Rather more parallel than Cisteloides, pitchy black, very 

 shining, sometimes with a greenish tinge on the elytra of the $, 

 dull pitchy black in the ? . Thorax with its margins reddish, 

 disk smooth, dorsal furrow interrupted before and behind, base 

 smooth and with an obsolete impunctate fovea on each side. 

 Elytra finely striated, the third interstice with two impressions 

 only and none on the fifth, which character serves at once to 

 distinguish it from Cisteloides ; palpi, antennse and legs red. 

 Length 4-5 lines. 



This insect appears to be the Buprestis flavipes of Fourcroy's 

 work. The Carabus flavipes of PaykulFs monograph can scarcely 

 (judging from the description) be reconciled with it. 



It is abundant in sandy districts. 



4. C.fuscus: alatus, fusco-piceus ; thorace subquadrato, utrinque 

 obsolete impresso, angulis posticis acutis ; elytris subtiliter 

 striatis, punctis duobus impressis ; antennis pedibusque 

 testaceis.

Much broader than any of the preceding and entirely fuscous 

 brown, with the margins of the thorax, the palpi, antennae and 

 legs livid testaceous. Head smooth and convex, with an impres- 

 sion on each side between the eyes. Thorax subquadrate, 

 narrowed in front, broad and straight behind, with the posterior 

 angles slightly acute, disk with a deep central line, transversely 

 wrinkled, and a very broad slightly impressed fovea on each 

 side at the base. Elytra ovate, broader than the thorax, sides 

 regularly rounded, finely striated, with two impressed dots 

 between the second and third striae and the usual series on the 

 margin. Length 4^-5 lines.
