 " elongatus. 



'3 p. tenuis. — Elongatus, niger nitidus, thorace capite vix latiore, latitudine parum 

 breviore, quadrato, postice leviter angustato, lateribus pone, medium sinuatis, angulis 

 posticis rectis prominulis, basi utrinque profunde impresso, bistriato, punctatoque : 

 elytris tenue striato-punctatis, interstitio 3'° 3-punctato ; palpis pedibusque rufo-piceis. 

 Long. -32, lat. •14. Readily known by its narrow form : the head is constricted and 

 punctured behind the eyes : the elytral striaj are fainter towards the apex, which is not 

 at all sinuate. 



i* I have merged into Amara the group Celia (Zim.), as it differs from the typical 

 species neither in habitus nor characters, the sole ground for separation being a sexual 

 character of slight import. I have also replaced in the genus, Zabrus avidus (Say) as 

 it has not the characters of Bradytus, (to which I formerly referred it), the tibia3 being 

 alike in both sexes. 



'5 I have a specimen which agrees perfectly with Dejean's description, but the thorax 

 is more narrowed behind than in the figure (Icon. Col. Eur. 3, pi. 170, fig. 2.) No 

 opportunity for direct comparison has yet occurred. The species is totally distinct 

 from the two described by me in the 4"' vol. of the Annals of the Lyceum. 



'® C. elongatus. — Elongatus, gracilis, rufo-piceus nitidus, thorace quadrato, latitudine 

 non breviore, antice subangustato, lateribus rotundato, angulis posticis subrectis, non 

 rotundatis, basi utrinque bistriato leviterque punctato, elytris thorace latioribus, tenui- 

 ter striatis, striis ad basin leviter punctatis. Long. '4. <J with the intermediate tibije 

 strongly bidentate, the mentum tooth narrowed in front and deeply impressed.
