It is probable that the two last genera will be 

 found eventually to connect the Bembidiidee with

 all the known genera composing the family. Inter- 

 mediate forms may be expected to occur, uniting 

 the European and Transatlantic genera ; there is,

 the exotic species, as little of their habits are 

 known.

 by Mr. Stephens to Philochthus, as the former 

 had previously been applied by Meigen to desig-
