Figs. 4, 22 
Trechus schwarzi : Barr 1962:74, in part. NOT Jeannel 1931:437. 
Etymology. — Latin scopulosus , “craggy; ” a reference to the type locality. 
Description. — Differs from T. s. schwarzi in smaller size, less prominent 
pronotal hind angles, deeper longitudinal striae of elytra; aedeagus 
slightly smaller, more arcuate, apical knob more prominent. Length 3.4- 
3.9, mean 3.6 mm. Sides of pronotum less deeply incised before hind 
angles, which are small, sharp, and usually more or less right. Inner two 
or three elytral striae distinctly and moderately impressed, outer striae 
progressively obsolescent. Aedeagus 1.25-1.29, mean 1.26 mm long, simi- 
lar to that of nominate schwarzi but more arcuate, consequently shorter; 
parameres slightly shorter; apical knob much more prominent. 
Type series. — Holotype male (American Museum of Natural History — 
AMNH) and 18 paratypes, below summit of Craggy Dome, elevation 
5600 feet (1700 m), Buncombe County, North Carolina, 22 July 1960, T. 
C. Barr and M. C. Bowling. 
Measurements (in mm). — Holotype male: total length 3.9, head 0.81 
long X 0.84 wide, pronotum 0.71 long X 1.05 wide, elytra 2.33 long X 
1.67 wide, antenna 1.92 long. 
Distribution. — Known only from the Black and Great Craggy moun- 
tains and the adjacent Blue Ridge, in Buncombe, McDowell, and Yancey 
counties, North Carolina. Additional specimens, not made paratypes, 
were collected on Mt. Mitchell, elevation 6600 feet (2000 m), in the Black 
Mountains; and on the Pinnacle, elevation 5200 feet (1600 m), where the 
Blacks join the Blue Ridge, near the Buncombe-McDowell-Yancey 
county corner. 
Trechus (Trechus) schwarzi saludae , new subspecies 
Figs. 5, 24 
Etymology. — Derived from Saluda, a town near the type locality. 
Description. — Resembles T. schwarzi scopulosus in smaller size, less 
prominent hind angles of pronotum, deeper longitudinal striae of elytra; 
aedeagus smaller than in T. s. schwarzi or T. s. scopulosus , weakly arcuate 
and with small apical knob as in nominate schwarzi. Length 3. 4-3. 7, mean 
3.5 mm. Pronotum and elytra about as in T. s. scopulosus. Aedeagus 1.08- 
1.16 mm long, weakly arcuate, apical knob small, apex rather sharply 
deflexed.
