with the basal fovete of the prothorax double, distinct, and well 

 sei^arated, veiy feebly punctured ; elytra strongly sinuate towards 

 the tip; hind tibia ^ sliglitly curved, not pubescent on the inner 

 face. It is of the size of ixterstitialis, and very nearly related to 

 it, but more depressed, and witli deeper protlioracic basal fovere, 

 and seems to be what I incorrectly determined as L/Evipennis 

 Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. 1855, 353. 



33. A. disco7^s Kirby =r ciialcea Dej., has the hind angles of the 

 prothorax sharply defined, the base of the prothorax is not punc- 

 tured, and the sides not explanate ; it seems therefore to be A. 

 CHALCEA Dej. 



34. A. LiEviPENXis Kirb}' is a small species of bright bronze 

 color, with the sides of the prothorax not explanate, basal foveae 

 distinct, strioe of el^-tra fine, not deeper behind ; antennne appa- 

 rently^ entirely black, hind tibia? 9 not pubescent on inner side. 

 Size of European A. coMMUNis, but quite distinct. I have de- 

 scribed this species as erratica Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. 1855, 353. 



35. A. PALLiPES Kirby. Correctlj' determined in my cabinet. 

 Narrower and more convex than angustata Say, with the basal 

 foveas verv distinct. 



36. Iso2-)leurus nitidiis \\ Kirby is Amara subtenea Lee. The 

 mentum tooth is not etnarginate and but slightly impressed at tip. 



31. T. macleayi Kirby is a Selenophorus allied to S. stigmosus 

 but with the basal angles of prothorax rectangular. Probably 

 from the Antilles, certainly not East Indian. 



38. Miscodera AMERICANA Mann. (coll. Chaudoir) is very simi- 

 lar to M. IIardyi Chaud., but is smaller, more bronzed, witli more 

 globose and narrower prothorax, and elj^tral stri.ne still more 

 obliterated. 



39. DiCyELUS scuLPTiLTS Say. The more convex and shining 

 northern race of this species has been named intricatus by Baron 

 Chaudoir. 



40. D. ambiguus Fertd, not different from opacus Fertd, and 

 rejlexus Lee. 



41. Badister peUatus \ Dej. The insect mentioned as the Ameri- 

 can variet}' of this species is B. flavipes Lcc. 



42. Licinus silphoides. Two specimens of this insect from 

 North American turpentine are in the Oxford Museum. I have 

 seen several which were taken alive in Massacliusetts ; so that it 

 must be regarded as fairlj' introduced into our fauna.
