Platynus longaevus sp. no v. 



PI. VIII, Pig. 1. 



This is a similar fragment to the last and is also most nearly allied to 

 P. cupreus DeJ. It shows similar impunctate striae on a flat field, but 

 the striae are less deeply impressed than in the last species and the colour 

 is piceous ; the sutural stria is moderate and scarcely inteferes with the 

 basal course of the first stria, which at base is midway between the sutural 

 stria and the second. The elytron is considerably slenderer than in P. 

 cupreus, has a longer sutural stria and is of a difierent colour. The length 

 of the fragment is i^S"", and the probable length of the eltyron 5-2'°" 

 its breadth. 1-75-".

Harpalus conditus sp. nov. 



PI. viii.. Fig. 5.

 besides a moderately long sutural stria, between the first and second, 

 arising from the base of the second ; the third and fourth striae unite near 

 the tip, and the fifth and sixth barely before them ; the striae are moder.
