CYiWIl\»IS Latr. 



Ct cribrJ»<J»3 nigro-picea, setis brunneis pilosella, capite thoraceqne cribratim punctatis, hoc 

 tenuiter marginato convexo, latitudine longiore, postice inodice angustato et lateribus parum 

 sinnato, angulis posticis obtusissimis, elytris cyaneo-micantibus, striis foveatim punctatis, inter- 

 stitiis uniseriatim punctatis, antennis palpis pedibusque ferrugineis. Long. -36. 



Nebraska : one specimen collected by Mr. Burke. Resembles in character C. 

 pihsa, but the thorax is longer, and less rounded on the sides anteriorly: the 

 punctures of the stria3 of the elytra are less closely placed, and those of the inter- 

 stices almost form single rows. G. neglecta Hald. is smaller, and has the head 

 almost smooth. 



A11ISODACTYL.US Dej. 



A, clialcciis, oblongus, elongatus, supra aeneus, thorace latitudine vix breviore, punctulato, parce 

 punctate, lateribus postice vix sinnatis, angulis posticis rectis, basi utrinque punctato, profundius 

 impresso, elytris striatis, interstitiis planis alternatim parce punctatis ; subtus nigro-seneus, anten- 

 nis basi rufis; tibiis anticis calcare extrorsum paulo dilatato. Long. -St. 



Santa Fe, Mr. Fendler. Allied to A. alternans Lee. (Ann. Lye. Nat. Hist. 5, 184), 

 but differs in color, and in the less dense punctuation of the alternate spaces 

 between the strife of the elytra. 



HARPALIJS Latr. 



H. iinpotens, piceo-niger, oblongus, thorace transyerso, lateribus rotundatis, margine angusto 



reflexo, angulis posticis rotundatis, basi utrinque vage foveato, versus angulos subdepi'esso, elytris 

 ad marginem subtiliter pubescentibus, striis 2nda, 5ta, "Imaque parce punctatis, interstitiis fere 

 planis, epipleuris, ano pedibusque piceis, antennis pedibusque rufo-piceis. Long. "38.

One specimen found at El Paso by Dr. Thos. 11. Webb. This species is narrower 

 than Harpalus [Selenophovus] stlfjmosus, and irlpennis, and is readily distinguished 

 by the rounded angles of the thorax and by the elytral punctures being smaller 

 than in the first mentioned species, 



H. oblitlli^, oblongus, piceo-niger, nitidus, thorace latitudine sesqui breviore lateribus rotundatis, 

 postice subangustato, angulis posticis obtusis; margine piceo postice anguste subexplanato, basi 

 utrinque vage impresso punctulato et rugoso, elytris striis tenuibus, secunda unipunctata ; subtus, 

 antennis palpis pedibusque ferrugineis. Long. '5. 



One male, Santa Fe, Mr. Fendler. Resembles H. compar Lee. {pensylvanicus J 

 Say; hkolor % Dej.) in general appearance, but by the thorax being slightly nar- 

 rowed at base, with only a few small punctures around the basal impressions, it is 

 abundantly distinct. Fully matured specimens will probably be found to have the 

 under surface of the body dark colored. 



II. fallax, oblongus, piceo-niger, nitidus, thorace latitudine sesqui breviore lateribus rotundatis, 

 ante medium subangustato, angulis posticis rectis subrotundatis, margine laterali postice subex- 

 planato, cum basi tota punctulato, ad basin utrinque late foveato, elytris striis bene impressis, 

 2nda unipunctata; antennis, palpis, pedibusque ferrugineis. Long. -42. 



Santa Fe: Messrs. Kern and Fendler. The elytra are slightly sinuate at tip, 

 and those of the female are dull. This species is of the size of H. herUvagus Say, 

 but the thorax is distinctly narrowed before the middle, and is much more punc-
