LAcHNOPHORUS L#VICOLLIS, Reiche, Rev. Zool., 1843, p. 180. 
This small species, distinguished by its impunctate head and thorax 
and spotless elytra, seem to have a wide distribution in South America. 
Specimens in my collection from St. Catharine and Rio Janeiro in 
South Brazil, and from Ega, perfectly agree with Reiche’s description of 
New Granada examples. I suspect L. niger of Gory (from Cayenne) 
to be the same species; but, from the well-known and never failing 
inaccuracy of this author’s descriptions, no definite conclusion can be 
drawn regarding it; he mentions, however, the head as punctured, 
whereas in ZL. levicollis it is quite smooth. There are specimens from 
Cayenne in Mr. Brown’s collection, which agree precisely with Gory’s 
description, except that the elytra have on each side a row of large 
fover, a feature that may have been omitted by the describer. 
LACHNOPHORUS PICTIPENNIS (Chevr. M.S.), n. sp.—Gracilis, nigro-eneus, 
pubescens; antennarum articulis 4 basalibus (ceteris piceis) palpis pedibusque 
pallido-testaceis, geniculis fuscis ; capite punctato-scabroso, opaco; thorace 
capite angustiort, graciliter cordato, minus dense punctato, sub-nitido, utrinque 
sulco lato sub-marginali; elytris oblongis, striis exterioribus basin versus 
grosse crenato-punctatis, interstitiis confuse punctulatis, utrinque tri-foveatis, 
dimidio basali et sutura fere usque ad apicem testaceo-rufis, macula lateralt 
post medium nigra, postice fascia maculari albida marginata, apice flavo- 
testaceis ; abdomine apice rufescenti. Long. 2 lin. 
Mexico, from M. A. Boucard’s collection. The punctuation of the 
elytral interstices is not in a single distinct row as in L. elegantulus, but 
fine andconfused. The lateral sulcus of the thorax, besides colouration, 
&c., is a good distinguishing character. In my own collection and that 
of Mr. Edwin Brown. 
LacHNOPHORUS TESSELLATUS, Motschulsky, Bull. Mosc., 1868, 
221 (Stigmaphorus, id.). An ill-described species, apparently 
distinct ; found at Panama. 
LACHNOPHORUS TENUICOLLIS, Dej., Species Gen., v., p. 100. 
Dejean failed to notice that this species, described by him as a 
Bembidiwm, belonged to his own genus Lachnophorus. It is closely 
allied to L. pictipennis, but wants the lateral sulcus to the pronotum. 
The elytra are pale fulvo-testaceus, shining, with an indistinct dusky 
fascia behind the middle, preceded and followed by white spots. It 
is found in the most southerly provinces of Brazil. In my own col- 
lection and that of Mr. Edw. Brown.
