Pterostichus Johnsoni, n,sp. 
Elongate, depressed, parallel, shining black with a feeble purplish lustre ; pro- 
thorax quadrate, longer than wide, feebly narrowed behind, sides margined in th ir 
entire length and feebly sinuate, front angles rounded at tip, base sinuate, hind 
angles rectangular, basal impressions loag, deep and linear, outer ones very small. 
Elytra shining in the 9’, nearly opaque in the Q, feebly rounded on the sides, sinuate 
near the tip and separately rounded ; humeri rounded, strize very deep, impunctured, 
mter-tices rather costiform, Ist, 2nd, 4th, 6th and 8th equal straight, 3rd and 5th 
broader and seven or eight times interrupted ; the space between the 8th and the 
margin is still a little broader and the interrupted gth costa forms about 15 or 16 
tubercles. Prosternum narrowly margined between the coxz ; po-terior tar-i slender 
with the first 4nd second joints grooved in their entire length. Abdomen smooth, 
shining, last ventral segment with a semivircular impression in bolh sexes, somewhat 
deeper in the §*. Length, .65 to .67 in-h = 17 mm, 
Oregon, several specimens. Belongs to Dr. Leconte’s first division 
near //anc/us and is distinguished trom all the other species by its peculiar 
sculpture of the elytra, which recalls somewhat that of P. puncfalissimus, 
Randall. 
I take great pleasure in dedicating this beautiful species to my friend 
Prof. O. B. Johnson of the Washington University in Seattle, to whom 
entomological Science is indebted for the discovery of many new and 
rare species in Oregon and Washington Territory.
