786 SUPPLEMENT. 
Staphylinus discretus (p. 379). 
To the Mexican locality given, add :—Jalapa (Hoge). 
The example now received is, like the original one, in a very bad state of preservation. 
38 (a). Staphylinus nudicollis. 
Angustus, niger, capite prothoraceque supra eneis, subnitidis, vage fortiter, minus profunde punctatis, elytris 
abdomineque fuscis, opacis, hoc vix variegato, ad apicem fusco-ferrugineo, tarsis piceis. 
Long. 16 millim. 
Hab. Mexico, Pastepec (Flohr). 
Somewhat similar to S. antiquus, but with a peculiar sculpture of the head and 
thorax. The former is subquadrate, sparingly punctate, but between the larger 
punctures there are numerous minute ones. ‘The thorax is about as long as broad, 
sculptured like the head, except that the larger punctures are closer, and the minute 
ones less numerous; there is a definite, rather narrow, smooth space extending all 
along the middle. The scutellum is covered with black tomentum. The elytra are 
about as long as the thorax, very dull, with obsolete sculpture. The hind body is only 
very indistinctly variegate, but there are two somewhat curved and not contiguous 
darker marks on the middle of each segment. The male has a rather broad shallow 
excision on the hind margin of the last ventral plate. One example. 
MISANTLIUS (p. 393). 
3 (a). Misantlius rufipennis. 
Subdepressus, subopacus, niger, elytris, tibiis tarsisque ferrugineis ; dense punctatus. 
Long. 16 millim. 
Hab. Mexico, Yolotepec, Juquila (Lohr). 
Head broad, transversely suborbicular, very densely punctured. Thorax elongate, 
much narrower than the elytra, much narrowed behind, coarsely and very densely 
punctate. FElytra rather longer than the thorax, very finely, densely punctate, tawny 
red. Hind body slightly shining, not so densely punctate as the anterior parts. Legs 
slender; femora black, the tibie and tarsi ferruginous, the former darker towards the 
base. The front tarsi are a little dilated in each sex. The male has a small notch on 
the hind margin of the last ventral segment ; and the preceding segment is marked with 
a large shallow depression, the sides of which are fringed with long erect seta, and the 
base with similar but more densely-placed sete, which (in the example before me) are 
divided into three pencils. 
Four specimens of this distinct species have recently been sent me by Mr. Flohr.
