 

 thorax is trapezoidal, narrower before, and as wide posteriorly as the 

 base of the abdomen :{:. 



Chl.enius, Bon. 



Tooth of the emargination of the mentum bifid ; exterior maxil- 

 lary palpi terminated by an almost cylindrical joint, somewhat smaller 

 at base ; last joint of the labial palpi in the form of a reversed and 

 elongated cone. 



The Carabe savonnier of Olivier, Col. Ill, 38, iii, 26, which 

 is used in Senegal in lieu of soap, belongs to this subgenus §. 

 In the following, the exterior palpi are terminated by a wider, com- 

 pressed joint, in the form of a reversed triangle or securiform, and 

 more dilated in the males. The tooth of the emargination of the 

 mentum is always bifid. 



Epomis, Bon. 

 To which we will unite the Dinodes, in which the last joint of the 

 palpi is somewhat more dilated ||.
