slender hairs; metasternum broad and subparallel between the coxae; 

 second joint of the hind tarsi fully twice as long as the first. Length 

 1.3-1.45 mm.; width 0.8-0.9 mm. Cuba (Havana), Baker. Two 

 females *cubensis n. sp. 



Form stout, oblong-oval, broadly and obtusely rounded behind, dark 

 piceous-brown in color, gradually slightly paler toward the sides, 

 testaceous beneath, shining, the elytra not obviously alutaceous; 

 head about half as wide as the prothorax, minutely, sparsely punctu- 

 late; eyes large, separated on the front by much less than twice 

 their width; antennae slender, of the usual structure, the club not 

 quite as long as the funicle; prothorax evidently more than twice 

 as wide as long, the moderately converging sides strongly, evenly 

 arcuate; surface obsoletely micro-reticulate; base finely margined and 

 broadly lobed medially, the scutellum equilatero-triangular; elytra 

 barely at all longer than wide, a little more than twice as long as the 

 prothorax, the subsutural stria distinct; sculpture moderately finely 

 strigilato-reticulate, the rows of feeble lunules regular interiorly, 

 the lunules broad, confused and numerous on the flanks; meta- 

 sternum moderately wide between the coxae; post-coxal plaques 

 rounded behind; legs moderate. Length 1.35-1.4 mm.; width 0.85 

 mm. Florida (locality unrecorded). A single pair, .vacivus n. sp. 



Form broadly oval, shining, the elytra subalutaceous, black above, the 

 head, elytral tips nubilously, and pronotum laterally, pallescent; 

 under surface testaceous; head half as wide as the prothorax, 

 minutely, sparsely punctulate; eyes not quite so large as in the pre- 

 ceding; antennae nearly similar, the club notably shorter than the 

 funicle; prothorax distinctly more than twice as wide as long and 

 two-fifths as long as the elytra, finely margined and broadly lobed 

 medially at base, the sides more converging but less arcuate than 

 in the preceding; scutellum ogival, slightly wider than long; elytra 

 barely longer than wide, parabolic in form, the stria distinct, ob- 

 solete as usual in about basal third; strigilato-reticulation rather 

 dense, not very coarse, the scratch-like lunules nearly as in the pre- 

 ceding; prosterna! process with a small hair at each angle of the apex; 

 metasternal process rather broad, the mesosternum before it un- 

 usually developed, only a little more than twice as wide as long; 

 post-coxal plaques rather broadly and evenly rounded behind; hind 

 tarsi somewhat long and slender, the second joint about twice as 

 long as the first, the third three-fourths as long as the second. 

 Length 1.63 mm.; width 1.15 mm. Florida (Palm Beach), Kinzel. 

 A single female morosus n. sp. 



Form oblong-oval, convex, deep shining black throughout above, the 

 elytra slightly alutaceous; under surface and legs bright ferruginous; 

 head rather large, somewhat more than half as wide as the prothorax, 

 the punctures numerous, rather large, impressed and distinct, the 

 eyes only moderate, separated by slightly less than twice their width; 

 antennae with the third joint notably shorter than the next two; 

 prothorax but slightly more than twice as wide as long, the sides 

 moderately converging and arcuate; base nearly as in the preceding; 

 scutellum less broad, ogival, as long as wide; elytra distinctly longer
