Curabiies cimentus, sp. n. 



I sent a sketcli of this elytron to Mr. S, A. Eohwer at the 

 U.S. National Museum, afckii)g him to .'■•eek the advice of tlie 

 >veil-ki own Coleopterists Messrs. Barber and ScliAvarz. He 

 ■writes : — " I have shown your drawing of the beetle elytron 

 to both Barber and Schwarz, and they agree that it might be 

 that of a good many different groups of beetles, but suggest 

 it may })0ssibly be that of a Carabid, and possibly a Har- 

 palid. The ' sulcus Ms produced by the fold of the elytron, 

 and the .'mall part is ' epipleurite ' of the elytron turned 

 under. It is probable that the view you have is from the 

 under side. By the study of a detached elytron of any large 

 Carabid you can easily see what the ' sulcus ' of the fossil 

 really is."

Elytra about 10 mm. long and slightly over 4 wide, the 

 actual apex not preserved, but evidently very obtuse ; margins 

 subparallel ; sculpture as in 19011, ^Yilh the same curved 

 sulcus.

I had referred this and the previous species to Hydro- 

 p?dUtes, but follow the opinion as to possible affinities 

 expressed by Messrs. Barber and Schwarz.
