218 CLASS INSECTA. 



Cephalotes, Bon. Broscus. Panz. 



Have antenna? whose length equals, for the most part, the 

 half of that of the body, composed of short articulations, 

 and the first of which is shorter than the two following taken 

 together. The right mandible is strongly unidentated at 

 the internal edge, and the labrum is entire. {Carabiis Cepha- 

 lotes, Fab. Panz. Faun, Insect, Germ. LXXXIII., i. Ind. 

 Ent. p. 62.) 



Stomis, Clairv. 



In which the antennae are longer than one half of the body, 

 composed of elongated articulations, and of which the first 

 is longer than the two following joined together. The right 

 mandible presents towards the middle of its internal side 

 a strong notch, and the labrum of which is emarginated. 

 Stomis puinicatus. Clairv. Entom. Helv. II. vi. 

 The following sub-genus, that of 



Catascopus, Kirb. 



Is distinguished from the preceding two, to which it other- 

 wise approximates by the relative length of the third articu- 

 lation of the antennas, in that the body is flatted, propor- 

 tionally broader, with the corslet shorter, the elytra strongly 

 emai'ginated laterally at their posterior extremity, and the 

 labrum is elongated. The eyes are large and projecting. 

 These insects have brilliant colours, and resemble at the 

 first aspect, the cicindelae and elaphri.* 



• This sub-genus has been established by Mr. Kirby, on a species of Cara- 

 biis, {Catascopus Hardivickii, hin. Trans. XIV. iii. i. Hist. Nat. des Coleop. 

 d'Europe, II. vii, 8 ) of the East Indies, havine the head and corslet green, 

 the elytra of a greenish blue, with punctuated striae, and the under part 

 of the body almost blackish. Mr. Macleay (Annal. Jav. LT. p 14.) places 

 the catascopi in his family of Harpalidse, after Chlenius, and refers to it
