PuTZEYs has published (Mem. Soc. Roy. Liege, 2® ser. i. 
pp. 171-283) an important paper on the species of Amaroid Ca- 
rabidse in the collection of Baron Chaudoir. Of this a prelimi- 
nary abstract was published by him in 1865 (see Record, 1865, 
pp. 404 & 421) j and the table of genera there given is reproduced 
in the extended memoir. The total number of species here cited 
is 177, of which 44 are new : — 
Ama?'a prcetenmssa (Sahib.) = similata (Gyll.) j A. suhconvexa (Putz.) is de- 
scribed, p. 177 j A. ohsoleta (Pej.) and adamantina (Kolen.) = omifa (Fab.) 3 
A. assimilis (Obaud.)=VM/^«m (Panz.)j A.persica (Ohaud.) = (Gy lb) ; 
A.perplexa (Dej .) =var. /amiWam (Duft.) j Celia mjicornis (J)Qy)=iingenna 
(Duft.) j C. fusca (Bej.) and cursiians (Zimin.) are regarded as distinct, and 
their characters indicated (/. c. p. 187) j C. modesta (De).)=munieipalis (Duft.), 
to which also belong A. ohscuricornis and C. viridescens and ruthemca (Motsch.) ; 
A. in^qualis (Kirby) = C. interstitialis or patruelis (Dej.) ; C. microcephala 
(Motsch.) probably (Zimni.) ; C. monticola (Zimm.) = quenselii 
(Schdnh.) ] C. remota (Zimm.) and indistincta {M,diXm.)=.remotestriata (Dej.), 
as also probably C, gibba (Lee.) j C. contempta (hQQ.) = musculm (Say); C. 
granaria (Dej.)=*Vi^f«a (Duft.) ; A, lapponica (J)Q}.)^Acrodon hnmneus 
(Duft.); Leiocnemia (Zimm.) is a heterogeneous assemblage. Of the 12 
species enumerated by him the author separates 6 to form a new genus 
intermediate between Leiocnemia and Qurtonotua^ under the name of Leiridcs 
(see Record, 1865, p. 422). Of the remainder, L. elmgata = aabidosa 
(Dej.), leaving 6 of Zimmermann’s species in the genus, to which Putzeys 
adds 21 (12 new, including those described in 1865) ; L. polita (Chaud.) and 
barnevillii (F&ivm.) = sahulosa (Dej.) ; A. conjinia (Dej.) = (Say) ; A. Cor- 
sica (Reiche) = montana (Dej.) ; Curtonotu^ altaicus (Motsch.) = fodince 
(Mann.); C. caucasicus (M-otsch.) = aidicus (Panz.) ; C. uralensis (Motsch.) 
=gebleri(De^.)‘, Lemts volgensis (0haiid.)=(7««’i{. (Krin.); C. davriens 
(Motsch.) (lh*);J L. borealis {G\\ 2 iX\dL.)t==.brunnipennis (Dej.) ; L. lon- 
gicollis (Motsch.) =ihgperboreus (Dej.). This paper is concluded by an 
alphabetical list of the described Amaroid Carabidie. 
Putzeys (Stett. ent. Zeit. 1867, pp. 169-178) remarks on some species 
belonging to the group of the AmarideSj namely, Leiocnemia fervida (Ooq.), 
L. montana (Dej.), and Leirides alpicola (Dej.). He also gives a description 
of Celia harpalina (Lee.) and tables of the known species of Celia and Leio- 
cnemia. Some new species are also described. 
CakUhua. , Gautier des Cottos, in his monograph of the European and 
Mediterranean species of this genus (Mitth. scliw. ent. Ges. ii. pp. 285-286), 
describes in all 60 species; but as some of these are referred in a note as 
synonyms to other species (i?u7e infra), the total number admitted by him at 
the close of his work is 47. / The following notes maybe given from his 
synonymy : — C. octoseriatus (Gaut.)=oy«//s (Dej.) ; C. cisteloides (I11.) = /«/ms 
(L inn.); C. latua (Curt.) punctiqjennis (Germ.); C. minutus (Gant.) = 
luctuosus (Dej.) ; C. uniseriatiis (Vuillefr.)=an^w/an.s (Ohevr.) ; C, ambiguua 
(Payk.) includes/ws(?«<s (Fab. &c.), rujipes (Fab.) ?, tardus (Fab.) ?, mfangulus 
(Marsh. &c), and dilutua (Ohaud.) ; C. thoracicus (Dc].)=iSolicri (Bossi) ; C. 
dtstmguendus (Ohaud.) and C. lugena CN^uillefr.) = /«/ws (Linn.) ; C, angustatus
