54 MEMOIRS ON THE COLEOPTERA 



tarsi paler, castaneous. Length 10.0-11.0 mm., width 3.9-4.0 mm. 

 Colorado. Levette collection. One example is marked "Indiana" but 

 this is probably a mistake. 



Allied rather closely to obliqua but having more numerous strial 

 foveae and a feebler anterior transverse thoracic impression. 



Nebria testaceipes n. sp. Stouter than the preceding and more convex, 

 shining, dark rufo-piceous, the elytra clear castaneous; entire legs and 

 antennae pale testaceous; head relatively small, two-thirds as wide as 

 the prothorax, convex, smooth and unimpressed; antennae (cf) about 

 three-fifths as long as the body; prothorax three-fifths wider than long, 

 the sides rather broadly and strongly rounded, oblique and straight be- 

 hind, the sides rather broadly and strongly reflexed ; transverse impressions 

 very unequal, feebly punctured, the anterior obsolescent, the posterior 

 strong, with the lateral impressions deep and oblique; median stria very 

 fine and feeble; elytra oblong, parallel, with very feebly arcuate sides, 

 three-fifths longer than wide, fully one-half wider than the prothorax, 

 the humeri strongly marked though broadly rounded, the basal bead 

 meeting the marginal in a blunt angulation, so very obtuse as to be 

 scarcely evident; striae moderate, finely, not closely punctulate, the third 

 with three or four small setigerous foveae; intervals very feebly though 

 sensibly convex; legs long and slender. Length 10.0 mm.; width 4.1 mm. 

 British Columbia (Glenora), Wickham. A single male. 



This species, though the type may possibly be somewhat im- 

 mature, is readily seen to differ from obliqua in the relatively 

 much smaller head and prothorax, more oblong and less laterally 

 arcuate elytra, pale testaceous legs and other features of structure 

 and habitus. 



Nebria texana n. sp. More depressed and less parallel than in either 

 of the preceding or obtusa, rather shining, the elytra polished, black, 

 the legs also black throughout and the antennae blackish-testaceous; 

 head small, smooth, the anterior impressions feeble but evident and 

 widely separated; antennae three-fifths as long as the body; prothorax 

 nearly as in the preceding but with the sides more narrowly rounded 

 anteriorly and the oblique posterior part longer; elytra one-half longer 

 than wide, sensibly wider behind the middle than at base, the sides 

 broadly arcuate; humeri less evident than in others of this group, broadly 

 rounded, the basal and marginal beads meeting in an even curve and 

 without trace of junction or angulation; striae moderately fine, deeply 

 impressed and strongly but not very coarsely punctate, the third with 

 three or four setigerous foveae; intervals very distinctly convex; legs 

 slender but not very long. Length 10.0 mm.; width 3.9 mm. Texas. 

 A single male example. 



Quite distinct from any other of this group in its posteriorly 

 broadened elytra, more depressed surface, impressed and punctured 

 striae and entirely black legs.
