Show 1874.] MR. E. C REED ON CHILIAN COLEOPTERA. 57 and found specimens agreeing more or less with all the above descriptions, but so connected by intermediate links that I feel compelled to unite them. The two following may be distinct, but I doubt it. CNEMALOBUS STRIATUS, Waterh. Mag. N. H. 1840, iv. p. 358 (Odontoscelis). CNEMALOBUS SUBSTRIATUS, Waterh. I. c. p. 359 (Odontoscelis). Subfamily LICININ^E. EUTOGENEIUS FUSCUS, Sol. I. c. p. 255, t. iv. f. 8. The only specimen I have ever seen of this species was found in Valdivia, and is in the National Museum of Chili. Subfamily SPHODRIN^E. PRISTONYCHUS CHILENSIS. Pristonychus chilensis, Gory, Ann. Soc. Entom. Fr. 1833, p. 232 ; Sol. I. c. p. 228. This species is placed by recent authors as a synonym of the European P. complanatus. I can see little or no difference between them ; yet I have hesitated to unite them. Common in Chile and in the island of Juan Fernandez. Subfamily ANCHOMENIN^E. A N C H O M E N U S DISTINCTUS, Sol. /. c. p. 203 (Agonum). ANCHOMENUS DEJEANII, Sol. I.e. p. 205 (Agonum). A N C H O M E N U S CORDICOLLIS, Sol. /. c. p. 206 (Agonum). ANCHOMENUS GAYI, Sol. I.e. p. 207 (Agonum). Northern Chili. ANCHOMENUS AMBIGUUS, Sol. /. c. p. 209 (Agonum). The name ambiguus was preoccupied by Erichson for a Tasmanian species ; as this, however, proves to belong to a distinct genus (Cyclothorax, W . Macleay), Solier's name may stand. This species is found in Southern Chili. ANCHOMENUS CHILENSIS. Anchomenus chilensis, Dej. Spec. Gen. v. 724 ; Sol. I. c. p. 208 (?) (Agonum). The commonest species of the genus in Central and Southern Chili. ANCHOMENUS MELAS, Sol. I. c. p. 210 (Agonum). Nearly as common as the preceding in Central Chili. ANCHOMENUS CIRCUMDATUS, Erichson, Meyen's Reise, Ins. p. 348. Scarce. Southern Chili. |
