Colpodes cychrinus n. sp. 
Rather large, broad, subdepressed ; black, moderately 
shining, elytra scarcely duller, appendages red-piceous. 
Head relatively narrow, between and 3/5 width pro- 
thorax, structure as in christophe. Prothorax wide, about 
45/100 wider than long; base truncate, about 1/3 wider 
than apex; sides rather strongly arcuate throughout, with 
margins even broader and more strongly explanate than in 
christophe; posterior angles obtuse, but only very narrowly 
rounded; base and apex finely margined; disk about as in 
christophe. Elytra not much (*4, more or less) wider 
than prothorax, rather short, not or faintly sinuate near 
apex; strise a little shallower, intervals flat or nearly so; 
otherwise as in christophe. Characters of lower surface 
and legs (?) as in christophe except hind trochanters 
( $ ) only about 1/3 length femora, broad and not tuber- 
culate at apex. 
Haiti; holotype $ (M. C. Z. no. 22002) and 2 $ para- 
types, all with the same data as the types of christophe. 
Closely related to christophe, but the prothorax is strik- 
ingly different in shape, and the hind trochanters are not 
modified in the $ and probably not in the $ , for in the 
three species I know with modified S trochanters (chris- 
tophe, marcus, and ivolla) there is a corresponding but 
slighter modification in the 2 . 
Colpodes jaegeri (Dej.) 
Dejean 1831, Spec. Coleop. 5, 728 (Anchomenus) 
Chaudoir 1859, Ann. Soc. Ent. France (3) 7,315 
Chaudoir 1878, l. c. (5) 8,280 & 300 
Darlington 1934, Psyche 41, 92 (in key) 
Haiti: summit of Morne Tranchant, Massif de la Selle 
(but not main range), about 6,000 ft., Nov. 11, 1934; 4 
specimens, both sexes. These agree very well with Dejean’s 
and Chaudoir’s (1859) long descriptions. 
Colpodes subcordens n. sp. 
Moderately broad, average convexity; black, moderately 
shining, elytra not duller (whole surface sometimes ob- 
scured by a thin, tenaceous coating of foreign matter) ;
