West Indian Carabidse 
195 
humeral marginal line strongly angulate (arcuate in 
jsegeri and allies) ; subapical sinuation slight; apices inde- 
pendently narrowly rounded; striae moderately impressed, 
impunctate ; intervals a little convex, 3rd with 2 punctures, 
near middle and % from apex, basal puncture missing. 
Lower surface and characters of tibiae and tarsi as described 
for sub cor dens, except 4th joint hind tarsi not at all more 
lobed externally than internally. Length 11 ; width 3.6 mm. 
Haiti: holotype $ (M. C. Z. no. 22005), unique, from 
summit Mt. La Hotte, about 7,800 ft., Oct. 16, 1934 ; under 
a deeply buried stone in damp, mixed forest. 
A very distinct species, though related to the jsegeri 
group. The absence of the anterior dorsal puncture of 
elytra is probably not a character of much significance, for 
the puncture is absent in one specimen of my series of 
subcordens and is known to be either present or absent in 
at least one other Colpodes, haptoderoides Bates of Mexico 
(Trans. Ent. Soc. London 1891, p. 252). 
Colpodes punctus n. sp. 
Moderately elongate and depressed ; dark brown, append- 
ages a little paler; rather shining, elytra not duller. Head 
4/5 width prothorax; eyes moderately prominent; gense 
oblique, not prominent; 2 supra-ocular setae each side; an- 
tennae moderately elongate, 7th joint about opposite base 
prothorax ; mentum tooth slender, pointed. Prothorax 
rather small, rounded-subquadrate, barely wider than long ; 
base very slightly lobed at middle, rounded-oblique at sides, 
slightly wider than apex ; sides evenly, not strongly rounded, 
margins very narrowly explanate, anterior lateral seta 
missing; basal angles rounded-obtuse; base and apex finely 
margined ; disk with middle line fine but distinct, transverse 
impressions vague; basal fovese moderate, rounded, with 
usual vague anterior extension, punctate-rugose, base of 
pronotum behind transverse impression also rugulose. 
Elytra much (about 3/4) wider than prothorax, moderately 
elongate; humeri distinct; sides nearly parallel at middle, 
slightly sinuate before apices, which are irregularly, almost 
conjointly rounded; disk rather depressed; strise moderate, 
inner ones faintly, outer ones much more distinctly punctu- 
late ; intervals flat or slightly convex, 3rd 3-punctate.
