Harris has just published (1839) a memoir on Cychrus in the Jioston Nat. Hist. Soc. Transactions, in which he suggests that the different genera separated therefrom ought to be expunged.] A second division is formed of those species which have also the body robust, generally vsingless, hut with the mcntiim furnished with an entire or bifid tooth, and the mandibles armed with one or two teeth situated at the base; the thorax is in the form of a truncated heart; the abdomen is often oval. Tefflus, Leach, has the labrum entire, and the tarsi are alike in both sexes. T. MegerM, nearly two inches long. From the coast of Guinea. The last joint of the maxillary palpi is very large, and hatchet-shaped. [M. Brulle* has removed this genus to the group containing Fanagaus, with which it agrees in the majority of its characters.] Procerus, Meg., has the labrum bilobed, with the tarsi alike in both sexes. Carabus scabrosus, Fabr. &c. All these species are of large size, entirely black or blue, or green above, with the elytra very much chagrined. Tii. \ inhabit the mountains of the east of Kurope, Caucasus, Libanus, &c Proerutta, Bon., lias the labrum bilobed, and the tooth of the notch of the mentum bifid ; the fore tarsi of the males is dilated.
