Page 141. HARPALUS. This genus is a very difficult one to understand : 

 since the publication of the former portion of this work many new species 

 have been discovered, some of which I shall endeavour to characterize, and 

 I may observe that of these most of them have occurred in tolerable plenty, 

 so that their apparent distinctness does not arise from the peculiarities of 

 individual specimens. 



Page 142. Sp. 3. Harpalus stygius. Of this insect, which Mr. Curtis says 

 " is the female probably of Ha. serripes," as well as of this last insect, I have 

 a series of both sexes of each species: the less spined tibise of stygius will 

 distinguish that insect from the other.
