148 MANDIBULATA. — COLEOPTERA. 



Closely allied to the last, but differs in being of a deep rich glossy blue, with the 

 thorax very obsoletely striated behind, and the foveae nearly evanescent : the 

 elytra rather faintly and simply striated ; the third interstice from the margin 

 vpith three slightly impressed dots only ; the margin obsoletely punctate. 



The above appears to agree with Sturm's Ha. azureus, but the concise definition 

 given by Fabricius to his Ca. azureus will equally suit many other Harpalidae. 



Taken at Coombe, Hertford, &e., and other places within the 

 metropolitan district ; also in Norfolk. 



Sp. 19. chloropterus. Subelongatus, niger supra virescens, elytris viridilus, in- 

 terstitio tertio a margine punctis quinque impresso, antennis, palpis, pedibusque 

 rufo-testaceis. (Long. corp. 4^ lin.) 



Ha. chloropterus. Kirby MSS.—Steph. Catal. p. 30. N'o. 267. 



Similar to Ha. rubripes, but rather narrower and more elongate: the colour 

 different, being of a bright green and very shining: elytra with impunctate 

 striae ; the third interstice from the margin with about five impressions at its 

 tip, the fifth with two : the legs and palpi rufo-testaceous. 



Is this merely a variety of the last ? 



Found, but rarely, near London, in Suffolk, &c. 



Sp. 20. marginellus. Latus, subconvexus, niger nitidus, thorace eJytrisque sub- 

 violaceo nitentibus, elytrorum interstitio tertio a margine punctis phiriviis im- 

 presso, margine laterali thoracis, antennis, pedibusque fulvis. (Long. corp. 

 4^—5 lin.) 



Ha. marginellus. Ziegler. — Steph. Catal. p. 30. No. 269. 



More convex and broader than the preceding : deep glossy black : the thorax and 

 elytra a little tinted with violet, particularly the former, which is impunctate, 

 and has a fovea on each side at the base, a faint dorsal hne, and the lateral 

 margins fulvous : the elytra are similar to those of the foregoing, but rather 

 more convex, and very slightly tinted with violet or greenish, and the third 

 interstice from the margin has about seven or eight impressions at the apex : 

 the antennae, palpi, and legs are fulvous. 



The above agrees with specimens sent to Dr. Leach by M. De Jean as the Ha. 

 marginellus of Ziegler. Gyllenhal unites it with Ha. rubripes. 



Near London, Ipswich, and Swansea. 



Sp. 21. fulvipes. Subelongatus pauld depressus, piceo-niger, elytrorum inter- 

 stitio tertio a margine subpunctato, antennis pedibusque fulvis. (Long. corp. 

 4^—5 lin.) 



Ha. fulvipes. Sturm.— Steph. Catal. p. 30, No. 272. 



More elongate and depressed than the last, above entirely glossy pitchy-black ; 

 the female a little obsoletely tinted with greenish : the thorax is smooth, witli 

 t?ie base near the hinder angles a little punctate, and having a slightly rugose 

 fovea ; the dorsal channel rather deep : elytra rather deeply striated, the third 

 interstice from the margin with several rather obsolete impressions, and the 

 margin thickly punctate at the tip : the antennae and legs are bright fulvous.
