Show 1874.] MR. E. C REED ON CHILIAN COLEOPTERA. 55 The most northern form of Carabus in Chili; it is only found, as far as I know, near the baths of Chilian. CARABUS DARWINII, Hope, Trans. Entom. Soc. ii. p. 129. Carabus indiconotus, Sol. 1. c. p. 127, t. i. f. 4. One of the rarest of our Carabi, sometimes found on the island of Chiloe and to the south. CARABUS SUTURALIS. Carabus suturalis, Fab. Sys. Ent. p. 238 ; Gerst. I. c. p. 436. Carabus reichei, Guer. Rev. Zool. 1839, p. 297. Straits of Magellan. CARABUS SPECIOSUS, Gerst. 1. c. p. 438, t. iv. f. 3. I have an example which agrees perfectly with Gerstaecker's description, except in the colour of the elytra, which is golden-coppery like that of the head and thorax, instead of green with coppery suture and margins. CARABUS MELANOPTERUS, Gerst. I. c. p. 439. I have never seen this species. CARABUS INSULARIS, Hope, Trans. Entom. Soc. ii. p. 129. The type of this species is in the collection of Mr. Grut, who considers it a variety of C. buquetii. CALOSOMA VAGANS, Dej. Spec. Gen. v. p. 564. This species is common throughout Chili from Atacama to Magellan. I know no other Chilian species of Carabidae with such a wide distribution. Subfamily OZ^ENIN^E. PACHYTELES BIGUTTATUS, Sol. I. c. p. 182 (Tropopsis). On the sea-coast in Southern Chili. PACHYTELES MARGINICOLLIS. Pachyteles marginicollis, Sol. I. c. p. 181, t. iii. f. 3 (Tropopsis). With the preceding. I consider the T. unicolor, Fairm., a var. of this species. PACHYTELES GRACILIS. Pachyteles gracilis, Chaudoir, Ann. Soc. Entom. Belg. xi. 1868, p. 69. I have never met with this species. Subfamily BROSCINJE. CASCELLIUS EYDOUXII, Guer. Voy. Favor, t. ccxxv. f. 7. Cascellius kingii, Curtis, Linn. Trans, xviii. p. 189. Southern Chili, on the coast. |
