Synopsis
Excerpt from Geodephaga Britannica: A Monograph of the Carnivorous Ground-Beetles Indigenous to the British Isles
The generic characters employed in this work are chiefly borrowed and adopted from Erichson and Heer, or based upon Mr. Curtis's admirable dissections. The modern subdivisions of genera having proved unsatisfactory, being sometimes founded on almost imaginary differences, at any rate far from constant, are altogether rejected, and I have merely inserted the names Of the subgenera in brackets for the convenience Of those English entomologists who have been most accustomed to Stephens' arrangement, without meaning to attach to them any importance otherwise.
