M. Rene Oberthiir kindly compared specimens of A. nugax with M. de 



types of C. neglectus, with which he found them to 



agree. 



The species 







C. neglectus also in the Salle collection. It is a small species of the meestus group, 



■ 



resembling much an Anchomenus, from which genus it barely differs in tarsal structure ; 





the penultimate joints, however, are a little enlarged and emarginated. The species 

 had been previously distributed (together with the following) by MM. Salle and 

 as Anchomenus misellus (Chaud. MS.).
