The following three species are additions to the list of Jamaican 
Carabidae recorded in my earlier papers (Psyche Vol. 48 , 1941, pp. 
10-15; and Occasional Papers of the Museum of the Institute of 
Jamaica No. 8, 1953). 
Golpodes cavicola n. sp. 
Form of a slender Agonum (Platyrws ) , but with long head and 
long, slender appendages ; brownish piceous, margins of prothorax and 
elytra not paler, legs brownish piceous, antennae and palpi paler 
brown; moderately shining, elytra not much duller than head and 
prothorax; upper surface almost impunctate, with microsculpture 
lightly impressed, isodiametric on front of head, transverse on pro- 
notum and elytra. Head rather elongate, .84 and .83 width prothorax 
(in cf 9 measured) ; eyes rather large, moderately prominent; genae 
slightly shorter than eyes, oblique, not swollen; neck constriction 
indistinct; front convex, with normal, parallel impressions anteriorly; 
posterior supraocular setae present, between posterior edges of eyes; 
anterior supraocular setae absent; antennae long and slender but 
otherwise normal; mentum with an acute tooth. Prothorax sub- 
quadrate; about as long as wide (but appearing longer), width/length 
1.02 and 1.02 (in cf? measured) ; base about 1/10 wider than apex; 
apex slightly, broadly emarginate ; base almost truncate ; sides broadly, 
irregularly arcuate especially near middle of length, nearly straight 
and converging anteriorly, and nearly straight, converging, and 
usually slightly and broadly sinuate posteriorly; posterior angles nar- 
rowly rounded; lateral margins moderate, slightly wider posteriorly; 
both pairs lateral setigerous punctures lacking; disc normal and 
normally impressed ; basal marginal line entire, apical one interrupted 
at middle. Elytra about 2 X wide as prothorax, long, almost sub- 
parallel ; humeri prominent but broadly rounded, with basal margin 
entire and scarcely angulate at humeri ; sides almost straight and 
slightly diverging to about middle of length, then arcuate to weak sub- 
apical sinuations; apices bluntly angulate or narrowly rounded about
