The lobe of the thorax that covers th£ neck (which is not 
easily detected unless it be detached from the body, on ac- 
count of a transverse impression extending across), and the 
bifid penultimate joint of the tarsi, are strong characters to 
mark the genus Lehia , which contains 2 British species. The 
rare and beautiful one figured is a native of France and Italy ; 
and the specimens in the British Museum were taken, it ap- 
pears by a memorandum of Dr. Leach’s, near Oakhampton 
House, Somersetshire. 
Carabus crux-minor Linn., the other species found in our 
country, although less rare, is very seldom met with. It is 
said to be taken under stones in June ; in August also it has 
been found upon trees in Coombe Wood; and I remember 
Mr. Brightwell of Norwich taking one out of a tan-pit at Ly- 
mington, Hampshire, where it had probably been conveyed 
with the bark : This insect is figured by Olivier, tab, 4. Jig . 41. 
a, b, ; and by Panzer, fascicle 16, plate 2. 
Anemone nemorosa (Wood Anemone) is figured with the 
insect.
