Long. 6 lin. 
Elongate elliptical, varying from pitchy black to castaneous. The lateral margins of 
the thorax are gradually more and more explanated from the anterior to the posterior angles, 
and the base has no distinct punctuation. The punctures of the elytra are somewhat variable 
in number and position : there are 5 or 6 on the third interstice, mostly close to the second stria, 
and 2 or 3 on the fifth near the base ; but in some examples the fifth interstice has a row of 
punctures near the apex, like the seventh. The margin has a number of minute faintly 
impressed punctures. 
Hah. — Eour examples, two without locality, one marked a (from the Knen-lun?), and the 
fourth from the Pangong Yalley : this last has the thorax distinctly more dilated behind and 
more rectangular hind angles than the others. 
31. — Harpalus qtjadricollis. 
Selenophorus quadricollis, Kollar & Redtenb. in Hiigel’s Kaschmir, iv, 2, p. 502. 
Hob . — Between Dras and Leh. The authors above cited placed this species in the genus 
Selenophorus from the simple emargination of the mentum. M. Putzeys, in his recent mono- 
graph of the genus Selenophorus, has rightly restricted it to those Earpalince which have the 
alternate interstices of the elytra pluripunctate and other characters in addition to the simple 
mentum, and which belong all to America. S. quadricollis is very closely allied to the typical 
Harpali, but probably a separate genus wall eventually be formed for the species with edendate 
mentum. 
32. — Stenolophtjs morio.

Hab . — Yangi Hissar ; one example. The species occurs in the neighbourhood of the Cas- 
pian and in Mesopotamia near Bagdad. The Yangi Hissar specimen has a smaller and rounder 
thorax than is presented by Bagdad examples with which I have compared it. 
33. — Sphodrus INDUS. 
Chaudoir, Bull. Mosc. 1852, i. p. 67, 
II ah. — Murree; one example.
