PRELIMINARY HAND-BOOK OF THE COLEOPTERA OF NORTH EASTERN AMERICA. By Charles W. Leng and Wm. Beutenmuller. (Continued from Vol. II, p. 190.) HARPALINiE. The members of this sub-family have the middle coxal cavities en-tirely closed by the central pieces of the meso and metasternum, the epimera not attaining the coxa. Head with setigerous puncture over the eyes. Thorax with setigerous puncture at the side and posterior angle, very rarely without the latter and still more rarely without either. Anterior tibiae always either obliquely sinuate or deeply emarginate within, the inner spur remote from the apex. They may be divided into two sections, Harpalina? bisetosre, head with two-supra-orbital setigerous punctures, and Harpalinae unisetosas, which have the head with one supra-orbital setigerous puncture. The former contain all the genera from Panagceus to Helluomorpha inclusive, and the latter from Brachynus to Anisodactylus inclusive. Panagseus Lat. Head more or less constricted behind the eyes and dilated to a semi-globular neck ; clypeus prolonged beyond the base of mandibles, which are scissor-like ; antennas arising from under a distinct frontal ridge, three basal joints glabrous ; terminal joint of maxillary palpi aris-ing obliquely from the preceding joint; sides of elytra narrowly in-flexed ; thorax globular, abruptly constricted behind. Found under stones during May and June. Synopsis of Species. Elytra black with two large red spots extending from the margin to the first or second striae, crucigerus Elytra red with a transverse black band behind the middle and another at the tip, fasciatus
