rufous especially the basilar ; angles rounded ; basilar impressions single, 

 round and punctured : el^'tra lurid or dirty yellow, witb a large blaokish 

 cloud or blotch beyond the middle : legs dull rufous, thighs darker. [In- 

 cluded by LeContc, he- cit.. under B. badupernus, Hald., a species taken at 

 Grimsby, Out., by Mr. Petiit.J 



69. Treciius [Bradycellus] flavipes, Kirl//. — Length of body 2J 

 lines. Many taken ia Lat 51'^. 



[48] Body picoous, glossy. Head undciUeath, nose, mouth, and oral 

 organs — except the palpi which are pale yellow — and antennae rufous ; three 

 first joints of the latter paler than the others : prothorax rufous, rather 

 longer than wide, between square and obcordate j basilar impressions single, 

 very slight, punctured, and black : elytra rufuus, with a broad black stripe 

 adjoining the suture and parallel with it ; furrows rr.ther deep, impunctured : 

 legs pale yellow. 



N.B. — In the majority of &pccipieus tho black stripe of the elytra is very 

 faint, and in some ovanescont, and the impressions as well as the rest of the 

 prothorax rufous. [Previously described as B. rupestris, Say. — Ent. Works 

 ii. 505. Very common in Canada.] 



70. Trechus immunis, Kirhy. — Length of body If lines. Two speci- 

 mens taken with the preceding species. 



Similar to T. flavipes but smaller, the nose is piceous, the thorax is more 

 dusky; dorsal channel iudi.stinctj basilar impressions deeper and impunc- 

 tured : elytra dark piceous with merely the bead of the lateral margin rufous ; 

 the furrows also arc more lightiy drawn : legs darker. [Le Conte, loc. cit., 

 states that he has not identified this species, but that it is perhaps Stenolo- 

 phus cams, Lee., though the description is scarcely sufficient to warrant the 

 placing of the latter in synonymy.] 



71. TuEcnus [Bradycellus] similis, A7r6y. — Length of body 3i lines. 

 Two specimens taken in Lat. 54°. 



Body black, glossy. 3louth reddish yellow ; palpi yellow ; upper-lip and 

 mandibles rufous, the latter black at the tip ; antennae dusky-rufous, three 

 first joints more yellow : prothorax between obcordate and square, with the 

 whole of the base distinctly and grossly punctured ; basilar impressions 

 shallow ; limb of the prothorax is reddish-yellow, the disk is occupied by a 

 large square black spot : the suture, lateral margin, and apex widely, and 

 the inner base of the elytra, are reddish-yellow ; [49] adjoining the suture 

 is a broad black stripe not reaching tho apex ; the furrows are rather deep 

 End impunctured; and in the usual situation, a little beyond the middle, a 

 punctiform impression is adjacent to the second furrow : the sides of the 

 fore-breast, the anus and the legs, are reddish-yellow.
