[525] COLEOPTERA 173 



Nebria kincaidi Schwarz sp. nov. 



Elongate, apterous, shining, black, elytra metallic cupreous-green, 

 mouth-parts and tarsi piceous, two spots between the eyes red. Head 

 large, smooth, frontal impressions obsolete ; antennae long and slender, 

 reaching beyond the middle of the elytra. Thorax small, wider than 

 long (but much less so than in the allied species), sides moderately 

 rounded in front, strongly sinuately narrowed toward the hind angles 

 which are distinctly acute and slightly prominent posteriorly ; lateral 

 margin moderately wide and moderately reflexed ; transverse and 

 longitudinal impressions well-marked ; along the side margin and 

 within the basal impressions sparsely rugosely punctured. Elytra ob- 

 long-oval, humeri entirely obsolete ; sides regularly arcuate; at their 

 widest portion distinctly wider than the thorax; transversely and longi- 

 tudinally more convex than in the allied species ; surface rather deeply 

 striate, striae faintly punctulate, interstices slightly convex, third stria 

 with three dorsal punctures, seventh interstice interrupted by two or 

 three larger punctures. Prosternal process feebly lanceolate, horizon- 

 tal, with distinct marginal line which is interrupted at the tip. Met- 

 episterna short, about one-fourth longer than their width in front. Ab- 

 domen with the rows of ambulatorial setae double. Length 11 mm. 



Described from a single specimen collected at Farragut Bay, June 

 5, 1899. 



Type.— Cat. no. 5258, U. S. National Museum. 



On account of the obliteration of the elytral humeri this species be- 

 longs to group I of LeConte ' and is allied to N. ingens and N. ovipen- 

 nt's, from either of which it is at once distinguished by its narrower 

 and more convex form and the bright metallic color of the elytra.
