PSEUDABARYS. 



Pseud abarys, Chaudoir, Bull. Mosc. xlvii. p. 99 (1874). 



Six species were enumerated by Chaudoir as belonging to this genus, which is 

 similar in range to Abaris. Although very closely allied to Abaris, it differs in the 

 tarsal claws being simple. 



The lateral margin of the elytra is interrupted 



apex, and a plica 01 

 the breach along th 



sharp 



for a short 



from the apical edge of 



face, a character which proves the genus to bel 



the Pterostichinse rather than the Platy 



Its nearest ally in the New World 



probably Ojpliryogaster ; b 



Chaudoir points out, it approximates more closely to 



such

as Orthomas of the Mediteri 



Simodontus and Ceneus of the 



Australian, faunas.
