COLEOPTERA. 313 



mities of America, and it is probable that others may be found in 

 the intermediate mountains(l).. 



Of those with a convex and oblong body, the most common 

 is the C. auratus, L. ; Panz. Faun. Insect. Germ., LXXXI, 4, 

 commonly called iht Jardinier. It is about an inch long, golden 

 green above, black underneath; the first jpints of the antennae 

 and the legs fulvous; elytra sulcated, unidentaled on the exterior 

 margin near their extremity, particularly in the female, with 

 three smooth ribs on each. 



This Insect disappears in the south of Europe, or is only 

 found there in the mountains(2). 

 Those are most generally furnished with wings. Their mandi- 

 bles are transversely striated, and without any visible teeth on the 

 internal side. The thorax is transversal, dilated .equally, rounded 

 laterally, and without any prolongation at the posterior angles. The 

 abdomen is almost square. Their exterior palpi are less dilated at 

 the extremity. The maxillae are suddenly curved at the extremity. 

 The second joiiit of the antennae is short, and the third elongated. 

 The four posterior tibia are arcuated in several males.

This genus is much less numerous than the preceding, but the 

 species extend from the North to the Equator. 



(1) Of the species that inhabit North America, we have as yet only discovered 

 the C. Beauvoisi, carinaLus, Lherminier?, Uneatopundatus [serratus, Say), sylvosus 

 and vindus. The mountains of New Hampshire, and Maine particulaily, probably 

 contain several others, and it is to be hoped that some friend of the science, 

 within reach of those localities, will soon enable us to enlarge our catalogue of 

 this interesting- genus. Am. Ed.
