WEST INDIAN CARABID^E IV: 
THREE NEW COLPODES 
By P. J. Darlington, Jr. 
Museum of Comparative Zoology, Cambridge, Mass. 
Two of the following three new species were the chief 
prizes in a small but interesting lot of Carabidse recently 
collected in the West Indies by Mr. Chester Roys. The third 
species was collected by myself in Haiti in 1934, but was only 
recently found to be distinct. 
Colpodes sellensis n. sp. 
Very Agonum-like (similar to Colpodes agonellus Dark, 
psyche Vol. 42, 1935, p. 187) ; piceous brown, appendages 
not distinctly paler. Head slightly less than % width pro- 
thorax. Prothorax about 1/3 wider than long ; base about % 
or slightly less wider than apex; posterior angles rounded, 
although sometimes a little irregularly so. Elytra oval, with 
broadly rounded humeri. Inner wings vestigial, not reach- 
ing beyond middle of second ventral segment. Other 
characters as in agonellus. Length 7.5 ; width 3 mm. 
(slightly ±). 
Haiti: holotype ? (M. C. Z. no. 23,013) and 1<? 2? para- 
types from La Visite and vicinity, Massif de la Selle, 5,000- 
7,000 ft. altitude, Sept. 16-23, 1934. 
This new species differs from agonellus in having the pro- 
thorax narrower, with slightly narrower base and more 
rounded posterior angles; elytra more oval and with more 
rounded humeri; and wing vestiges shorter (in 70 agonellus 
with vestigal wings the tips of the vestiges reach to above, 
or rarely just beyond or just short of, the third ventral 
segment) . 
Colpodes bromeliarum n. sp. 
Moderately elongate, somewhat flattened; shining blue, 
lower surface and appendages black, except legs bluish in 
some lights and antennae with segments 4-11 brown at sides.
