(52) 2. * Amara nsL^auALis. Unequal Amara. 



A. fincequaUsJ nigra, nitida, supra nigro-anea ; antennis articulis duobus primis rufis ; prothorace poslice utrinque bisulco : 



elytris striatum interstitiis inaqualibus. 

 Unequal Amara, black, glossy ; above black-bronzed ; two first joints of the antennae rufous ; prothorax at the base with 



two furrows on each side ; interstices of the furrows of the elytra uneven. 



Length of the body 4 lines. 



Several taken in Lat. 54°. 



DESCRIPTION. 



Very like A. vulgaris, but the two first joints of the antennas are rufous ; the basilar impressions 

 of the prothorax are not so deep ; and the interstices of the furrows of the elytra are convex and 

 uneven, in other respects there is little difference between them.

Feronia impuncticollis. Say. Amer. Trans. N. S. ii, 36, 3.

Taken in Lat. 54°. 



DESCRIPTION. 



This differs from its two predecessors principally in having the three first joints of the antenna; 

 nearly yellow : the tibias and tarsi also are dark piceous, as are likewise the clavicles or anterior coxa?, 

 and the trochanters : the interstices of the furrows of the elytra are plane.
