AGONID/E. 27 



(30) 6. * Agonum simile. Similar Agonum. 



A. f simile J nitidum, subtus aterrimum, supra aneo-niyrum ; eJytris stria suturali reliquis profundiori, quiuque-foveolalis. 

 Similar Agonum, glossy, underneath very black, above a little bronzed ; elytra with the sutural furrow deeper than the rest> 

 marked with five punctiform impressions. 



Length of the body 3| lines. 



Locality not stated. 



DESCRIPTION. 



Body glossy, underneath very black, above black slightly bronzed. Antenna? scarcely longer 

 than the prothorax : prothorax rather longer than broad; basilar impressions roundish, impunctured : 

 elytra more bronzed than the head and prothorax, lightly furrowed ; furrow adjoining the suture 

 more depressed and deeper than the rest ; in the space between the second and third furrows are 

 five equidistant punctiform impressions, the two anterior adjoining the latter furrow, and the three 

 posterior the former. 



This little species greatly resembles A. seminitidum. It is however much smaller, less bronzed, 

 the prothorax is longer in proportion, the sutural furrow is deeper, and the impressions are differently 

 arranged. 



(31) 7. * Agonum affine. Kindred Agonum. 



A. ( affine] atrum, nitidum; prothorace subquadrato, maryine laterali postice vix reflexo ; ehjtris eeneo-niyiis, trifbveolatis ; 



trochanteribus quatuor anterioribus rubris. 

 Kindred Agonum, black, glossy ; prothorax rather square, with the lateral margin scarcely refiexed at the base ; elytra 



slightly bronzed with three punctiform impressions ; four anterior trochanters red. 



Length of the body 4 lines. 



Locality not stated. A single specimen taken. 



DESCRIPTION. 



Body very black, glossy. Antennae longer than the prothorax : prothorax of the same width 

 before and behind so as to appear more square than in the preceding species; its lateral margin at 

 the base is likewise not refiexed, the dorsal channel is slight, and the disk is minutely and trans- 

 versely wrinkled ; the basilar impressions are deep, large, and circular : elytra very slightly bronzed ; 

 three punctiform impressions, the anterior one adjoining the third furrow, and the two posterior the 

 second, are visible in the usual situation : the four anterior trochanters are of a deep red.
