ORDER COLEOPTERA. 233 



The others, and the labrum of which is always divided 

 into two or three lobes, have the anterior tarsi very sensibly 

 dilated in the males. 



These are never winged ; their mandibles are smooth, and 

 one or two teeth have been remarked at their base, or at least 

 at the base of one of them. The corslet is in the form of a 

 truncated heart, subisometrical, or more long than broad. 

 The abdomen is ovaliform. 



Procrustes, Bonn. 



The labrum of which is tribolate, and the tooth of the 

 emargination of the chin is bifid. — Carahus coi-iaceiis. Fab. 

 Panz. Faun. Insect. Germ. LXXXI. 1. See second vol. of 

 the Spec, of Count Dejean, n 26, and following. 



Carabus, Lin. Fab. Tachijpus, Web. 



In which the labrum is simply emarginated or bilobate, 

 and of which the tooth of the emargination of the chin is 

 entire. 



M. le Comte Dejean has described one hundred and twenty- 

 four, which he has distributed into sixteen divisions. The 

 first thirteen comprehend those whose elytra are convex or 

 gibbous, and the last three those in which they are plain, and 

 of which M. Fischer forms two genera, plecfes and cechemis^ 

 founded on the relative proportions of the head and corslet.*
