the earth. The C. bicolor of Fabricius, and some other 

 American species whose body is elongated, less arched above, 

 or almost straight, with the antennae shorter, have appeared 

 to Dr. Leach proper to compose a new generic section. 



N. B. The cebriones fuscus and rujicollis, of Fabricius, 

 have the form of the species Avhich he calls g'lgas. M. Le- 

 fevre refers the second to Sicily. The cehrio femoratus of 

 M. Germar, does not belong to the genus Anelastes of Mr. 

 Kirby, as I had formerly suspected. 



Here the prajsternum is not prolonged remarkably into a 

 point, and the mesosternum presents anteriorly no cavity. 



Sometimes all the articulations of the tarsi are entire, and 

 without any membranous palette advanced underneath. 



Anelastes, Kirby, 



Whose antennae are separated at their origin, short, almost 

 grained, with the last articulation almost in the form of a 

 crescent. The third is longer than the preceding and fol- 

 lowing, while in the cebriones this articulation and the second 

 are shorteir than the fourth and following ones. These organs, 

 as well as in the elaterides, seem to have twelve articulations, 

 the eleventh being abruptly attenuated towards the end, and 

 terminating in a point, having the appearance of a small 

 conical and triangular articulation. The last articulation of 

 the palpi in the Anelastes, is almost in the form of an in- 

 verted cone. M. Kirby mentions but a single species. {A. 

 Druriif Lin. Trans. XII. xxi. 2.) 



Calliehipis, Lat., 



Whose antennae are very approximated at their origin, in- 

 serted on an eminence, and from the third articulation, form 

 in the males a large fan. The last of the palpi is ovoid. 

 The same of the tarsi is almost as long; as the others taken
