144 MANDIBULATA. COLEOPTERA. 



Sp. 7. fuscipalpis. Niger, thorace postice transverse impresso, aniennis bast 

 tibiis tarsisgue rufo-firrugineis, palpis nigris. (Long. corp. 4^ lin.) 



Ha. fuscipalpis. Sturm. — Steph. Catal. p. 29. JVo. 254. 



Like Ha. rufimanus, but discriminated from it and all the foregoing by the 

 following characters : antennae fuscous, with the basal joint fulvous : palpi 

 black : thighs black : tibise and tarsi entirely rufo-ferruginous : the thorax 

 has a transverse impression behind, terminating in a simple foveola : the elytra 

 are simply striated, the marginal stria with a series of impressions. 



Sometimes taken near London. 



** With the body elongated, rather depressed (resemble Amarse). 

 Sp. 8. nigripes. Niger nitidus, antennarum basi palpisque rufo-ferrugineis, 



thorace postice utrinque striold unicd. (Long. corp. 3^ lin.) 

 Ha. nigripes. Sturm. — Sieph. Catal. p. 29. No. 255. 



More elongate and much smaller than any of the foregoing : deep glossy black : 

 thorax with a slender dorsal channel, and a faint transverse posterior de- 

 pression, terminating in a rather elongate simple marginal fovea on each side 

 at the base : elytra simply striated, the margin with a continuous series of im- 

 pressions : legs totally black, with the claws and cilia pitchy : antennae fuscous, 

 with the basal joint rufous : palpi rufous, with the base of the joints dusky. 



Two specimens of this species alone have come under my in- 

 spection ; they were taken by myself near London. 



Sp. 9. piger. Niger, nitidus, antennis rufis nigra maculatis, thorace postice 



utrinque lined tenuS impressd. (Long. corp. 3 — Sg lin.) 

 Ha. piger, Diiftschmid. — Ha. piger. Steph. Catal. p. 29. No. 256. 



Very similar to Ha. nigripes, but rather less : thorax with a delicate impressed 

 line at the base on each side ; the elytra faintly striated, the margin with an 

 obsolete continuous series of impressions : the thighs black : the tibiae and 

 tarsi pitchy-red, the tips of the latter dusky : the antennas ferruginous or 

 piceous, with the base rufous, and some of the articulations black at the base. 



Sometimes taken near London ; also at Southend, but sparingly. 

 " Dorking." — Mr. Watei-house. 



Sp. 10. anxius. Plate VIIL f. 2. — Niger, subovatus palpis antennisque ferru- 

 gineis, pedibus rufo-piceis, thorace postice utrinque impresso subpmctato, 

 angulis posticis subacuminatis. (Long. corp. 3g — 4 lin.) 



Ca. anxius. Diiftschmid. — Ha. anxius. Steph. Catal. p. 29. No. 257. 



Rather larger than the two preceding : body short, ovate : thorax with a slightly 

 punctulate impressed line at the base on each side : elytra sHghtly and simply 

 striated, the outer margin with a somewhat interrupted series of impressions : 

 legs stout, the thighs and tibiae generally black, sometimes piceous, the tarsi 

 generally paler : jDalpi testaceous : antenna; ferruginous. 



The margin of the thorax and its hinder angles are frequently ferruginous, and 

 the base of several of the apical joints of the antennae is often dusky or black.
