PTEROSTICHIN^: 385 



antennae very slender, fusco- testaceous, paler basally, the palpi pale; 

 labrum rufous, the mandibles notably small; prothorax scarcely a 

 fifth wider than long, the sides evenly and moderately arcuate, 

 finely reflexed, only a little paler basally; apex moderately sinuate, 

 with less blunt angles than in suturalis and much narrower than the 

 base, which is margined nearly to the middle, the angles obtuse and 

 bluntly rounded; impressions barely traceable, the scattered medio- 

 subbasal punctures fine and very few; foveae narrow and deep, longer 

 than in suturahs though not attaining the base; elytra rather more 

 than one-half longer than wide, a third wider than the prothorax, 

 the sides a little more rounded basally, the subapical sinus rather 

 long, only moderately deep; striae and punctures throughout nearly as 

 in the preceding, the intervals a little more convex. Length (cf) 

 6.3 mm.; width 2.35 mm. Florida (Sarasota), Blatchley. 



cervicalis n. sp. 



Form somewhat elongate-oval, rather strongly convex, rufo-piceous, paler 

 anteriorly and beneath; elytra barely perceptibly iridescent; head 

 not large, elongate and with rather large and prominent eyes, two- 

 thirds as wide as the prothorax; labrum and mandibles rufous, the 

 latter tipped with blackish; antenna? slender, piceous, the first three 

 joints and the palpi pale testaceous; prothorax nearly a third wider 

 than long, parallel, with very evenly though moderately rounded 

 sides and finely reflexed edges; apex barely visibly narrower than 

 the base, feebly sinuate, with obtuse angles, the base finely margined 

 except medially, the angles obtuse and very blunt; impressions obso- 

 lete, the fine stria distinct; medio-subbasal punctures very few; 

 foveae very narrow, moderate in depth, widely separated from the 

 base; elytra oblong-oval, more than one-half longer than wide, 

 nearly one-half wider than the prothorax, the sides a little more 

 rounded basally, the subapical sinus rather feeble; striae fine but 

 deeply impressed, very finely but distinctly punctate, the seventh 

 obsolescent basally; intervals moderately though distinctly convex. 

 Length (9) 5-75 mm.; width 2.2 mm. Florida (LaBelle), Blatch- 

 ley mundus n. sp. 



13 Form and general characters very nearly as in tccniatus, but with 

 very pale and uniform ferruginous legs, smaller and narrower head 

 and complete and distinct apical incised line of the prothorax, rather 

 depressed, black, the thoracic side margins, a medio-basal area and 

 the elytral suture, apically, rufescent; under surface not paler; 

 elytra with moderate iridescence; head elongate, with moderately 

 prominent eyes, but little more than half as wide as the prothorax, 

 the neck long; labrum and mandibles dull rufous, the palpi pale; 

 antennae slender, nearly as in tceniatus but not quite so long; pro- 

 thorax a fourth wider than long, parallel, with very evenly, moder- 

 ately rounded sides; apex moderately sinuate, a little narrower than 

 the base and with rather blunt angles; base margined, except in the 

 rufous median area, the angles obtuse and distinctly rounded; foveae 

 rather deep, punctulate, well separated from the base; elytra one-half 

 longer than wide, fully a third wider than the prothorax, obtusely
