THE  REV.  F.  W.  HOPE'S  CHARACTERS  AND  DESCRIPTIONS  OF 
of  its  general  structure.  Its  situation  appears  to  be  between  Cymindis,  Lat.,  and  Plo- 
chionus,  Dej.  It  agrees  with  both  those  genera  in  the  penultimate  joint  of  the  tarsi 
being  destitute  of  lobes  ;  and  differs  from  both  by  having  its  claws  toothless.  In  other 
respects  the  characters  of  Aploa  are  very  similar  to  those  of  Lebia,  Lat. 
Aploa  picta.

The  only  Calosoma  allied  to  the  present  is  Cal.  chlorostictum,  Klug,  a  species  wliich 
is  found  in  Egypt,  and  which  has  been  confounded  by  the  Baron  Dej  can  with  Cal.  ru- 
gosum,  an  insect  common  at  the  Cape  of  Good  Hope. 
Cal.  Chinense,  Kirb.,  and  Cal.  Indicum,  Hope,  are,  I  beheve,  the  only  Indian  species 
hitherto  described.    The  latter  occurs  in  the  collection  of  Major-General  Hardwicke.
