Sascid mediand undatd, lunuléque apicali flavis ornatis, punctis majoribus 
viridescenti-flavis, ad basin congregatis, prope suturam serie dispositis, 
punetulisque multis nigris in fasciis flavis oculo armato distinguendis, 
notatis ; pedibus metallescentibus, corpore subtus, fronteque crinibus albis 
crassis instructis. 
Long. corp.4—5 lin. ; elytr. lat.ad basin 13 lin., post medium, 2 lin. 
Habitat : Chile merid. 
C. Gormazi much resembles C. chilensis, but is a much broader in- 
sect, and has much more sharply defined edges to the central band of 
the elytra, which is fringed in C. chilensis. 
C. peruviana occurs in Northern Chile in an almost rainless region ; 
C. chilensis in Central Chile, on the plains of Santiago, with an average 
rain-fall of 18 days per annum; C. Gormazi in a region of nearly con- 
stant rain, of at least 250 days per annum.

Genus Eucarvs, 
Leconte, Trans. Amer. Phil. Soc., x., 1863, p. 386. 
The characters of this pretty and curious little genus are well given 
by Leconte, who mentions its affinity towards the Lachnophori, but 
originally placed it in the same group as Stenolophus and Harpalus, from 
which he since removed it. According to him, the mentum is untoothed. 
The species are free from the punctuation which characterizes nearly 
all the rest of this sub-family, some of them being quite smooth and 
glossy. The pubescence of the antenne begins at the base of the third 
or even the second joint, and these organs are remarkably long and ro- 
bust, in most species as long.as the body. The palpi have a short 
downy pubescence. The oe varies much in shape, but in all its 
forms shows a distinguishing character in its lobed hind margin, similar 
to that of the Lebie. The elytra are broadly truncated and the mar- 
ginal stria is continued along the apical margin. The eighth stria is 
generally deepened as it approaches the apex, in a similar way to the 
genera of the Tachys group. 
The species have the same habits as the Bembidiine and the other 
Lachnophorine, being found, coursing nimbly, on the moist, muddy 
margins of pools.
