14 BULLETIN OP THE BROOKLYN ENT. SOC. 



The larvae of Carabus, Calosoma, Cychrus, Chlaenius, Dicaelus, 

 G-alerita, Badister, Liciiius, Panagaeus, etc., have the head very- 

 small, at least narrower than the body, while larvae of other spe- 

 cies have the head as broad as the body e. g. Harpalns, Pogonus, 

 Dromins, etc. 



The abdominal segment has usually a pair of conical, bristly 

 appendages above and a prolongation beneath, which is used as 

 propeller (proleg). Cychrus differs from other carabidous larvae 

 by having the pygidium instead of with two such appendages, 

 strongly four toothed. 



The larvae live under stones, rotten leaves and wood, and in the 

 earth, in the same obscure places as the imagines, but are very 

 seldom seen Some, as Amara are double-brooded (according to 

 Zimmermann), other hibernate in the larva or pupa state. 



The pupae are white, with the legs free, not concealed in a case, 

 and make trembling motions with them, when touched or sprin- 

 kled with water. Some remain but a very short time in the pu- 

 pa state, from five to ten days. See Bull. I. 44. 



Calosoma calidum, Fab. Riley gives a figure of the larva 

 in Report U. S. Ent. Comm. 1877, p. 314. 



Calosoma scrutator, Fab. Chapnis et Candeze Cat- 

 alogue des Larves etc., p. 371. Color dirty yellow ; the 

 4f corneous scutes above blackish brown, beneath lighter 

 brown see fig. 



Galerita Liecontei, Dej. Salle. Ann. France VII. 

 298, Chapuis et Candeze 1. c. 367. Head rufous, body 

 black. The figure reproduced by Packard, Guide p. 433, 

 is much exaggerated, but still recognizable. 

 Galerita janus, Fab. H. Gr. Hubbard, Psyche I. 49. 

 Head rufous, body black, legs and anal appendages light brown. 

 I found this larvae very slender and active, in July and August, 



15 mm. long with the apical appendages of the same length ; 

 they remain in the pupa state eleven days. The figure given in 

 Packard's Guide p. 713 is not very good, but not every one can 

 furnish such excellent engravings of the larvae as Schioedte does 

 1. c, which are really the best I ever saw. 



Dicaelus costatus or splendidus. Horn, Trans. Am. Ent. 

 Soc. I. 43. Head reddish yellow, body dark greenish blue semi- 

 opaque, the ventral segments have each seven semicorneous plates. 



Length 22 mm.
