This species was excluded from the genus Colpodes by Chaudoir. I find a label, in 



his handwriting, attached to a specimen in the Salle collection inscribed " gen. nov., 

 menti dente bifido ;" but the bifid mentum-tooth is not of generic value in the group 

 of which Colpodes forms part, Chaudoir himself, in his monograph of 1859, giving a 







■ 





great range of form of the tooth in his generic diagnosis. The shape of the fourth tarsal 



■ 

 ■ 



joint is probably the character which induced him to exclude the species, this joint

being simply emarginated, even in the anterior legs; but the tarsi agree with the more 



typical species of the genus in being rather densely clothed with setae beneath ; and the 



long legs and general form of the insect agree better with Colpodes than with Anchomenus. 

 The upper surface of the joints in the posterior tarsi is bisulcate, the sulci subdorsal 

 and approximated.

form to C. monachus, and differing very little, except

 ds the head, and more abruptly sinuated posteriorly, the widest part being near 



the middle and not anterior to it as in C. monachus
