O. G. Thomson, Opusc. Ent. (fasc. vii.) pp. 615-731, pi., discusses the 
external anatomy of the genera included by him in the sub-tribe 
Caralides^ especially with reference to Carabus^ stress being laid in the 
division of species upon the form of the hooked apex of the forceps of 
the copulatory organs in the which is figured in many species, with 
other points of detail. In addition to the 10 new sub-genera noticed 
infra, the following sub-genera are employed for Cardbus : — Eupachys, 
Chaud., ijpQ, glyptopterus, Fisch. ; Cratocephalus, Kirsch, type, songaricus, 
K., = cicatricosus, Fisch. ; Pachycranius, Sol., type, schcenherri, Fisch. ; 
Platyclirus, Kol., type, irregularis, F. ; Cechenus, Fisch., type, bceberi, 
Adams; was ^er [!], Kollar, in which the characters of fortunii and 
hlaptoides are erroneously reversed; Plectes, Fisch., type, deplanatus, 
Fisch. ; Megadontus, Sol., type, ccelatus, F., and including violaceus, L. ; 
Macrothorax, Chenu, type, alternans, Dej., = morbillosus, F. ; Carabus,

Leistus rufipes, Chaud., puncticeps, Fairm., afer, Coq., and abdominalis, 
Reiche & S., are varr. of montanus, Steph., which occurs in Syria and 
Cyprus; C. P. de la Brhlerie, Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. (5) v. p. 125. 
Leistus piceus found in Massachusetts ; J. L. Leconte, Tr. Am. Ent.

Procrustes asperatus, Muls., = impressus, Klug, var. ; this species, 
with P. anatolicus, Chaud. (which does not occur in Anatolia, but only 
in Cyprus), has a setigerous pore on the first joint of the antennas, found 
also in all true Carabi, though not in P. coriaceus ; specimens also of 
P. impressus (out of a large number) are recorded as not distinguishable 
in all essential characters from Carabus hemprichi, the probability of 
hybridism being suggested, and Procrustes is sunk as a sub-genus of 
Carabus. Anatomical characters of P. impressus approaching Calosoma 
are also noted. C. P. de la Brhlerie, 1. c. pp. 120-124. •
