which the author places here upon Hope’s authority, does not belong to

Dailodontus, Reiche, new genus, South American ; Cayennensis, Dej.; 
rufipes, Brull. 
Pleur acanthus, Gray, American; sulcipennis. Gray; Brasiliensis, 
hrevicollis, Lacordairei, Dej. ; cribratus, Reiche ; anthracinus, san~ 
guinolentus, and f err ugineus, Kl. 
Helluomorpha, Lap., American. Heros, Gray ; agathyrnus, Buq. ; 
bellicosa, Lap. ; unicolor, Brull. ; melanaria, Reiche, new species ; femo- 
rata, Dej. ; nigerrima, pubescens, Kl. ; coracina, Mannerh. ; sparsa, 
Brull. ; are South American, with slightly thickened antennae and shorter 
thorax. H. prceusta, laticornis, nigripennis, Clairvillei, Dej., are North 
American, with much thickened antennae and longer thorax. 
{Hell. pygmceus, Dej., does not belong to this genus, but rather to 
Diaphorus, in Reiche’s opinion.) 
The family of the Carabi has been enriched with a number of new 
genera by Chaudoir (Bull. Mosc. 1845, p. 832) ; they have been co- 
piously and accurately described, but the distinguishing characteristics 
have not been prominently noticed ; other new genera have been founded 
by Waterhouse and others, so that during this year, these form a con- 
siderable series. 
Rhombodera, Reiche (Rev. Zool. p. 313) ; allied to Lebia ; the thorax 
somewhat rhomboidal ; the fourth joint of the tarsus simple ; the claws 
with a blunt tooth at the base, without comb-like toothing. Rh. virgata 
from New Granada, and Rh. atrorufa from Brazil. 
Glycia, Chaudoir (Bull. Mosc. 184:2, p. 805), founded on the Cymindis 
ornata, KL, an intermediate form between Cymindis and Calleida, 
agreeing with the former in the simple fourth tarsal joint, with the latter 
in the strong hatchet-shaped last joint of the labial-palpi. 
Coeloprosopus, Chaudoir (1. c. p. 839), formed on the Catascopus 
4i-maculatus, MacLeay, which differs from Catascopus by wanting the 
tooth on the mentum ; but how it differs from Pericalus, MacLeay, is 
yet to be determined. 
Lobodontus, Chaudoir (1. c. p. 841), allied to Thyreopterus ; the tooth 
on the mentum large and rounded. L. trisignatus ; new species from 
South Africa. 
Scopodes, Erich. (Archiv. 1 Bd. p. 123, t. 4, f. 1) ; mentum with very 
short side lobes, without a tooth ; hind legs long and slender ; eyes very 
large. Sc. Boops, new species from Van Diemen’s Land. 
Scariphites, MacLeay. Under this name Westwood separates (Arcana 
Ent. p. 157), a small group of the species of Scarites, from New Hol- 
land, as a sub-genus, which agree in the want of wings, the wide rounded 
abdomen, and the cylindrical last joint of the palpi. He has de- 
scribed three new species, loc. cit. p. 87, and beautifully figured them : —
