scutellum non attingente, luteis; prothorace intra latera impresso, subtilissime coriaceo, versus latera 
punctulato ; elytris seriebus 4 punctulatis. Long. 53, lat. 3 mill.” 
The description which follows this diagnosis, J. c., leaves it doubtful to what genus this should be 
referred.—D. S. 
1185. Agabus foveolatus, Muls., Op. Ent. XI, p. 177. France. 
“ Oblongo-ovalis, vix convexus, postice depressiusculus, subtilissime punctulato-substrigosus, subtus 
nitidus, supra subopacus, niger; thoracis disco leviter bifoveolato; elytris fuscis, extrorsum gradatim 
fusco-ferrugineis, margine inferiori ferrugineo ; antennis pedibusque ferrugineis, femoribus nigris. Long. 
0,0072 (84 1.)—Larg. 0,0061 (22 1.).” 
“ Elle se rapproche des A. uliginosus et congener. Elle différe de l’un et de Vautre par l’absence de 
taches rouges sur le vertex ; elle s’éloigne du premier, par son prothorax noir, excepté le rebord marginal, 
par ses cuisses noires: du second, par toutes ses cuisses noires: de tous les deux par les deux petites 
fossettes du disque de son prothorax. ” 
Found in the Basses Alpes at 2,000 métres of elevation. 
1186. Agabus fuscoznescens, Regt., Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. (v) VII, p. CXLVIII. Austria. 
“A. sturmi, Gyll. sat affinis: vix convexus, subtiliter reticulatus, nitidus, fusco-niger, vix senescens, ad 
prothoracis elytrorumque latera vage rufescens, subtus niger, cum abdominis segmentis postice vix ferru- 
gineo-limbatis ; antennis crassiusculis, omnino testaceis ; capite maculis duabus ferrugineis postice et circa 
clypeum antice notato. Mas, abdominis ultimo segmento post dimidium punctato-strigoso, et unguiculis 
anticis equalibus, simplicibus et valde incurvatis distinctus. Long. 9} a 10 mill.”

1187. Agabus glacialis, Hoch., Chaud. Enum. Car. p. 218. Caucasus. 
“ Hlongato-ovatus, subdepressus, nitidus, nigro-piceus, ore, cum palpis, capite antice, thoracis elytro- 
rumque margine inflexo, segmentorum abdominalium summis marginibus, tibiis tarsisque late ferrugineis ; 
thoracis lateribus subrectis ; elytrorum punctis majoribus posterius irregulariter sparsis, anterius in series 
ternas digestis.” 
“ Mas: elytris nitidioribus, obsolete reticulatis, punctis distinctius impressis.” 
“ Femina: elytris opacis, evidentius reticulatis, punctis minoribus.” 
“ Variati.: pedibus anticis totis ferrugineis. Long. 3 lignes.” 
““M. de Chaudoir a trouvé cette espéce pres du sommet des montagnes d’Abbastouman, 4 7,000 pieds 
environ d’elevation, sous les pierres au bord des ruisseaux qui découlent des amas de neige. (J uin).” 
This species probably will go into my second group near Agabus armeniacus (No. 671) ; the description 
does not agree with the colour of that species.—D. 8.

“‘Oblongo-ovalis, supra castaneo-brunneus, infra niger; elytris macula paulo ultra medium ad latera 
alteraque minima ad apicem pallido luteo-notatis ; pedibus nigro-ferrugineis, Long. 8 4 9 m.m., larg. 4}

Found at Smyrna by M. Carcel. 
In the Munich Catalogue this is recorded as a variety of Agabus dilatatus, Br., (Col. dilatatus, No. 
1220, huj. op.), but it is doubtful whether this be correct.—D. S.
