CYMINDIS LATH. 



C. cribrata, nigro-picea, setis brunneis pilosella, capite thoraceque cribratim punctatis, hoc 

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

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

 stitiis uniscriatim punctatis, antennis palpis pedibusque ferrugiueis. Long. -36. 



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

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

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

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

 almost smooth. 



ANISODACTYLTJS DF..T. 



A. chaleeilS, oblongus, clongatus, supra asneus, tliorace latitndine vix breviore, punctulato, parce 

 punctato, lateribus postice vix sinuatis, angulis posticis rectis, basi utrinque punctato, profundius 

 impresso, elytris striatis, interstitiis planis alternatira parce punctatis ; subtus nigro-aeneus, anten 

 nis basi rufis; tibiis anticis calcare extrorsum paulo dilatato. Long. 37. 



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

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

 between the strise of the elytra. 



HARPALVS LATE. 



DI. impotens, piceo-niger, oblongus, thorace transverse, lateribus rotundatis, margine angusto 

 reflexo, angulis posticis rotundatis, basi ntrinque vagc foveato, versus angulos subdepresso, elytris 

 ad marginem subtiliter pubescentibus, striis 2nda, 5ta, 7maque parce punctatis, interstitiis fere 

 planis, cpiplcuris, ano pedibusque piccis, antennis pedibusque rufo-piceis. Long. 38. 



LEC. Journ. Acad. Nat. Sc. Philad. 2d ser. IV, 14. 



One specimen found at El Paso by Dr. Thos. II. &quot;Webb. This species is narrower 

 than Harpalus (SelenopJiorus) stigmosus, and iripennis, 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. obi i I IIS, oblongus, piceo-niger, nitidus, thorace latitudine sesqui breviore lateribus rotundatis, 

 postice subangustato, angulis posticis obtusis, raargine piceo postice anguste subcxplanato, basi 

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

 antennis palpis pedibusque ferrugineis. Long. 5. 



One male, Santa Fe, Mr. Fendler. Resembles //. compar Lee. (pensylvanicus J 

 Say; licolor J 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. 



H. (allav, oblongus, piceo-niger, nitidus, thorace latitudine sesqui breviore lateribus rotundatis, 

 ante medium subangustato, angulis posticis rectis subrotundatis, margine lateral! 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. herlicagus Say, 

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