Descriptions of New Species. 

 Bembidium lengi new species. 



Form oblong, slightly elongate, feebly convex; color dark nigro-aeneous 

 tinged with green, shining, the elytra dark brown with a small, indistinct 

 spot on the third interval about one third from the base, an angulate band 

 just behind the middle and a subapical area blackish, color paler between 

 the latter marks forming a more or less distinct pale angulate band one third 

 from the apex; palpi, basal joint of the antennae and legs reddish brown. 

 Head and thorax alutaceous, the latter smooth at the middle ; head slightly 

 wider than the thorax at apex, the latter rather convex, subquadrate, less than 

 one half wider than long, as wide at base as apex, apex truncate, median line 

 impressed and slightly dilated, abbreviated before and behind, transverse im- 

 pressions distinct, basal impressions broad, bistriate, all impressions rugose ; 

 sides with the margin very narrowly reflexed, arcuate in front and sinuate 

 behind, hind angles subrectangular, strongly carinate. Elytra distinctly wider 

 than the thorax, oblong ovate, striae entire, impressed, strongly punctate, more 

 finely behind the middle ; intervals convex, the third with the first dorsal 

 puncture about one third from the base, the second two fifths from the apex. 

 Beneath black shining. Length 4.75-5.5 mm., breadth 1.75-2. 15 mm.; one 

 male, Cochrane, Ont. ; six males, four females, Ausable Lakes, Essex Co., N. Y. 

 This species belongs in the group XII variegatum of Mr. Hay- 

 ward's synopsis and resembles closely B. indistinctum Dej., from 

 which it may be distinguished by its more strongly convex thorax 

 with median line impressed and slightly dilated and sides more 

 strongly arcuate and sinuate and by the impressed and more coarsely 

 punctured elytral striae. I take pleasure in naming this interesting 

 species for Mr. C. W. Leng, who has given me much assistance in 

 the study of beetles. 



Colon elongatum new species. 



Oblong, slightly elongate, not broader in front, dark piceous brown, head 

 and thorax darker, feebly shining, rather coarsely but not densely pubescent. 

 Head rather densely punctured. Antennae slightly passing the middle of the 

 thorax, basal joints not paler, club rather stout, five-jointed, terminal joint 

 broadly rounded at tip, but not obtuse. Thorax about one fourth wider than 

 long, sides arcuate, rather strongly narrowed at one fourth from the base, 

 base truncate, hind angles obtuse and narrowly rounded, shining, densely 

 muricate-punctate. Elytra as wide at base as thorax, widest near the middle 

 somewhat broadly rounded behind, sutural striae fainter near the base, pufic-
