 oblongus, niger; capite hsvi; thorace magis quadrato, antice minus late rotundato, basi et in foveis 

 profundis crebre punctato, disco fere lsevi sicut in 0. ckrysopleuro ; elytris nigris opacis leviter viridi- 

 tinctis, margine et interstitio nono seneo-viridibus, minus profunde punctulato-striatis, interstitiis minus 

 convexis punctulatis ; antennis, palpis tarsisque piceo-rufis ; protboracis et metatboracis episternis parce

One example only, which seems specifically different from the greenish or blue 

 colour- varieties of C. chry sopleurus by the rather flatter interstices and opaque surface 

 of the elytra.

Chlaenius aberrans (p. 42). 



Chlcenius aberrans, Chaudoir, in Oberthur's Coleop. Novitates, i. p. 36 (1853) . 



To the Mexican localities given add: — Michoacan (Flohr). 



* 



Chaudoir places this species, so different from all other American Chlcenii, in a small 



Indian and African group, its nearest Central- American allies being C. ruficauda, 

 herlaceus, and cursor. 





6 (a). Chlaenius planulatus. (Tab. XIII. fig. 9.) 



G. aberranti affinis et similis, differt tborace latiore et subtilius punctato, elytris multo subtilius striatis, inter- 

 stitiis planis. Niger, opacus; capite, thoracis lateribus elytrorumque marginibus viridi-aBneis ; frontis 

 lateribus, colloque (haud depresso) punctatis ; thorace postice minus quam in 0. aberranti angustato, passim 

 discrete baud grosse punctato ; elytrorum striis haud impressis, interstitiis minute punctatis, 9° angustiori, 

 striaque 9 a antice obliterata ; corpore subtus punctato, medio lseviore. 



Long. 8| lin. S 2 • 



Hab. Mexico, Ciudad in Durango (Forrer). 



Has all the structural peculiarities of C. aberrans, so accurately described by Chaudoir, 

 but is distinguished by the elytral striae being scarcely at all impressed, and the thorax 

 behind being much broader.
