legs fossorial.
Lamellicornia.
B. Fourth and fifth tarsal joints anchylosed; the former very small; antennae filiform, rarely serrate, or feebly thickened externally.
Phytophaga.
Adephaga.
This series contains seven families, with but two of which we have to deal. The species are usually active, and their habits predaceous. They are separated in the following manner:—
Metasternum with an antecoxal piece, separated by a well marked suture, reaching from one side to the other, and extending in a triangular process between the hind coxae;
Antennae 11-jointed; hind coxae mobile and simple; habits terrestrial.
Antennae inserted on the front above the base of the mandibles. 
Cicindelidae.
Antennae arising at the side of the head between the base of the mandibles and the eyes.
Carabidae.
