CARABIDiT*:.

Carahus granulatus. A fifth known specimen with badly developed 
elytra of this very common insect, is made the occasion of a discussion 
on Ptery go-dimorphism in Carahi, analogous to that occurring in 
Jlemiptera; Kraatz, Z. c. p. 64. Puton, Pet. Nouv. ii. p. 137 [rightly] 
considers this and similar instances to be merely due to arrested develop- 
ment or individual anomaly. He has, however, found true dimorphism 
in Carahus clathratus and granulatus and Feronia vulgata, which are 
sometimes winged and sometimes apterous. Ocypus, Lathrohium, and 
Longitarsus are also referred to as exhibiting similar instances.

Damaster. Observations on the known species. Harold’s specimen of 
D. lewisi, Rye, apparently has even a shorter elytral mucro than typical 
specimens from the Recorder [which, instead of connecting the species 
with hlaptoides^ would still further remove it from that insect], and the 
permanency of the short and broad mucro in lewisi is substantiated.
