(59) 3. * Harpalus ochropus. Ochre-legged Harpalus. 



A. (ochropus J niger, nitidus ; prothorace lavi prqfundius canaliculato ,■ margine laterali, antennis prothoracis longitudine, pedi- 



busque, fulvis. 

 Ochre-legged Harpalus, black, glossy; prothorax impunctured, rather deeply channelled ; with the lateral margin, antennae, 



which are as long as the prothorax, and legs, tawny. 



Length of the body S' s lines. 

 DESCRIPTION. 



This comes very near to H. pleuriticus, but is considerably smaller; the antenna? are longer; the 

 prothorax is impunctured at the base, its basilar impressions are linear ; the side-covers of the elytra 

 are chestnut ; and its thighs are more robust in proportion. 



(60) 4. * Harpalus interpunctatus. Interpunctured Harpalus. 



H. ( interpunctatus J ater, nitidus : antennis scapo, palpisque apice, rufescentibus ; prothorace punctulato disco hcvi, postice leviter 



at late foveato ; ehjtris subsulcatis, interstitiis minutissime punctulatis. 

 Interpunctured Harpalus, black, glossy ; antennse with the scape and last joint of the palpi rufescent ; prothorax punctured 



with the disk smooth ; basilar impressions shallow but wide ; elytra rather deeply furrowed, with the interstices 



of the furrows very minutely punctured. 



PLATE VII. FIG. 8. 



Length of the body 5h lines. 



Many taken in Lat. 54°. 



DESCRIPTION. 



Body proportionally longer than in the antecedent species, black, glossy, not depressed. Head 

 triangular with a pair of confluent red dots, visible only in the sun, between the eyes ; antenna? 

 shorter than the prothorax, with the scape and last joint of the palpi rufous : prothorax subquadran- 

 gular ; anterior augles rounded ; dorsal channel drawn from the apex to the base ; punctured espe- 

 cially posteriorly, disk impunctured transversely wrinkled ; basilar impressions shallow ; lateral margin 

 dilated posteriorly : elytra rather deeply furrowed, furrows impunctured, interstices convex, very 

 minutely but not thickly punctured : the four anterior tarsi of the male, as was observed before, 6 are 

 furnished with a thick brush of vesicles, not arranged in a double series, as in other species of the 

 genus, but resembling, in this respect, the sarrothropodous Geadephaga, 7 except that the brush is 

 not formed of hairs.
