Carabids ; Ground-beetles. 



Several species of this group were found under stones, etc., but 

 they are mostly undetermined. J. M. Jones recorded under Platynus, 

 Anchomenus cincticollis (Say) Lee. and Agonum punctlforme (Say) 

 Lee, both of which are black species, found commonly in the 

 eastern United States. 



Mr. Mowbray sent in October a species of Anchomenus which Mr. 

 Schwarz thinks may be undescribed. It is 9 mm long, glossy bluish 

 black ; elytra strongly sulcate ; prothorax smooth, shining ; legs 

 dark brown ; antenna? brown, long and slender. 



Striped Ground-beetle {Agonoderus lineola (Fab.) Lee.) Plate xcix; 

 figure 14. 



A small, light rufous-yellow or brownish-yellow beetle with two 

 rather wide, blackish dorsal stripes on the elytra, not reaching their 

 tips, but extending forward on the hind part of the prothorax ; a 

 narrow and less distinct line of black along the outer margin ; pro- 

 thorax with a pair of small, round, black spots. Length, 0"' m . 



It is very common here, just as in the United States. 



Cicindelids ; Tiger-beetles. 



Cicindela tortuosa Dej. This North American species, which is 

 said by Jones, 1876, to be very common in summer, is the only Tiger- 

 beetle recorded. 



In addition to the species enumerated above, the following North 

 American Coleoptera were recorded by J. M. Jones, in 1876: 



Pristonyehus complanatus* a ground beetle, common and often 

 gregarious under stones; Hymenorus obscurus=Allecula obscura 

 Say ; rare. The latter is a species of the family (Jistellidai.\ 



Dr. Fr. Dahl (Plankton Exped., i, pt. 1, p. 108, 1892) has recorded 

 undetermined species of Olibrus, of the family Phalacridae, and 

 JExophthalmus Latr. The latter is a West Indian genus. 



A more careful search than we were able to make, and especially 

 in the summer, would doubtless result in the discovery of scores of 

 additional species. 



* This was also obtained by us, and it was sent in October by Mr. Mowbray. 

 Surface of body above and below, elytra, and legs, glossy bluish black ; thorax 

 nearly smooth, but with three shallow, broad depressions, convergent back- 

 ward; edges acute, thin, slightly upturned ; elytra with nine deep sulci, those 

 on the dorsal side wider than the intervals, becoming much narrower, with wider 

 ridges on the sides ; antennas long, dark brown ; posterior femora thickened, 

 smooth. Length, 13 mm . f According to Riley, it lives in the nests of ants
