middles obviously piceous; dorsal line well impressed, very 
distinct, not abbreviated; anterior transverse line obvious 
in all its length, arquated; basal lines dilated, orbicular, 
obvious, with a few, small, sparse punctures within or rath- 
er near the base: elytra with slender strise; interstitial spa- 
ces flat, third with a puncture between the middle and tip; 
marginal and sutural edges towards their tips piceous; rudi- 
mental strise none, but instead of it is a puncture at base of 
the second strise: /ce^pale yellow. 
Length less than three twentieths of an inch. 
5. A. ohsoletusy Lark piceous ; strise of the elytra obso- 
lete. 
Inhab. Mexico. 
Body dark piceous, irapunctured : antennce, labrum and 
palpi honey-yellow ; thorax with pale piceous anterior and 
basal margins; lateral margin with eight or nine hairs ; dor- 
sal line almost obsolete ; basal impressions dilated, cval : 
elytra with the basal, exterior and apicial margins paler 
piceous ; strise obsolete, excepting the subsutural and late- 
ral ones ; a series of large punctures behind the middle of 
the exterior margin : feet pale honey-yellow. 
Length one fifth of an inch.^ 
BEMBIDIUM, Latr. 
1. B. inc^quale, Say, Journ. Acad. Nat. Sc. Vol. 3. p. 
it)i — Very closely allied to paludosum, Panz. and may pos- 
sibly be only a variety of that European species, neverthe- 
less it is somewhat smaller, the thoracic impressed lines are 
more distinct, particularly the transverse basal one and the 
strije of the elytra are more dilated and the punctures more 
obvious. As it is the analogue of paludosum it belongs to 
the genus Bembidium, as at present restricted. 
2. B. honestiim, Say, Trans. Amer^ Philos. Soc. When 
describing this species I stated that the elytral strise are 
‘^not obsolete behindJ^ This may be corrected by substitu- 
ting the phrase almost obsolete behind. The punctures of 
the strise are large and obvious at base, but are obsolete, or 
rather, entirely wanting on the posterior third. The exte- 
rior margin and epipleura are blackish green, 
* Count Dejeaii has done me the favour to send me the four Volumes of his 
“Species des Coleopteres” which have now been published. This work is in- 
dispensable to all those who study the Coleoptera. It contains the descriptions 
of a great number of North x\merican species, and has greatly facilitated my 
i‘xaminatiou of the insects described in the preceding part of this paper.
