and found specimens agreeing more or less with all the above de- 

 scriptions, but so connected by intermediate links that I feel com- 

 pelled to unite them. The two following may be distinct, but I 

 doubt it. 



Cnemalobtjs striatus, Waterh. Mag. N. H. 1840, iv. p. 358 

 {Odontoscelis). 



Cnemalobus substriatus, Waterh. I. c. p. 359 {Odontoscelis). 



Subfamily Licinin^e. 

 Eutogeneius fuscus, Sol. /. c. p. 255, t. iv. f. 8. 

 The only specimen I have ever seen of this species was found in 

 Valdivia, and is in the National Museum of Chili. 



Subfamily Sphodriis\e. 



Pristonychus chilensis. 



Pristonychus chilensis, Gory, Ann. Soc. Entom. Fr. 1833, p. 232 ; 

 Sol. I. c. p. 228. 



This species is placed by recent authors as a synonym of the 

 European P. complanatus. I can see little or no difference between 

 them ; yet I have hesitated to unite them. Common in Chile and in 

 the island of Juan Fernandez. 



Subfamily Anchomenin^e. 

 Anchomenus distinctus, Sol. /. c. p. 203 {Agonum). 

 Anchomenus dejeanii, Sol. I.e. p. 205 {Agonum). 

 Anchomenus cordicollis, Sol. /. c. p. 206 {Agonum). 



Anchomenus gayi, Sol. I.e. p. 207 {Agonum). 

 Northern Chili. 



Anchomenus ambiguus, Sol. I. c. p. 209 {Agonum). 



The name ambiguus was preoccupied by Erichson for a Tasmanian 

 species ; as this, however, proves to belong to a distinct genus 

 {Cyclothorax, W. Macleay), Solier's name may stand. This species 

 is found in Southern Chili. 



Anchomenus chilensis. 



Anchomenus chilensis, Dej. Spec. Gen. v. 724 ; Sol. I c p 

 208 (?) {Agonum). 



The commonest species of the genus in Central and Southern Chili. 

 Anchomenus melas, Sol. I.e. p. 210 {Agonum). 

 Nearly as common as the preceding in Central Chili. 



Anchomenus circumdatus, Erichson, Meyen's Reise, Ins. 

 p. 348. 



Scarce. Southern Chili.
