chioms, — Lebidia and Pentoplogenius, Morawitz, being stated to 
have nothing to do with the group. Several spp. referred to 
Lebia and Lia by Gemminger and v. Harold are at pp. 113 
& 114 attributed to other genera not included in the present 
arrangement (N.B. pp. 114—123 are accidentally misplaced). 
The author gives the name epilobe to the piece (variable in 
size and form) which in the majority of the Carabidce borders 
the inner side of the lateral lobes of the mentum^ from which 
it is separated by a distinct suture ; and on the presence or 
absence of this he divides the present group into Lampriad(B 
[script. Lembridae\j which have the lobes appendiculated, and 
Lebiidce [script. Lebridc^y in which there are no epilobes. 
With vol. xliii. are given 3 excellent plates, containing tinted 
figures of the right elytron of 163 spp., the references to which 
will be found at pp. 85-87 of vol. xliv., at pp. 82-84 of which 
is a list of spp. still unknown to the author, who, however, 
expresses his opinions as to the probably true position of many 
of them.
