HARPALIDiE. 43 



(61) 5. * Harpalus longior. Longer Harpalus. 



H. (longior J oblongus, nigcr, antennis, palpis, pedibusque, rufo-fulvis ; naso apice mcmbranaceo ; protlwracc pnslice punctulato ,■ 

 eh/tris longiusculis siriarinn lateralium interstitiis obsolete punctulatis. 



Longer Harpalus, oblong, black ; antenna, palpi, and legs rufo-fulvous ; apex of the nose membranous ; prothorax punc- 

 tured behind ; elytra rather long with the interstices of the lateral furrows obsoletely punctured. 



Length of the body5| — 7^ lines. 



Two specimens taken, the largest in Lat. 54°. 



DESCRIPTION. 



Body black. Upper-lip piceous ; antenna;, palpi, and legs reddish-tawny, the first longer than 

 the prothorax ; the nose terminates anteriorly in a reddish membrane or rhinarium : prothorax qua- 

 drangular with all the angles rounded, rather longer than wide ; dorsal channel anteriorly abbrevi- 

 ated ; lateral margin minutely punctured, much depressed, especially at the posterior angles ; basilar 

 impressions double, shallow, and minutely punctured : elytra very little glossed, more than twice the 

 length of the prothorax, furrows impunctured with convex interstices, the lateral ones with some 

 scattered very minute punctures ; the vesicles on the sole of the four anterior tarsi of the male are 

 arranged as in the other Harpali. 



Both the specimens taken in the Expedition are males, or I should have supposed the unusual 

 difference in their size was sexual, probably the small one was taken in a higher latitude. 



(62) 6. * Harpalus laticollis. Wide-necked Harpalus. 



H. (laticollis) ater, nitidus ; palpis apice antemiisque basi rvfis ; prothorace lato, postice obsolete punctulato et foveato ; elytria 



subsulcatis interstitiis convexis lavibus, foveola unica. 

 Wide-necked Harpalus, very black, glossy ; apex of the palpi and base of the antennse rufous ; prothorax wide, at the base 



obsoletely punctured and impressed ; elytra furrowed with convex impunctured interstices, and a single puncti- 



form impression. 



Length of the body 5h lines. 



A single specimen taken. 



DESCRIPTION. 



This insect very closely resembles H. interpunctatus ; it differs principally in having a rather 

 wider prothorax with all the angles rounded, with the dorsal channel abbreviated anteriorly, and with 

 only the base very indistinctly punctured : the interstices of the furrows of the elytra are also with- 

 out punctures, and there is a single punctiform impression in the usual situation adjacent to the 

 second furrow.
