HARPALIDiE. HARPALU&'. 145 



Common on the coasts of Glamorganshire, and near Southend, 

 beneath rejectamenta.

 (Long. corp. 3^ Kn.) 



Ha. femoralis mihi. — Steph. Catal. p. 30. No. 258. 



Deep glossy black : thorax with a smooth rather elongate impression on each 

 side at the base ; the dorsal channel rather deep posteriorly : elytra rather 

 deeply striated^ the strife impunctate, the margin with a distinctly interrupted 

 series of impressions : the legs deep pitchy-black, the hinder thighs elongated : 

 antennae pitchy-brown : palpi rufous, with the base of the joints black. 



Taken near Swansea ; probably a variety of the foregoing. 



Sp. 12. coracinus ? Piceo-brunneus, thorace postice transverse impresso, utrinque 

 striold sublcBvi unicd, antennis pedibusque rufo-piceis. (Long. corp. 3^ — 44; Kn.) 

 Ha. coracinus. Sturm ? — Steph. Catal. p. 30. No. 259. 



Pitchy-brown : thorax behind with a transverse impression, terminating on each 

 side in a somewhat smooth striola ; the lateral margins and hinder angles rufo- 

 ferruginous: elytra pitchy-brown, inclining to castaneous, slightly striated^ 

 the striae impunctate, an obsoletely continuous series of impressions on the 

 margin : legs pitchy-brown, tarsi and claws a little rufescent : antennae and 

 palpi rufo-piceous, or fulvous. 



I am not certain whether this be the Ha. coracinus of Sturm ; it is the Ha. mari- 

 timus of Mr. Kirby, and may probably be a mere variety (or racher immature 

 state) of Ha. anxius. 



Taken on the coasts of Suffolk, Norfolk, and Essex. 



Sp. 13. flaviventris ? Supra piceo-brunneus, subtus antennis palpis pedibusque 

 Jlavo-testaceis, thorace postice striold suhpunctatd impresso. (Long. corp. 

 3^—4 hn.) 

 Ha. flaviventris. Sturm ? — Steph. Catal. p. 30. No. 260. 



Above pitchy-brown, beneath pale yellowish testaceous : thorax as in Ha. anxius : 

 elytra slightly striated, the margin with an interrupted series of impressions : 

 legs very pale yellowish testaceous : palpi and antennae the same, the latter 

 dusky at the tip. 



I have a pair of this species from the shores of the Severn, and 

 one specimen which was taken on those of the Thames near 

 Gravesend. 



**• With the bodjj broad, much depressed: thorax very broad. 



Sp. 14. thoracicus. Plate VIH. f. 3. — Niger nitidus, thorace latissimo ca;ru~ 

 lescente postice rugoso-punctato : elytris striatis, apicibus punctis impressis 

 ornatis, antennis fuJvis hasi pallidiore. (Long. corp. 5^ — 6 lin.) 



Ha. thoracicus. Leach MSS.—Sieph. Catal. p. 30. No. 261.
