A. E. Verrill— The Bermuda Islands. 797 
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) Lec. and Agonum punctiforme (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™™ long, glossy bluish 
black ; elytra strongly sulcate; prothorax smooth, shining; legs 
dark brown ; antenne brown, long and slender. 
Striped Ground-beetle (Agonoderus lineola (Fab.) Lec.) 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, 6™™. 
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: 
Pristonychus complanatus,* a ground beetle, common and often 
gregarious under stones; Hymenorus obscurus= Allecula obscura 
Say; rare. The latter is a species of the family Céstellide.t 
Dr. Fr. Dahl (Plankton Exped, i, pt. 1, p. 108, 1892) has recorded 
undetermined species of Olibrus, of the family Phalacride, and 
Exophthalmus 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; antennz long, dark brown; posterior femora thickened, 
smooth. Length, 13™™. + According to Riley, it lives in the nests of ants
