only a little narrower than the anterior part of the thorax: the abdomen | 
is reddish only at the extreme apex, and there is no appearance of 
a transverse groove on the ventral segments. The thorax is rounded 
and narrowed anteriorly, but the sides from the middle to the base are 
straight. | 
I have retained for my own collection only one example of this 
species, which is peculiar to the banks of the Tapajos, Amazons. 
ABARIS NOTIOPHILOIDES, n. sp.—Oblongo-ovata, cupreo-cenea, nitida, 
partibus oris, antennis et pedibus flavo-testaceis, ventro rufo-piceo ; capite 
thorace paulo angustiori ; thorace transverse quadrato, basi utringue grosse 
denseque punctato et bifoveolato ; elytris profunde striatis, interstitio 3° ceteris 
duplo latiori, stria abbreviata nulla ; ventro haud transversim sulcato. 
Long. 23—2} lin. Lat. 1lin.g ?. 5 exempl. 
The wide and glossy 3rd insterstice of the elytra, and the promi- 
nent eyes, remind one of the species of Wotiophilus. There is, however, 
no other resemblance between the insects. 
Found at Ega, Amazons, in company with A. robusta. 
ABARIS STRIOLATA, n. sp.—Oblongo-ovata, cupreo-cenea, nitida ; partibus 
oris, antennis, ventris apice et pedibus flavo-testaceis ; capite thorace paulo 
angustiori ; thorace transverse quadrato, bast utrinque impunctato, distincte 
bifoveolato ; elytris fortiter striatis, interstitiis subcequalibus, stria abbreviata 
basali valde notata et elongata ; ventris segmentis 4—d transversim sulcatis. 
Long. 2} lin. Lat. elytr. 14 lin.g 2. 3 exempl.

Closely resembling the preceding in general form and colour, but 
differing in many essential points, especially the absence of punctuation 
from the hind angles of the thorax, and the equal width of the elytral 
interstices, &e. 
Found in company with it at Ega, Amazons. 
-ABARIS TACHYPOIDES, n. sp.—Fuacies Tachypi Bembidiidarum, elon- 
gata, capite thoracis latitudine, oculis valde prominentibus ; enea, nitida, 
partibus oris, antennis et pedibus flavo-testaceis ; thorace angustiori, guadrato, 
lateribus preecipue antice valde rotundatis, basi toto sparsim punctato, 
utringue bifoveolato ; elytris sulcato-striatis, interstitiis subceequalubus : ventris 
segmentis intermediis transverse sulcatis. 
Long. 22 lin. Lat. elytr. 1 lin. g. 2 exempl. 
A slender species, with large head, prominent eyes, and thorax’ 
not wider than the head, and much rounded on the sides, especially 
anteriorly. The facies is that of the species of Tachypus. 
Rare, at Ega; Amazons.
