Nomen. 2d edit. col. 13. — Depressus, supra viridi-ceneus, elytris punctato- 



striatis, antennarum articulo primo tibiis tarsisquejlavo-testaceis. (Long. corp. 



2—2i lin.) 

 Depressed, above brassy-green; anteunae with the basal joint, the tibia, and 



the tarsi testaceous-yellow ; elytra immaculate, punctate-striated. 

 This species having been described by the above name previously to the Per. 



tibialis of p. 15, I altered that of the latter to Per. cnemerythus in the 



second edition of my Nomenclature. 

 Found in Yorkshire. 



Page 24. Sp. 9 a. Lopha nana. Steph. Nomen. 2d edit. col. 14. — Nigra, 

 nitida, antennis pedibusque pieeis, elytris subpunclato-striatis, striis ad apicem 

 excurrentibus. (Long. corp. | — 1 lin.) 



Shining, black; the antennae and legs pitchy; elytra immaculate, faintly 

 punctate-striate, the striae extending to the apex. 



Found in Yorkshire. 



Page 25. Sp. 11 a. Lo. haemorrhoidalis. Steph. Nom.en. 2d edit. col. 14. — 

 Caruleo-nigra, nitida, antennarum articulo basalt, tibiis tarsisque rufis, elytris 

 punctato striatis, striis abbreviatis, apicibus testaceo-rujis. (Long. corp. 

 li lin.) 



Blue-black, shining, with the basal joint of the antennae, the tibiae, and the 

 tarsi red ; elytra punctate-striate, the striae not extending to the apex, the 

 latter testaceous-red. 



Taken in the marshes about London. 



Page 30. Sp. 1. Bembidium paludosum. I have a fine series of this species, 

 kindly presented to me by T. C. Heysham, Esq., who finds the insect near 

 Carlisle : it has occurred also in plenty on the banks of the Tees, on the 

 authority of the Rev. G. T. Rudd. 



Page 31. Fam. VII. ELAPHRID.^. Amongst the characters assigned to 

 this family, after Latreille, in his Regne Animal, p. 197, I have said, 

 " anterior tibiue not emarginated," evidently as the converse of the notch in 

 the Bembidiidae, &c.: in allu.sion thereto, Mr, Curtis, under his observations 

 upon the genus NotiophUus, as a prelude to an ill-natured remark, (regard- 

 less, hie et ubique, of my note in p. 6, vol. i. Haustellata, and of the observation 

 in p. 184, vol. i. Mandibulata) states " that the Compte De Jean was mis- 

 taken in supposing that the anterior tibiae of the Notiophili were not emar- 

 ginated, for they are deeply notched ;" ! an assertion neither borne out by 

 facts nor by his own figure in plate 254, as, instead of being notched in the 

 sense of the term, as applied to the Bembidiidae, &c., the tibia is merely 

 rather suddenly attenuated towards the apex : a comparison of the figure 

 above quoted with those introduced by Mr. Curtis in his plates 200, 203, 

 310, &c. of allied insects considerably less than Notiophili, will exhibit 

 the distiiiclioiis, and show what Latreille, &t. intend by a notch; and
