FAMILY ANOBIDÆ. 
{190.] 253. ANOBIUM FOVEATUM A?réy.—Length of body 2 lines. 
A pair taken in Lat. 65°. 
This species very closely resembles 4. striatum, of which it may be 
regarded as the American representative. It differs principally in having 
a rather large excavation in the middle of the elevated back of the pro- 
thorax, the sides of which are armed with a triangular tooth or promi- 
nence. 
The male is obscurely rufous, both above and below, the female is 
browner above. [Taken in Canada by Mr. Billings. Belongs to the 
genus Hadrobregmus. |
