Carahides, 
Horn, 1. c. pp. 97 -105, gives a Deseriptive Catalogue of the speeies of 
Nehria and Pelophila of the United States,” in whieh he identifies Nebria 
mcestay Lee., as a var. of castanipes, Kby. (—sahlbergi, Fiseh.), me Lee. 
{eschscJioltziy M^n.). 
Pelophila borealis : ,J. Sahlberg (Not. Fenn. xi. p. 402) reeords a Lapland 
speeimen half the usual size. 
Nebria nitidulay F., nee Schr., is changed to banksi j Carabits ccelatuSy F., 
nee Web., to carniolicus : Crotch, List, &c. p. 3. 
Nebria brevicollis i Piirves (Ann. Ent. Belg. xiv. c.-r. p. ii) records the 
issue of a specimen of Gordius aquaticusy 5 centim. in length, from an example 
of this species. 
Carabus ; Pirazzoli (Bull. Ent. Ital. iii. pp. 261-281, 305-332) describes 
the Italian species of this genus. 
Carabus auratusx von Volxem (Ann. Ent. Belg. xiv. c.-r. p. xxv) records 
an arrest of development in a specimen of this insect, in which the pronotum 
was formed of two lateral and ahnost trapezoidal pieces, united by a sliort 
central suture, banded fore and aft by deep furrows — a structure opposed to 
Audouin’s views of the formation of that segment. 
Carabus nitens and aurutus, L. : Suffrian (S. E. Z. xxxii. pp. 193-201) 
enters into a very detailed critical analysis of the original descriptions of and 
subsequent references to these species. 
Carabus auronitenSy V.y should be cited as auratonitenSy Illig., K. Pr. 167, 
11 . 21, according to Suffrian (/. c. p. 203), who reproduces the somewhat 
spasmodic notes of Nodier on his capturing it for the first time. 
Carabus brabeus : Schaufuss (Nunq. Ot. i. p. 194) explains the apparently 
erroneous reference of this to macrocephalusy Bej., from which he also avers 
that cantabricusy Chevr., is distinct; he describes a Portuguese var. of 
C, rugosusy F., under the name brannani.

Carabus monilis : a var. from the Vogelsberg is named taunicus by v. Heyden, 
Ber. Off. Ver. xii. p. 45. 
Calosoma : the nocturnally predatorial habits of certain spp. of this genus 
are mentioned by Holyoak, Ent. M. M. viii. p. 85. De la Chavignerie, Ann, 
Soc. Ent. Fr, (5) i. Bull. p. Ixii, notes that C. sericemn and indagatory F., 
differ in habits both inter se and from C. sycophanta and inquisitory and 
notices slight difierences between Algerian and French specimens of C. 
sericemn. 
Calosoma rapaXy Friv., is a colour var. of sycopJiantay L., of which numerous 
deformities are briefly mentioned : Suffrian, /. c. pp. 191-193.
