66 MR. E. C. REED ON CHILIAN COLEOPTERA. [Jan. 6, 



Subfamily Bembidiin^s 



Tachys hydrophilus, Germ. I. c. p. 389 (Bembidium) . 



From the description, this species no doubt belongs to the almost 

 universally distributed genus Tachys. 



Pericompsus circuliformis, Sol. /. c. p. 165 {Bembidium). 

 Common in Central Chili. An undoubted Pericompsus. 



Bembidium (Philochthus) nigritum, Sol. 1. c. p. 167. 



Bembidium (Peryphus) maculiferum, mihi (Gemm. & Har. 

 Cat.). 



Bembidium maculatum, Sol. I. c. p. 163 (name preoccupied). 



Bembidium (Peryphus) spiNOLiE, Sol. I. cp. 161. 

 Southern Chili. 



Bembidium (Peryphus) chilense, Sol. I. c. p. 162. 



I have met with no Peryphus so small as the present one, stated by 

 Solier to be only 1 1 line long. The description in other respects 

 applies to some specimens of P. spinolce ; and as the sizes given in 

 Gay's work are seldom exact, I believe this insect is a variety of P. 

 spinolce. 



Bembidium derbesti, Sol. 1. c. p. 163. 



The affinities of this species are towards the European B. pallidi- 

 penne and kusteri ; but it has narrower elytra. 

 Central Chili. 



Bembidium (Lopha) elegans, Sol. 1. c. p. 164. 



Bembidium (Notaphus) punctigerum, Sol. I. c. p. 166. 



Common on the mountains of Aculeo. 



Bembidium (Notaphus) servillei, Sol. I. c. p. 174. 



Bembidium (Notaphus) aubei, Sol. I. c. p. 174. 



Found on the banks of the river Mapocho, in Central Chili. I 

 have seen it under the MS. name of B. nivale ; but I believe that it 

 has never been redescribed under that name. 



Bembidium varicolor, mihi. 



Bembidium convexiusculum, Sol. I.e. p. 171 (1849), nee convexi- 

 usculum, Motsch. 1846. 



This species approaches the true Bembidia (B. impressum &c.) 

 in form ; but it does not belong to the same group, the eighth and 

 ninth stria; being close together. The colour is variable, bright 

 brassy, dark bronze, and bluish green. 



Common in Southern Chili.
