The description which follows this diagnosis, I. c, leaves it doubtful to what genus this should bo 

 referred. — D. S.

" Elle se rapproche des A. uliginosus et congener. Elle diSere de I'un ct de I'autre par I'abseuce de

\^A comparison with several other species follows this deseription.^ 



1187. Agabus glacialis, Hoch., Chaud. Euum. Car. p. 218. Caucasus. 



" Elongato-ovatvis, subdepressus, nitidus, nigro-piceus, ore, cum palpis, capite antice, thoracis elytro- 

 rumque margine inflexo, segmentorum abdominalium summis marginibus, tibiis tarsisque late ferrugineis ; 

 thoracis lateribus subrectis ; elytrorum punctis majoribus posterius irregulariter sparsis, anterius in series 

 ternas digestis." 



" Mas : el3rtris nitidioribus, obsolete reticulatis, punctis distinctius impressis." 



" Femiiia : elytris opacis, evidentius reticulatis, punctis minoribus."

" M. de Chaudoir a trouve cette espece pres du sommet des montagues d'Abbastouman, a 7,000 pieds 

 environ d'elevation, sous les pierres au bord des ruisseaux qui decoulent des amas de neige. (Juin)." 



This species probably will go into my second group near Agabus armeniacus (No. 671 ) ; the description 

 does not agree with the colour of that species. — D. S.

In the Munich Catalogue this is recorded as a variety of Agabus dilatatus, Br., (Col. dilatatus, No.
