Southern Chili. This species may be identical with one of the three preceding; but I have never seen it. BARIPUS CLIVINOIDES. Baripus clivinoides, Curtis, Linn. Trans, xviii. p. 185, t. xv. f. 100 (Cardiophthalmus). Tetraodes leevis, Blan. Voy. Pole Sud, Zool. iv. p. 36, t. iii. f. 6. Straits of Magellan. BARIPUS PARALLELUS. Baripusparallelus, Guer. Voy. Favor. Mag. Zool. ix. t. ccxxvii. f. 1. Baripus subsulcatus, Sol. 1. c. p. 240. Southern Chili. Rare. CNEMALOBUS DARWINII. Cnemalobus darwiniijW&terh. Mag. N.H. 1840, iv. p. 356 (Odon-toscelis). Odontoscelis curtisii, Waterh. I. c. p. 356. This species is very distinct from the other Cnemalobi, and may be at once known by the reflexed borders of the thorax. The type of C. darwinii is bottle-green, while C. curtisii is black ; I can see no other difference between them. They were probably taken in the Straits of Magellan. CNEMALOBUS OBSCURUS, Brulle, Hist. Ins. iv. p. 374 (1834). Odontoscelis tentyrioides, Curtis, Linn. Trans, xviii. p. 187, t. xv. f. d. Baripus aterrimus, Chaud. Bull. Mosc. 1835, p. 445.

Cnemalobus abbreviatus, Putz. /. c. p. 366. Cnemalobus sulciferus, Philippi, Ann. Univ. Chile, 1864, p. 461. This very variable species is common on the Andes and the coast-range, at an elevation of from 3000 to 8000 feet s.m.; and despite the number of synonyms that I have given, I believe I have omitted several others. On several occasions I have captured it by thousands |
