North Africa, and the Atlantic Islands. 
44. Panagaeus quadrisignatus Chev. 
thomae Schaum. 
45. Coptia sauricollis n. sp. (PL 5, fig. 5.) 
Piceous black, shining, with rather inconspicuous pale 
pubescence; antennae {except the three basal joints, which 
are dark), palpi, and tarsi testaceous; tibiae and parts of 
femora more or less reddish. Head nearly smooth except 
irregularly bi-impressed between eyes; clypeus impressed 
each side, impressions joined by a fine, arcuate line ; mentum 
shallowly emarginate, with a pronounced rounded tooth in 
emargination ; antennae slender, apex of eighth joint reach- 
ing about to base of pronotum, third joint slightly longer 
than following ones. Prothorax very broad, much narrowed 
anteriorly, emarginate in front, bi-spinose each side at base ; 
lateral margins very deeply channeled anteriorly, gradually 
obliterated posteriorly near first spine; disk coarsely punc- 
tate, finely pubescent, surface between punctures shining. 
Elytra deeply crenato-striate ; intervals convex, shining, but 
with minute punctures bearing fine pubescence. Lower sur- 
face shining, only partly pubescent ; epipleurse below humeri 
impunctate and almost without pubescence; sides of pro-, 
meso-, and metathorax almost without pubescence, coarsely 
punctate; ventral segments with only comparatively fine 
punctuation except sides of basal segments with a few 
coarse punctures. Male tarsi not dilated. Length 5%-7 ; 
width 3-3% mm.

and 6 paratypes, including both sexes determined by dis- 
section, from Soledad (near Cienfuegos) Cuba, June, Nov. 
7 & 21 ; all collected by myself in flood debris. 
Coptia, previously known only from two species occurring 
in Cayenne, Venezuela, and Brazil, differs from Panagaeus 
essentially only in having the front tarsi similar in the two 
sexes ; secondary differences are that the antennae are more 
slender in Coptia, with proportionately shorter third joint,
