Harrington, Esq., for my unique specimen of this interesting 9 a, represents the labrum; 9 b, the mandible; 9 c, the maxillae; 9 d, the labium, &c.;9 e, the antennae; 9 f, the fore tarsus; Q g, one of the hind tarsi. * Dr. Erichson has had the rare tact to discover and demonstrate, in an article pubhshed in Wiegmanns Archives, that the singulargenus Pteroloma (Holoenemis, SchilUug), placed by all preceding authors amongst the Carabidaj next to Nebria, belongs to tliefamily SUphidae, near to Catops and Agyrtes. The insect above described fully confirms this relation of Pteroloma. ElaphropusCarahoides of Motchoulsky, Bull, Mosc. 1839, t. 5. fig. E. seems also to possess an affinity with these PLATE XLII.
