100 MANDIBULATA. — COLEOPTERA. 



Shining black: head emoothj with two transverse impressions between the 

 eyes ; thorax rather depressed, a little obsoletely wrinkled on the disc, with 

 a longitudinal channel and an impunctate fovea at the posterior angle on each 

 side, deep glossy black, with the margin itself pale reddish or flavescent : 

 elytra rather convex, striated, the striae impunctate, with two impressed dots 

 between the second and third : body beneath pitchy-black : legs and antennae 

 light rufous. 



Evidently not, as supposed, the Carabus flavipes of Paykul, of which he says, 

 " elytris quatuor striis punctatis;" though probably the insect which he 

 suspects may be distinct from C. flavipes, and thus notices, — " Unicum indi~ 

 vidium tamen vidi elytris levioribus vix punctatis." 



Found occasionally near Darenth-wood and Cobliam, but more 

 abundantly in Glamorganshire and Devonshire. 



Sp. 6. fuscus. JVigro-piceus, antennis pedibusque pallide ferrugineis, thoracis 



lateribus rufescentibus. (Long. corp. 4 — 4^ lin.) 

 Car. fuscus. Fabricius. — Cal. fuscus. Steph. Catal. p. 20. No. 159. 



Pitchy-black : head smooth, shining, with a fovea on each side between the 

 antennae : thorax rather depressed, the disc pitchy-black, the entire margin 

 ferruginous, a slight longitudinal dorsal channel, and an obsolete impression on 

 each side at the base : elytra shghtly convex, pitchy-black, obsoletely striated, 

 the striae impunctate, with two impressed dots between the second and third 

 from the suture, and a series of small dots on the margin : body beneath 

 pitchy-red : legs and antennae pale ferruginous. 



Allied to the preceding and following, but distinguished from the latter by 

 being apterous, and from the former by its pale colour and the broad ferru- 

 ginous margin of the thorax. 



Found on the sandy shores of North and South Wales, especially 

 the former, whence I have seen scores of specimens, which were 

 captured last season ; and I formerly obtained a pair from L. W. 

 Dillwyn, Esq., F. R. S., &c., who found them on the coast, near 

 Swansea. 



B. With wings. 

 Sp. 7. rufangulus. Plate VI. f. 4. — JVigro-piceus, antennis pedibusque testaceis,

 two obsolete impressions in the third interstice from the suture, and a con- 

 tinuous series on the margin: body beneath pale pitchy-red : legs and antennae
