Body very dark green, impunetured ; head black, with hardly 

 any appearance of green ; antennas honey-yellow, the joints, ex- 

 cepting the first and second, with darker centres ; palpi and base 

 of the mandibles honey-yellow; labrum with a slight projecting 

 angle in the middle of the emargination ; thorax blackish green, 

 hardly narrower at base ; dorsal line indistinct, but more obvious 

 in the middle ; basal indentations dilated not profound ; lateral 

 edge dull honey-yellow ; posterior angles obtuse ; elytra obviously 

 tinged with green ; a little wider at base than the thorax ; striae 

 very slender, impunetured ; interstitial spaces flat, third space 

 with a puncture at three-fourths the length from the base ; lateral 

 edge near the tip and suture near the tip obscurely piceous ; tip 

 deeply and rather obtusely sinuous ; beneath black, the greenish 

 tinge hardly perceptible; feet yellowish; tarsi rather darker; 

 first joint of the anteriors of the male somewhat smaller than the 

 second ; these tarsi have beneath close set hairs. 



Length over seven-twentieths of an inch. 



This species has almost the Amara like form of some species 

 of Anisodactylus, in which genus I should have placed the spe- 

 cies but for the angle in the emargination of the mentum. It is 

 very closely allied to terviinahis Say, but is rather more robust, 

 the head and thorax are differently colored, the posterior lateral 

 margin is more depressed, &c. [434] It must resemble closely 

 H. agilis Dej., of which it may possibly be a variety. 



It was obtained by William Bennett, and presented to me by 

 Mr. Maclure. 



STENOLOPHUS Meg., Dej. 



S. CINCTUS.— Dark piceous; margin and suture of the elytra 

 honey-yellow ; feet pale yellow. 



Inhabits Massachusetts. 



Body blackish piceous; antenu® fuscous, three basal joints- 

 and labrum honey-yellow ; mandibles piceous, black at tip ; tho- 

 rax rather convex, a little narrowed behind gradually ; ba.se rec- 

 tilinear, ea^ side a little arquated to the posterior angles, which 

 are obvious but almost rounded; lateral edge but slightly 

 arquated, nearly rectilinear behind the middle, near the posterior 

 angle hardly perceptibly excurved ; dorsal line very distinct
