CARABIDiE. 
Carabides. 
Buqnon (Mittheil. schweiz. ent. Gesellsch. iii. p. G) records Nehria gyl- 
lenhali from Lausanne. 
Procrustes sphodrinus, described by Gautier des Cottes as a variety of 
rugosus (Bej.), is now considered by him a good species. Mittheil. schweiz. 
entom. Gesellsch. iii. p. 131. 
Claudon (Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. 4® ser. ix. p. v) records the habits of Carahus 
nodulosus (Creutz.), which lives at the bottom of the wettest granitic valleys 
of Alsace, and appears to prey principally on larvm of Agahus guttutus. 
T. Deyrolle (An. Soc. Ent. Fr. 4® s6r. ix. Bull. pp. xxxvi, xxxix and xl) 
records the capture in Pontic Alps, north-east of Asia Minor, of several rare 
Carahidce, including four new species (not described) of Carahus, which he 
names robustus, ponticus, theophilei, and gilnickii. 
Frivaldszky’s var. hlandus (Abhandl. Ungar. Acad. 18G5, p. 173, t. ix. 
fig. 2) of Carahus montivagus is, according to v. fleyden (Berl. ent. Zeit. 
xiii. p. 64), not distinct from Hampe’s var. vellepiticus. He reproduces Fri- 
valdszky’s description. 
Crotch (Coleopt. Ilefte, v. p. lOG) suggests the following changes: — 
Carahus arvensis to be referred to Ilbst. nec Fab. ; C. pomeranus to Gmel. 
wecOliv. ; C. nodulosus (Creutz. )=i?«no/oi‘W6‘ (Fab., Mant. 1787); C. splendens 
to be referred to Oliv. nec Fab. ; Calosoma retusimi, Fab., Syst. Ent. 1775, is 
to stand; C. mdagator (Fab., 1787)=7nade7'ce (Fab., 1775) ; C. sericeian 
(Fah.) = auro 2 nmctatum (Payk., Mon. Carab., 1790). 
Wollaston (Ann. & Mag. of Nat. Hist. 4th ser. iv. p. 303) indicates a 
doubt whether his Calosoma haligena may not be synonymous with the prior 
C. helence of Hope, who, in that case, would seem to have described from a 
dark stunted form. 
Chaijdoir (Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. 4®<s^r. ix. p. 372) thinks Calosoma nigrum 
(Parry) an aberrant dark form of a species which he proceeds to describe as 
C. scah'ipenne, repudiating Parry’s name. 
Eiley (First Ann. Eep. Nox. Ins. Missouri, 18G9, p. 89) figures the larva 
and imago and refers to the habits of Calosoma calidum, known in N. Ame- 
rica as the “ Cut-worm Lion,” from its devouring the larvm of certain species 
of Agroiis, &c. 
New species 
Leistus jmrvicollis, Chaud. Eev. et Mag. Zool. 18G9, p. G4, Epirus.
