NOTES ON CARABIDE, AND DESCRIPTIONS OF NEW SPECIES (No. 6). 
BY EL. (OW, BA Es, wey 8, 
Genus Lacunopuorus, Dej. 
LACHNOPHORUS L#TUS, n. sp.—L. eleganti (Brullé) affinis ; capite et thorace 
rufis, hoc basi olivaceo-ceneo ; el ytris olivaceo-ceneis, marginibus, macula elon- 
gata humerali, et triente apicali, flavo-testaceis ; antennis pedibusque flavo- 
testacets, illis apice paululum obscurtoribus; corpore subtus nigro-ceneo, thorace 
lateribus abdomineque apice rufo-testacets ; capite latitudine thoraci equali, 
oculis prominentibus ; thorace cordato, sub-nitido, subtilissime rugoso-punctu- 
lato, elytris capite thoraceque conjunctis duplo longioribus, amplis, creberrime 
granulatis, punctato-striatis, apice obtuse rotundatis ; corpore toto flavo pu- 
bescenti. Long. 4 lin. 1 exempl. 
The pale marks of the elytra (which, however, are doubtless vari- 
able) consist of a lateral border, entire from the middle of the base to 
the apex, but enlarged at the shoulders, into an elongate spot occupying 
four or more interstices, contracted in the middle into a marginal line, 
and expanding at the apex into a Spot occupying nearly a third of the 
elytron ; this apical spot is dusky in the middle and dentated on its 
anterior edge. The elytra have no large punctures or fovee. The 
species much resembles Anchonoderus concinnus, of Reiche, differing 
chiefly in colours.

LACHNOPHORUS NEICOLLIS, n. sp.—L, leeto proxime afinis,differt solum 
capite thoraceque viridi-ceneis nitid is, hoc marginibus anguste, illo epistomate 
. . . . . . . ae 
et partibus oris, flavo-testaceis ; antennis pedibusque flavo-testaceis ; elytris am- 
plis, quadrato-ovatis, ceneis, marginibus pallidis, pone humeros dilatatis 
Jasciamque brevem interdum formantibus, apud apicem in maculam magnam, 
medio infuscatam, expansis. Long. 35 lin. 8 9. 6 exempl. 
The head and thorax are very finely punctured, and the elytra 
densly granulated as in L. letus. The thorax is very small compared 
with the bulk of the body, and is more dilated in front and contracted 
behind than in Z. letus. 
St. Paulo and Ega, Upper Amazons, in moist places at edge of the 
river, under detritus, abundant, and offering no variety tending to con- 
nect it with LZ. letus. Coll. Ed. Brown, Bates, and others.
