'S'ja APl'EN'DIX. 



First obtained from Mr. Gibson, who took the insect in tlie neighbourhood ot 

 Halifax ; since from the Rev. W. Little^ who finds tliem not uncommonly in 

 various parts of Scotland : it also occurs in Derbyshire, and on the eastern 

 moors of Yorkshire.

Which is distinguished from Omaseus, which it greatly resembles, by having 

 the body very long and cylindric, the antennas shorter, and the palpi 

 stouter; the species are generally of moderate size, always apterous, and of 

 an exceedingly brilliant black tint : one species only (C. elongatus, page 121 ) 

 occurs in England; but Mr. Curtis, after giving a figure thereof as British, 

 marks it in his Guide with an indication of doubt as to its native origin.

 the neighbourhood of Newcastle.

 The genus Feronia? of the second edition of my Nomenclature, a name that 

 cannot be employed, inasmuch as it was proposed twenty years ago by 

 Dr. Leach for a genus of Homalopterous insects, and published with 

 descriptive characters in the second volume of the Memoirs of the Wernerian 

 Society : the British species are distinguished from Pterostichus by being of 

 a much smaller size, generally of a metallic black or brown, depressed, with 

 the thorax considerably narrowed behind ; the antennae are rather short and 

 stout, and the palpi very slender.

This diflfers from Abax, not only by its brilliant metallic splendour, but also 

 in being more convex, of a different form, the jjalpi less robust, antennae 

 shorter and more slender, &c. : one species only is known, Ab. metallicus of

Beneath dull ochreous-yellow ; above of a brassy-brown and shining ; thorax 

 punctate on the hinder margin, and having near each angle two short im- 

 pressed stris : elytra ovate, finely punctate-striate : legs ochreous-brown, 

 with fuscous spines on the tibis. 



Found near London. 



The genus Amara is a very puzzling one : for alterations in its nomenclature, 

 and I may here state in that of other portions of the Coleoptera, I must 

 refer the reader to the second edition of my Nomenclature.
