with the three large foveas extending all along the anterior part and 

 causing it to look as if carinate in the centre ; last joint of palpi sulv 

 cylindrical, truncate at tip ; frontal impressions moderately long, 

 well defined, almost parallel, produced beyond the anterior part of 

 the eyes which project much, surface smooth and shining; elytra 

 reaching a little short of the base of the prothorax ; tooth in the 

 mentum bifid ; prothorax transverse, hardly narrowed behind, 

 nearly one and one-third as wide as long, almost truncate at apex, 

 with the anterior angles rounded, not projecting, the sides are 

 moderately curved, the posterior angles quite rounded, the base is 

 almost truncate, the lateral groove is narrow, and the external 

 rounded margin thin ; the surface is moderately convex principally 

 towards the sides and posterior angles which are deflexed, the base 

 has a transverse depression, and has on each side an impression 

 containing two longitudinal striae ; it is almost smooth, except for 

 some wavy, irregular transverse lines ; the anterior transverse 

 impression and also the median line are well defined ; elytra almost 

 parallel, hardly subsinuate between the shoulder and the median 

 part, and not ampliate beyond it ; they are nearly one and two- 

 thirds as long as broad, two and a half as long, and hardly more 

 than one and one-fifth as broad as the prothorax ; the shoulders are 

 obtusely rounded, but the basal border, slightly sinuate, forms with 

 the lateral fold a nearly straight angle ; the striae are deep and 

 smooth, the intervals slightly convex, the third one has two 

 punctures, the first one at about the median part, the second 

 towards the end, and both are close to the second striae, the 

 scutellary rudiment is long, well defined, and situated between the 

 two first striae, the series of punctures on the eighth stria is inter- 

 rupted in the middle ; the prosternum is smooth, the intercoxal 

 projection is not recurved, the episterna of the metasternum, also 

 smooth, are longer than broad, and have a well-defined groove along 

 the external border ; the sides of the abdominal segments are 

 irregularly plicate, and the folds moderately deep, the anal segment, 

 simple in the female, and with two piligerous punctures on each 

 side, has, as well as the two preceding ones, a transverse well- 

 defined groove ; the legs are moderately slender, the posterior tarsi, 

 which are a little shorter than the tibiae, have no lateral grooves, 

 the fifth joint of all the tarsi is glabrous and without ciliae under- 

 neath." 



"There is no Pterostichus (Feronia) in Africa to which P. 

 Peringueyi can be compared, and it seems to me necessary to create 

 for it a distinct subgenus of which the essential characters are : 

 Ogjnophorus — Head normal, eyes protruding, tooth in the mentum
