ENTOMOLOGY. 



ginate behind ; each elytron with about fourteen striae ; 

 the fourth, eighth, and twelfth from the suture inter- 

 rupted ; the intervals with a distinct somewhat rugose 

 Hue ; abdomen oval. 



Carabus caienulatus. Scop. Fabr. Latr. 



Carabits intricatus. Marsh. Oliv. 



Inhabits the south of France, Germany, and Britain. 

 It is sometimes found quite black, at other times with 

 a tinge of fine violet. It is very plentiful in Ireland, 

 Scotland, and England, especially in the two former 

 countries. 



Sfi. 3. Intricatus. Black violet above, black beneath ; 

 thorax narrow, with nearly equal diameters ; elytra 

 with irregular striae, the intervals punctate-rugose ; each 

 elytron with three elevated catenulated lines. 



Carabus intricatus. Linn. Latr. 



Carabus cyaneus. Fabr. Panzer. 



Inhabits Europe. Is common in Germany and Swe- 

 den, but is rare in France. There is but one instance 

 of its having occurred in Britain : Dr Leach took a 

 single specimen under a stone in a wood opposite the 

 Virtuous-Lady Mine, on the river Tavy, below Tavis- 

 tock in Devonshire, in the last week in May. It is sin- 

 gular, that Mr Marsham, (who has every opportunity of 

 examining the Linnean cabinet,) should have confound- 

 ed the former species with this, as it will in no way 

 agree with the character. 



Sfi. 4. JVemoralis. Black ; margin of the elytra and 

 sides of the thorax violet ; elytra obscure copper, rugu- 

 lose, with three longitudinal rows of excavated spots. 



Carabus nemor alia. Illig. Latr. 



Carabus hortensis. Oliv. Marsh. Fabr. 



Inhabits France and Germany. 



Sfi. 5. Monilis. Brassy-green or violet-black above, 

 black beneath ; each elytron with aboui fourteen eleva- 

 ted lines, two in the middle more distinct than the rest ; 

 the fourth, eighth, and twelfth from the suture catenu- 

 lated ; abdomen elongate-oval. 



Carabus monilis. Fabr. Latr. 



Carabus catenulatus. Marsh. 



Inhabits England, France, and Germany. It varies in 

 sculpture, those lines on each side of the entire line be- 

 ing very frequently uninterrupted. 



Sfi. 6. Morbillosus. Brassy or black copper above, 

 black beneath ; each elytron with three ribs, one at the 

 suture ; the interstices with a catenulated line, and on 

 each side of it, with a less distinct smooth punctate- 

 rugose line ; abdomen elongate-oval. 



Carabus morbillosus. Fabr. Latr. 



Carabus granulalus. Marsh. 



Antennae quite black ; thorax often or generally cu- 

 preous or coppery ; intermediate tibiae with a reddish- 

 tomentose line. It varies in colour, being sometimes 

 violet, with the sides green, or entirely black-bronze. 



Inhabits Europe, under stones. 



Sfi. 7. jlrvensis. Coppery or black above; antennae 

 altogether black ; each elytron with fourteen elevated 

 lines, three slightly notched transversely ; the fourth, 

 eighth, twelfth from the suture catenulated; abdomen oval. 



Carabus arrensis. Fabr. Illig. 



Inhabits Germany, Sweden, and England. 



b. Lip projecting as far as the first joint of the palpi ; 

 exterior base of the maxillae distinctly ciliated j abdomen 

 generally very flat. 



Genus XLIV. Nebhia. Latr. 



Carabus. Linn. Fabr. Marsh. Schonher. 



Lip nearly quadrate, not projecting as far as the la- 

 brum, nor tricuspidate at its extremity ; labial palpi not 



twice as long as the head; mandibles but little dilated 

 externally. 



* Back very much depressed. 



Sfi. 1. Comfilanala. Pale-yellowish ; elytra paler, stri- 

 ated with two transverse bands, composed of black lines. 



Carabus comfilanatus. Linn. 



Carabus arenarius. Fabr. Oliv. 



JVebria arenaria. Latr. Gen. Crust, et Ins. vol. i. p. 

 221. tab. 7. fig. 6. 



Inhabits the sandy maritime shores of France, Ger- 

 many, and South Wales. 



Sfi. 2. Brcvicollis. Black shining antennae ; palpi, 

 tibise, and tarsi, brown ; elytra with punctured striae. 



Carabus brcvicollis. Fabr. Schonher. 



Carabus injidus. Rossi. 



Carabus rugimarginatus. Marsh. 



JVebria brcvicollis. Latr. 



Inhabits Europe ; is found under stones and under the 

 bark of trees. 



Carabus Gyllenhalli of Schonher, which was discover- 

 ed as a native of Britain by Dr Leach, at the base of 

 Ben Lomond in Scotland. Has since been taken in some 

 plenty near Edinburgh, by the late Richard Rawlins, Esq. 

 one of the most promising entomologists of our day. 

 JVebria sabulosa has likewise been taken near Hull in 

 Yorkshire, by W. Spencc, Esq. 



** Back convex. Gen. Helobium, Leach's MSS. 



Sfi. 3. Multifiunctata. Black-brassy above, black be- 

 neath ; middle of each elytron with impressed diluted 

 spots, in a double longitudinal series ; the intervals 

 somewhat catenated. 



Carabus multifiunctatus. Linn. Fabr. Oliv. Marsh. 



JVi bria multifiunctata. Latr. 



Helobium mullifiunctatum. Leach's MSS. 



Inhabits the northern parts of Europe. In England 

 it occurs near London occasionally, especially in Batter- 

 sea-fields. It should be placed, in a natural series, next 

 to Elaphrus, to which genus it approaches in habit and 

 economy.
