140 ENTOMOLOGICAL NEWS. [May, 'O2 



New Mexico. Mr. Cockerell has sent me a single specimen 

 of this species. The specimen is slenderer than most apicalis, 

 the ventral scopa is white and the wings clear, not margined 

 apically with fuscous, though in other respects approaching 

 the form of apicalis with darkly haired sixth segment. Mr. 

 Cockerell describes this pubescence as "purplish-ferruginous," 

 but in the specimen he sends me it is quite black, perhaps 

 somewhat purplish, which may indicate that here also, as in 

 apicalis, there may be considerable variation.

Georgia ; Florida ; Texas. Mr. Cockerell's record of gibbosus 

 in New Mexico is erroneous, as I have shown elsewhere. 



The author desires to express his thanks to Messrs. Hen- 

 shaw, Ashmead and Cockerell for favors received in connection 

 with the present paper.

 Cychrus andrewsii Harr. 



Some time ago I captured a large female of this handsome as 

 w 7 ell as rare species in Brown's woods, which is very peculiar. 

 The striae of the elytra are replaced by an interrupted, uneven 

 and semi-tuberculate surface, very similar to Carabus intricatiis 

 of Europe, otherwise it is the same as the regular Pennsylvania 

 form of this species. 

 Pterostichus vinctus Lee. 



On Sept. 24th, 1900, I captured a very interesting example 

 of this species at Baldwin Station ; the specimen is a female in 

 the genitalia, but the right tarsal joints are male on the fore foot, 

 while the left fore foot tarsal joints are female in character. 

 Platynus extensicollis Say. 



Of this, though not rare, yet a very pretty carabid, I took 

 quite a number in damp localities in dried-up creeks, but by 

 chance I came onto a little sunny embankment, or "wash-out,"
