COLPODES.

5. Colpodes robustus.

Eab. Mexico {Putzeys x ).

This species was not met with either by M. Salle or Herr Hoge 



6. Colpodes lugens. 



Feronia lugens, Dejean, Sp. Gen. Col. v. p. 771 \ 



Colpodes lugens, Chaudoir, Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. 1878, p. 297 2 . 



Dyscolus anchomeno'ides , id. ibid. 1845, p. 440. 



Colpodes anchomeno'ides, id. ibid. 1859, p. 310. 



Var. Colpodes brunnipennis , id. ibid. 1859, p. 312 ; 1878, p. 297 s . 



Eab. Mexico 1 2 3 , near the capital (Flohr). 



This species is confounded with the following (C. mcestus) in the Salle collection ; and 

 a similar mistake was made by no less an authority than the late M. Putzeys, to whom 

 I sent a set of Colpodw to name. There is no real difficulty, however, in distinguishing 

 the two, C. lugens having a much broader head, and resembling a Platysma, whilst 

 C. mcestus has the oval head and general form of Anchomenus § Agonum.

Eab. Guatemala \ Quezaltenango (Champion). 



I refer with some hesitation an example taken by Mr. Champion to this species, with 

 the description of which it agrees except in colour, being deep black with a silky gloss, 

 instead of " brun fonce presque noir."
