294 CLASS INSECTA. 



Staphylinus riparkis, Panz. Faun. Insect. Germ. IX. ii, 

 about three lines in length, very narrow, and very elongated, 

 fawn-coloured, with the head, chest, upper extremity of the 

 abdomen and knees black ; elytra blue. Very common in 

 the humid sand, under stones, at the root of trees, &c. 



The others, Stilichus, Lat., have all the articulations of 

 the tarsi entire. {See Lat. Gen. Crust, et Insect. I, page 

 290, et seq., and Gyllen. Insect. Suec. I. Part 2, p. 372.) 



Ev.ESTHETUs, Grav., 



Whose antennae are likewise inserted in front of the eyes, but 

 little longer than the head, and almost entirely moniliform. 

 The body is but little elongated, with the head as broad as 

 the corslet. {Evoesthetus Scaber, Grav. Germ. Faun. In- 

 sect. Europ. VII. 13. Gyllen. Insect. Suec. I, Part II., 

 p. 461. M. Blondel (the son), of Versailles, has discovered 

 a new species in the environs of that town.) 



Stenus, Lat., 



In which the antennas inserted near the internal edg-e of the 

 eyes are terminated by a club of three articulations. They 

 have the extremity of the mandibles forked, and large eyes. 



Staphylinus — 2-gidtatus, Lin. Panz. Faun. Insect. Germ. 

 XI. 18. Two lines in length, altogether black, with a red- 

 dish point on each case.* 



The third section, that of Denticrura, differs from the 

 preceding in the maxillary palpi, which are much shorter 



has appeared to me emarginated or bifid. I shall designate this genus by 

 the denomination of procirnis, and this species shall be consecrated to 

 the zealous naturalist (Lefeburi) who has discovered it.
