FAimsLAinE (Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. 4® sdr. vii. p. 389) records Pseudotrechm 
mutilatus (Rosenh.) as an inhabitant of Morocco. The same author (I. c. 
p. 391) gives a list of the known species of Amara found in Algeria. 
Letzneii (Jahresber. schles. Ges. vaterl. Cultur, xliv. p. 169) briefly notices 
the results of an excursion to the Riesengebirge, referring chiefly to Cara- 
bideous Beetles, and particularly to Anchomemis ericeti (Panz.), which he 
found in considerable numbers, and of which he here indicates numerous 
colom’-varieties. 
Perty (Mitth. naturf. Ges. in Bem, 1867) describes an example of Molops 
terricola (Fab.) with the left elytron stunted and altered in sculpture (p. 304), 
and one of Percosia patricia (Oreutz.), with the right antennae much abbre- 
viated, and having only one misshapen piece in place of the last 9 joints 
(p. 306). 
Perty (Mitth. naturf. Ges. in Bern, 1867, p. 307, fig. 6) describes and 
figures a monstrous specimen of Calathus fulvipes, having the right anterior 
tibia short, with an indication of a fissure, and bearing three tarsi. 
II. Fuss notices an example of Amara consularis a double claw-joint.

A. SkAcel notices the injury done to wheat by the larva of Zabrus gihhus 
(Verb, naturf. Ver. in BrUnn, v. Sitzungsb. p. 31). See also Kiinstler, Verb, 
zool.-bot. Ges. in Wien, xvii. pp. 915-922. 
Crotch (Proc. Zool. Soc. 1867, p. 386) describes Anchomenus aptinoides 
(Tam.), from the Azores.

of mentum emarginate in the middle j head large ; last joint of palpi sub- 
cylindric ; posterior trochanters recurvo-acuminate ; tarsi in both sexes (?) 
naked; claws simple. — Sp. M. antipodus, sp. n., Schauf. ibid., from South 
Australia. 
SphaUax, g. n.. Bates, Ent. M. Mag. iv. p. 66. Alliance doubtful ; Bates 
regards it as probably the type of a new subfamily ; head and thorax naiTow, 
head ovate, thorax cordate; mandibles moderate, ciu’ved, acute; mentum 
with a bifid tooth, lateral lobes spined ; ligula elongate, lanceolate, detached 
from paraglossse ; palpi short, last joints longer than penultimates, obtusely 
pointed ; joint 2 of antennae minute, 3 longest ; tibiae sulcate above and 
beneath, anterior deeply notched ; anterior tarsi in cf with 3 dilated, trian- 
gular joints, with a dense brush of hairs beneath. — Sp. S. peryphoides, sp. n..
