REPORT ON ZOOLOGY, MDCCCXLII : 
found ill all the salt countries of north Germany ; Harpalus truncatus, 
Amara planiuscula, Rosenhauer (Lauf und Sehwimmkaf. Erlangen, 
p. 12, 21), from Erlangen ; and three mentioned by Redtenbacher, from 
Austria (Coleopt. Austr.) viz., — Elaphrus Ullrichii, Dej., on the banks 
of rivers ; Pterostichus Justusii, Spitzy, from the Austrian Alps ; and 
Stenolophus humeralis, which is only known to me by description, 
and resembles Badister humeralis. 
Chaudoir has made a considerable contribution to the knowledge of 
the Carahi of Western Asia (Bull. d. 1. Soc. Imp. de Nat. de Moscow, 
1842, p. 601), by publishing a list of the species collected by Karelin at 
Astrabad, in the province of Masanderan, amounting to seventy-six, and 
of which many are new. Drypta angustata, perhaps too hastily distin- 
guished, from one specimen only, by several “ plus” and “ moins,” from 
the D. emarginata, which is also native there ; Zuphium longiusculum, 
resembling Z. olens; Brachinus annulicornis, elegans, biguftatus, gut- 
tula, scutellaris ; Anthia Mannerheimii, nearly allied to A. sexguttata ; 
Scarites crenulatus, persicus ; Clivina Icevifrons, Elaphrus impres- 
sifrons, Panagceus elongatus, Mann., not ditfering, in Chaudoir’s 
opinion, from P. crux major ; Chlceuius dimidiatus, fulvipes, auriceps ; 
Dinodes angusticollis, Karelinii; Pogonus micans, Anchomenus dis~ 
cophorus, principally distinguished from A. prasinus by the larger 
dorsal spot ; Agonum obscurum, Calathus dilutus, Poecilus Karelinii, 
Icevicollis ; Bothriopterus Icevicollis, Pterostichus subcordatus, Pseudo- 
maseus deplanatus, Lissotarsus reticulatus, Cephalotes longicollis, 
Leirus parallelus, Amara persica, Celia abbreviata, Acinopus eury- 
cephalus, emarginatus ; Ophonus atrocyaneus, Harpalus cribripennis. 
The fauna, in general, agrees pretty closely with the European ; even 
the newly characterized species do not appear satisfactorily different. 
The presence of an Anthia, which, perhaps, is the same with the Indian, 
is remarkable. 
Some East Indian species have been described by Guerin in Deles- 
sert’s voyage : Helluo ?>-pustulatus, Dej., which was joined as a variety 
with the H. 4t-maculatus of the Rev. Zool. ; Orthogonius lateralis, from 
the Island of Penang ; Chi. bilunatus belongs, as a variety, to the Chi. 
neelgheriensis of the Rev. Zool. ; Chi. Lafertei, from Pondicherry. 
Of the African Fauna, ten new species are to be mentioned, which 
Lucas discovered in French Barbary, and which are described in the 
Ann. d. Sc. Nat. xviii. p. 60 ; Cymindis setifeensis, leucophthalma ; 
Scarites Le- Vaillantii, Ditomus rujicornis, Nebria variabilis, very like 
N. brevicollis ; Olisthopus puncticollis, Poecilus barbarus, Numidicus 
coarctatus, Zabrus distinctus. 
Hope has also characterized a number of new species from tropical 
Africa, principally from Sierra Leone (Ann. Nat. Hist. x. 91) : Desera 
viridipennis, Oalerita anthracina, Calleida nigriventris, Eurydera
