!220 CLASS INSECTA. 



body is a little convex. He cites but a single species — 

 {Brunneus). 



In those all the articulations of the tarsi of the two sexes 

 are entire. 



(MottMOLYCE, Hegemb.) 



The body is very much flatted, foliaceous, and much 

 more narrow in its anterior moiety. The head is very long, 

 very narrow, and almost cylindrical. The corslet is ovali- 

 form, and truncated at the two ends. The elytra are very 

 much dilated, and arched externally, with a profound emar- 

 gination at the internal side, near their extremity. 



The only species knoAvn (Phyllodes) has been the object 

 of a particular monograph, published by M. Hagembach, 

 and is found in Java. 



Sphodiius, Clairv. Bon. Lcemosthenus, Bon. Carabus, Lin. 



Have the body depressed, but not foliaceous, with the 

 head ovoid, the corslet in the form of a heart, and the elytra 

 without external dilatation or internal emargination. 



Many of these insects abide in cellars.* 



The last of the simplicimani are distinguished from all 

 the others, by the internal denticulations of the crotchets of 

 the end of their tarsi. 



Some have all their external palpi filiform, and the corslet 

 either in the form of a heart, narrowed and truncated pos- 

 teriorly, or in that of a trapezium, widening from front to 

 rear.

 lations, as in the following sub-genus.
