ADRIMUS VIRIDESCENS. 
Loxandrus id. Bates; ante, p. 182. 
On re-examining the whole of my Loxandri, I find that this species 
has the peculiar transverse-linear form of the metasternal epimera 
characteristic of Adrimus ; and, on looking more carefully at the ¢ fore 
tarsi, I observe that they are not oblique. The species is therefore an 
Adrimus. It is distinguished from A. rufangulus (which it resembles 
in the rufous margins of the thorax) by its smaller size (8—3; lin.), 
and by its thorax being distinctly but slightly narrowed behind and 
much less punctured at the base. 
A common insect in the Amazons region.

approximatis, 4'% et 5' ante apicem interruptis. Long. 34 lin. ¢. 
The resemblance between the single specimen of this insect and 
the preceding species (of which I have half-a-dozen examples) is perfect 
in every respect except the disposition of the elytral strie; so that 
T am in doubt whether it is not an aberration, although no parallel case 
is known to me among the Carabide. In all the Adrim the striz are 
at equal intervals and deeply impressed, except the middle striw on the 
disc, which are a little fainter. 
Ega.
