intervals, the nearly impunctate epipleura, and the more widely dilated 

 male tarsi. According to Horn's description the sixth ventral segment is 

 deeply longitudinally impressed in the female of Forsircemei. There is no 

 sign of such impression in the female of the present species, though in the 

 male of both this and tenuicorms the sixth ventral has a tine median 

 impressed line. The resemblance of this species to Bembidiian spectabik 

 is quite striking. 



Chrysobot/iris carfnelita, n. -sp. — Moderately elongate, feebly convex, 

 piceous-bronzed ; front ( $ ) green ; occiput, front margin of pronotum 

 narrowly, the front angles broadly, brilliant seneo-cupreous ; elytral 

 impressions more or less cupreous ; beneath blackish, with faint green- 

 bronze lustre, hind thighs aeneo-cupreous in apical half. Front nearly flat, 

 rather densely pubescent, uniformly densely punctate, occipital impressed 

 line a little elevated anteriorly ; clypeus with deep oval emargination, 

 arcuato-truncate each side. Antenuce bronzed, greenish at base, narrowed 

 externally, third joint barely as long as the two following. Prothorax 

 one-half wider than long, widest close to front angles, sides thence 

 convergent and straight except for a feeble median sinuation, nearly to 

 base, becoming slightly inflexed at the hind angles ; disk faintly impressed 

 along the median line, and with a slight impression each side of the middle 

 posteriorly ; punctuation dense, with a tendency to form transverse strigae 

 laterally, especially near the angles. Elytra J^ wider than the prothorax, 

 and about 3^ times as long, very nearly twice as long as wide, basal and 

 intra-humeral impressions well marked, a shallow rounded fovea just 

 before the middle, and two others at apical third ; inner costa distinct in 

 apical half; second costa shorter, extending backward from the antemedian 

 fovea ; surface densely punctate throughout ; side margin serrulate 

 posteriorly, tips conjointly rounded with slight sectional sinuation. 

 Prosternum lobed in front, densely punctate, and with rather long and 

 dense white pubescence. Metasternum and ventral segments densely 

 punctate at sides, less densely so at middle ; pubescence abundant, and in 

 well-preserved examples made more conspicuous by the presence of a 

 white efflorescence. Length, "j^^-S}^ mm. 



Arizona. Two examples are before me, one without definite locality, 

 the other from Hot Springs, collected by Barber and Schwarz. Both 

 examples are males, having the anterior tibiae arcuate, and with a rather 

 strong apical dilatation, above which the inner margin is distinctly notched
