Psyche 
[December 
of S with sculpture consisting of a large, apical, 
transverse impression, oval in form, and bounded 
anteriorly by a curved, transverse, subcariniform 
elevation 2. diligendus Chd. 
Outer basal fovea usually (not always) well im- 
pressed, about i/2 as long as inner fovea; basal 
angles of prothorax sometimes rounded apically, 
sometimes more abrupt; scultpure of $ last ven- 
tral not as described above 3 
3. Last ventral of $ with a small but distinct, 
bubble-like, sometimes slightly transverse tuber- 
cle set in the middle of a weak, post-median de- 
pression; basal angles of prothorax rounded api- 
cally. 
Striae of elytra lightly impressed apically (Ga.) 
3a. mancus Lee. (typical) 
Striae deeply impressed at apex (N. C.) 
3b. mancus plethorus subsp. n. 
Last ventral of $ weakly impressed behind the mid- 
dle, with a weak, transverse elevation at extreme 
apex; basal angles of prothorax scarcely rounded 
apically. 
Sides of prothorax distinctly, usually strongly, 
sinuate before the base; body stouter (Black 
Mountains region, etc.) 4a. carolinus n. sp. 
Sides of prothorax not or very slightly sinuate 
before the base; form more slender (Smoky 
Mountains) 4b. carolinus fumorum subsp. n. 
“ Monoferonia ” idahoanus Csy. (1924, p. 78), of which I 
have apparent topotypes, is nothing but Pterostichus spho- 
drinus Lee. It lacks the dorsal puncture of the elytron 
characteristic of the subgenus Monoferonia (Casey himself 
notes this fact), and belongs in subgenus Hypherpes, or 
possibly Leptoferonia, by Casey’s own table (1918, pp. 
320-) .
