Carabus (Hemicarabus) serratus Say 1823  

According to Lindroth (1961b) found on "open, gravelly ground, usually moraine, with sparse vegetation; at the foot of rock-falls, on railway embankments, in gravel pits, on sun-exposed wood-glades, with Chamaenerium angustifolium." The specimen collected on the Island by HSB was found at the cabin. These beetles are wing-dimorphic and apparently the long-winged forms fly. All our specimens are short-winged. They are both nocturnal and diurnal (Larochelle, 1975a). Only two specimens were found, on the Virginia shore, in 1912 (HSB) and on the Island in 1923 (HSB). There are no recent records. No teneral specimens seen. Mating occurs in June in Quebec (Larochelle, 1972e). Adults were collected in May and September. Lindroth (1961b) states that adults hibernate in Newfoundland. Total length, 16.0 to 24.0 mm (20.0).
