70 MR. E. C. REED ON CHILIAN COLEOPTERA. [Jail. 6, 



to Variopalpus, does not differ from the latter, which is therefore a 

 group generally distributed in America, being found in the Atlantic 

 States, in California, in New Granada, Brazil (undescribed species), 

 and in Chili. 



Omostenus maculipennis, Sol. I. c. p. 130. 



If I am right in my determimation of this species, it is nothing 

 but a Dromius with the shoulders of the elytra very narrow. One 

 specimen, taken by Dr. Krause, is in the collection of H. W. 

 Bates, Esq. 



Subfamily CymindiNjE. 



Cyanotarus andinus, Germ. An. Univ. Chile, 1855, p. 386 

 (Byscolus). (Plate XIII. fig. 2.) 



This species differs much from Cymindis in the thicker posterior 

 part of the head ; more elongate, cordate thorax, with straight hind 

 margins ; rounder shoulders of the elytra ; very short metastemum, 

 and hairy palpi. Hence it is necessary to form a new genus for its 

 reception. 



It occurs in the high Andes, in Central Chili, and is rare. 



Subfamily CalleidinjE. 



EUPROCTUS FASCIATUS, Sol. 1. C. p. 132. 



Occurs in the Andes. 



Calleida tibialis, Bridle 7 , D'Orb. Voy., Ins. 15. 



Baron Chaudoir states that he received a Chilian specimen of this 

 insect from Solier. 



Subfamily Lebiin^e. 



Lebia azurea, Sol. /. c. p. 146. 



Appears to be very rare. I have seen but two specimens of this 

 species.
