CARABID.E. HARPALUS. 143 



honestus. I have seen a pair, however, in the collection of 

 Mr. Curtis, which perfectly correspond with the description and 

 figure given by Sturm of this insect. 



16. H. luteicornis : oblongo-ovatus, niger ; thorace quadrato, 



postice utrinque leviter unistriato obsoleteque punctulato, 

 angulis posticis rectis ; elytris striatis, ante apicem leviter 

 emarginatis ; ore antennis tarsisque rufo-testaceis.

H. servus, Steph. Maud. 1. 152, et Manual, p. 44. 



Black or pitchy black, sometimes with the margins of the tho- 

 rax narrowly edged with red. Head smooth, mouth, palpi and 

 antennae entirely reddish testaceous. Thorax quadrate, rather 

 convex, rounded at the angles before the middle, the posterior 

 angles right angles, the base with an oblong impression on each 

 side touching the posterior margin, in which are a few obsolete 

 punctures, and the disk with the usual dorsal furrow. Elytra 

 about the width of the thorax, sides rather straight or very little 

 rounded, narrowed behind and with the margin very slender just 

 before the apex, disk convex, simply striated ; femora blackish, 

 tibias and tarsi red, the latter sometimes palest. Length 3 lines. 



Of the two individuals contained in the Stephensian collection, 

 standing incorrectly under the name servus, one appears to cor- 

 respond with this species and the other with sulphuripes, but 

 neither of them have anything in common with the true servus 3 

 Sturm. There are two other examples in Mr. Curtis's cabinet 

 and two or three in the National Collection, which will likewise, 

 I believe, be found to accord with it, besides the examples which 

 may exist in private collections. The insect is found very 

 sparingly in sandy districts in the south. 



17. H. attenuates : oblong o-ovatus, nigro-piceus ; thorace sub- 



quadratOj postice subangustato, utrinque profunde foveo- 

 lato, foveis punctatis, angulis posticis rectis; elytris striatis ; 

 antennis tibiis tarsisque rufis. 



Steph. Mand. 1. 152, et Manual, p. 44. 



H. consentaneus, Dej. Spec. 4. 302; Icon. 4. 166. pi. 189. 



H. picilabris, Steph. Mand. 5. 381, et Manual, p. 43. 



Smaller and narrower than honestus, oblong, pitchy black, or 

 pitchy without any tinge of blue. Head glossy, with two deeper 

 punctures connected by a transverse line between the eyes ; palpi
