Fam. 2. CARABIDtE. 



The collection does not contain any insect very near the type of this family, the character per 

 excellentiam of which, is to have the maxilla; without any articulated unguis at the apex, and the 

 anterior tibiae without any emarginaticn on their inner side. In receding from the genus Carahm. 

 which is the type of tire groupe, and advancing to meet the Harpalidce, the first appearance of 

 the tibial emargina'cion msiy be traced at the apex by an oblique linear canal in some insects, 

 which nevertheless truly belong to the family. This canal, however, in some cases, does not 

 advance so far as the anterior face of the tibia. 



When irritated, this family of insects posse>ses, in a remarkable degree, the property of spirt- 

 ing out from the anus an exceedingly acrid and volatile fluid.
