48. Pterostichus (Poecilus) chalcites (Say). 
49. Loxandrus nocticolor n. sp. 
Of average form for Loxandrus ; shining black, without 
evident iridescence; tarsi, palpi, and basal joints of anten- 
nae partly or irregularly rufous. Head normal for genus ; 
clypeus and front anteriorly longitudinally impressed each 
side; mentum tooth moderate, rounded truncate apically as 
usual. Prothorax a fourth or a third wider than long (by 
measurement) ; margin moderate, not wider or more ex- 
planate basally; sides almost evenly rounded from apex to 
base; base obliquely rounded each side to the very obtuse 
basal angles ; disk rather flat ; median line fine, abbreviated 
at both ends ; basal foveas deep, linear, about a third length 
of prothorax; base near foveae finely, sparsely punctate. 
Elytra rather convex, deeply striate ; striae impunctate ; in- 
tervals convex, third with puncture on inner edge before 
middle. Front tarsi of male with joints obliquely dilated. 
Length lO 1 /^ mm. 
Holotype $ (Museum of Comparative Zoology no. 19512) 
and 1 $ paratype from Soledad (near Cienfuegos) Cuba, 
Oct. 21, taken in flood debris.

and perfect smoothness of the elytral striae make this an 
unusually well characterized species. 
50. Loxandrus celeris (Dej.). 
cub anus Tsch. 
cruentatus (Chev.) (Stenolophus ) . 
For some time I have suspected the identity of Stenolo- 
phus cruentatus Chev. with this species, and recently Mr. 
K. G. Blair has compared a specimen sent to him with 
Chevrolat’s type (at Oxford) and confirmed my suspicions. 
51. Loxandrus crenatus Lee.
