Labelled Harpalus cyanellus, Chaud. (MS.), in the Salle collection, but a true Aniso- 

 dactylid, with a tooth in the emargination of the mentum ; and the name had already 







been used in the same genus. The variety with flattened elytral interstices is named

Harpalus agonoderus, Chaud., in the Salle collection. As other allied species (e. g. 

 A. mexicanus) vary considerably in the degree of convexity of the interstices, I think 





this can only be an extreme form of A. cyanippus.

The 



of the upper surface is often very faint, especially in the specimens 





from more southerly localities. In Mexico the elytral 



sometimes much 





flatter than the ordinary form described by Dei 



It appears to be 



y common 



species in Mexico and Central America, and differs from the typical Anisotarsi 

 compact and convex form.
