CARABIDiE. 
Fauvel has published (M^.m, Soc. Linn. Norm. xiv.) a memoir on the distri- 
bution of the Geodephaga in France. He divides the country into ten regions, 
viz. Begions oceanique, rhenane, s^quanaise, armoricaine, centrale, centro- 
meridionale, meridionale, mediterraneenne, lyonnaise, and alpestre, which he 
illustrates by means of a coloured map. Besides a great number of common 
species, each of these regions, according to the author, has its peculiar forms, 
Avhich are enumerated by him.

Cychrus. Leconte (Trans. Amer. Ent. Soc. ii. pp. GO-Cl) tabulates the

Omopliron. Chaudoir publishes (Bev. et Mag. de Zool. 1808, pp. 64 et seqq.) 
a note upon this genus, in which he enumerates 31 species, 9 of which are

{Ceroylossxis) sufuralis (Fab.), chiicnsis (Eschsch.), and darimnii (Hope) are 
local forms of a single species, to which C. insidaris (Hope), reichei (Gudr.), 
and huguetti (Cast.) are also to be referred. 
Calosoma vagans (Dej.). Bedtenbacher (/. c. p. 4) notices a variety of this 
species with brown elytra. 
The larva and perfect insect of Calosoma calidum are figured in the Ame-
