moderately shining black, faintly greenish, elytra shining 
greenish coppery with margins not different; lower surface 
and appendages piceous. Head just under 2/3 width pro- 
thorax; eyes only moderately prominent; genae short and 
oblique; antennie average, apex of 8th joint reaching about 
to base prothorax; mentum tooth acute. Prothorax rather 
large, rounded, just over 1/3 wider than long; sides 
arcuate from base to apex, margins rather narrowly ex- 
planate; posterior angles broadly rounded; base and apex 
finely margined; disk only slightly convex, middle line fine, 
transverse impressions vague, basal foveae rather shallow, 
not sharply defined, only vaguely continued anteriorly, not 
punctate. Elytra moderately (about 2/5) wider than pro- 
thorax; humeri somewhat rounded but not narrowed ; sides 
arcuate-subparallel at middle, sinuate before the apices, 
which are subindependently rounded; striae moderate, not 
less impressed at apex, impunctate; intervals flat or slight- 
ly convex, polished, 3rd 3-punctate, first puncture attached 
to 3rd, 2nd and 3rd punctures to 2nd striae. Metepisterna 
with outer edges a little more than % longer than anterior ; 
inner wings full. Tibiae not sulcate on outer edge; hind 
tarsi with 3 basal joints sulcate each side, 4th not sulcate, 
shallowly emarginate ; front tarsi not sulcate, at least in $ . 
Length 7.7 ; width 3.0 mm. 
Haiti: holotype $ (M. C. Z. no. 22023), unique, from 
summit plateau Mt. Basil, 4,700 ft., Sept. 9; among loose 
dead leaves on the ground in a small patch of wet cloud 
forest. 
Very similar to Agonum cupripenne Say, especially to 
the form with the disk of elytra not strongly coppery, and 
probably an actual relative of that species, but broader and 
more depressed, with pronotum scarcely metallic, and with- 
out the conspicuous, bright green, strongly alutaceous mar- 
gin of elytra of cupripenne. 
Chlaeeius jamaicae n. sp.

bluish or green, elytra dark dull bluish; lower surface in- 
cluding epipleurae dark; appendages testaceous, antennae a 
little brownish. Head % width prothorax ; eyes prominent ; 
front very finely punctulate; clypeus and labrum slightly
