One hundred and sixty species of this remarkable genus, in which the arboreal type 

 of the family Carabidse reaches its highest development, have been described, excluding 

 the genus Agridia, of which six or seven species are known. Their head quarters are 

 the great forests near the equator in South America, the number of species diminishing 

 on approaching the tropical limits north and south. None have been found in tempe- 



w 



rate North America, or far south of the tropic in South America ; and no member of 

 the subfamily is known out of the American continent.

One example only. 



Agrees so nearly with Steinheil's description of his A. palmata from Colombia, that 

 I should have concluded it to be the same species, were it not for the difference in the
