Body glossy, underneath very black, above black slightly bronzed. An- 

 tennoe scarcely longer than the prothovax : prothorax rather longor than 

 broad; basilar impressions roundish, impuuctured : elytra more biunzed tiian 

 the head and prothorax, lightly furrowed ; furrow adjoining the suture more 

 depressed and deeper than the rest ; in the space between the second and 

 third furrows are live equi-distant punctifoini impressions, the two anterior 

 adjoining the latter furrow, and the three posterior the former. 



This little species greatly resembles A. set/iiaitiduiu. It is however umeh 

 smaller, less bronzed, the prothorax is longer in proportion, the sutural fur- 

 row is deeper, and the irapressiuns are diiferently arranged. 



31. Agonum AFFiNE, Kirh)/. — Length of budy 4 lines. Locality not 

 stated. A single specimen taken. 



Body very black, glossy. Antennae; longer than the prothorax : prothorax 

 of the same width before as behind, so as to appear more square than in the 

 preceding species ; its lateral margin at the base is likewise not reflesed, the 

 dorsal channel iS slight, and the disk is minutely and transversely wrinkled ; 

 the basilar impressions are deep, large and circular; elytra very slightly 

 bronzed ; thret punctiform impressions, the anterior one adjoining the third 

 furrow, and the two posterior the second, ire visible in the usual situation ; 

 the four anterior trochanters are of a deep red. 



[28] 32. AciONiJM ERYTIIROPUM, Kirh)/. — Length of body 4} lines. 

 Taken in Canada by Dr. Rigsby. 



Body glossy, black underneath, above bronzed. Antennae black, with 

 the scape dusky rufous ; prothorax tinted with copper, uboordate, with 

 rounded angles; basilar impressions round and deep; elytra tinted with 

 copper, with throe nearly obrfoleie punctiform impressions in the usual situa- 

 tion ; legs dusky rufous ; in other respects it resembles A. seminio'dum. 



This species appears to be the American representative of A. p'trumpinic- 

 tatum. It is, however, larger, more bronzed, the impressions are less distinct 

 and more distant, and the thio'hs as well as the tibiaj and tarsi are rufous 



[The name of this species is pre-oceupied by Dejean'ii P. er/zthropns ; it is 

 plar?ed with a mark of interrogation in l)r. LeCotite's list under Platyviii 

 subcordatiis, Lee.] 



33. Ago.num cuPUirENNE. So)/. Plate I. fig. 1. — Many specimens of 

 this lovely Agonum. were taken in lat. 54*^. It appears to be very common 

 in iSorth Aujcriea, where it represents yl se.rpunctatum, the most brilliant 

 of our European species, 'but which A. cupnyenne far exceeds in beauty. 

 [Quite common in Western Canada]
