E. T. Atkinson — Catalogue of the Carabida?. 



III. Metasternum prolonged behind in a triangular process, the ante- 

 coxal piece entirely wanting : habits aquatic. 

 Antenna? slender, filiform or setaceous, abdomen with six seg- 

 ments : eyes two : Dyliscidas. 

 Antennae irregular, very short : abdomen with seven segments 

 of which the first two are closely united : eyes four : Gyrinidce. 

 The Carabidce are divided into three sub-families : — 

 Middle coxal cavities not entirely enclosed by the sterna, the epimeron 

 of the mesosternura attaining the coxse : Carabines. 

 Middle coxal cavities entirely enclosed by the sterna, the epimeron of 

 the mesosternum not attaining the coxa?. 



Head without antennal grooves beneath and with distinct super-orbital 

 setse : ambulatorial setse of abdomen usually well developed. Earpalince. 

 Head with distinct, usually long, antennal grooves beneath, and with- 

 out distinct super-orbital setse : ambulatorial setse of the abdomen 

 feeble or wanting. Pseudomorphi?ice. 



The Harpalinse are further subdivided into two sections, the first iu 

 which the head has two super-orbital setigerous punctures, the second in 

 which there is but oue. The groups iucluded in the subfamilies are as 

 follows : —

M. Borr6 writes of this arrangement : — ' Beaucoup des genres prennent 

 ainsi des places bien differentes de celles ou nous sommes accoutumes do 

 les voir • deja, dans l'arraugement des tribus, nous avons pu voir que des 

 affinites consaciees par un usage pour ainsi dire general, sont tout a 

 fait brisSes, etje dois dire avec justice, car tous ceux qui out approfondi 

 uu peu la matiere le savent, il n'y avait dans notre classification que trop 

 de traces de cette mesquine etude que Ton peut 1'appeler l'eutomologie
