A. soror differs from the widely distributed South- American A. seriepunctata only by 

 its rather smaller size and slightly narrower thorax, and cannot be considered more 

 than a feebly differentiated local variety. A. batesii (Putz.), from the Amazons, is 

 another local form having rather shorter and broader elytra. The A. constricta of the 

 same group is distinguished by its much more convex thorax ; the following is another 



* 



member of the group*, differing from the rest by its elongate form. 



5. Ardistomis educta. 



A. seriepunctatce afflnis, sed multo longior. . Elongata, nigro-senea, partibus oris, antennis pedibusque rufo-

 angustato, dorso antico minus convexo ; elytris elongatis integre et argute striatis, stria suturali haud

I refer a single example of a small insect with broad th 



and Dyschirius-like 



aspect to this species, the description of which is too vague to enable one to fix it with 

 certainty.
