through being produced posteriorly between the first and second nerves, on 
this middle portion is a black dot ; below the blotch eight or nine very small, 
whitish spots, of which two, rather larger, lie close together near the anterior 
margin towards the apex, and two close to the posterior margin (some of these 
dots are sometimes obsolete) ; membrane, base and nerves black, between the 
nerves, posteriorly, yellowish-white, in each cell a more or less elongate and 
broad fuscous-black spot, generally also a small, white spot at the base of the 
inner three cells ; exterior to the cells fuscous, gn the outer margin black, with 
a large, triangular spot below the apex of the corium, and another smaller and 
round on the posterior margin. Legs: thighs yellow, posterior margin black, 
above and beneath a chain of black or brown spots, not extending to the apex ; 
tubie, all with a broad, yellow ring before the black apex, first pair yellow, 
with a black line above, second and third pairs black, with a fine, scarcely 
perceptible, exterior, yellow line, third pair with fine, distant spines; tarst, 
black, second joint yellow, third sometimes yellow at the base. 
Length 1# line. 
In form nearest to 8. pallipes, Fab., Fieb., but more elongate-oval. 
Distinguished from all its congeners by the peculiar, large, light blotch 
on the corium, the blackness of the second and third pairs of tibiz, and 
the yellow annulus on all of them. 
Differs a little as to the maculation of the elytra from Fieber’s 
description, and also in size, which is given as two lines long, otherwise 
identical. 
A single example in Dr. Power’s collection, captured last spring at 
Hayling Island by Mr. H. Moncreaff; others taken in August, near 
Bournemouth, by Mr. E. Saunders. (See vol. vii, p. 157).

This group was instituted by Lacordaire in the first volume of his 
“‘ Genera,” but with inaccuracies which soon led to attempts to reform 
it. One of these inaccuracies was the incorporation of Callistus with 
the other (chiefly tropical) genera, a combination which this great En- 
tomologist had adopted from Baron Chaudoir. This was corrected by 
Schaum, who also proposed the further improvement of removing the 
group from the vicinity of the Bembidiine, with which Lacordaire had 
placed it in close combination, and associating it with the Odacanthine. 
None of these authors seem to have noticed the condition of the an- 
terior tarsi of the ¢, which, I think, finally disposes of some of the
