long, the sides barely at all converging and straight or feebly sinuate 

 to beyond the middle, there rapidly rounding, oblique and straighter 

 apically; lateral margins reflexed, the bead narrow, polished; surface 

 almost evenly convex, unevenly sculptured, the coarse and rather 

 deep punctures mingled with others much finer, generally rather 

 close, wanting along a tumid median line; two discal straight lines 

 of white tomentum subequally trisecting the width, extend from 

 near the apex to very near the base, each divided into three widely 

 separated lines; laterally, there are a few minute tomentose points, 

 but there is no marginal tomentum; base almost evenly rounded, 

 without median sinus; scutellum smooth, polished; elytra a fourth 

 wider than the prothorax, two-fifths longer than wide, with laterally 

 rather prominent humeri, deep sinus and broadly rounded outer 

 apical angles, each having three widely separated double sets of 

 elongate incised annuli; which, inwardly toward apex, form long 

 double lines, the flanks with fine sparse punctures; each elytron has 

 small rounded spots of white tomentum, subequal among themselves 

 and sparsely scattered over the entire surface; pygidium nearly flat, 

 the surface with a broad, shallow, longitudinally partially divided 

 impression toward apex and with numerous large, more than semi- 

 circular, deep, incised annuli, becoming small and denser along the 

 median line, where they are mingled with minute punctures, also 

 with three subdisintegrated spots of tomentum at each side, forming 

 a triangle; apex subtruncate medially; under surface nearly free 

 from tomentum. Length (9) 11.7 mm.; width 6.8 mm. Texas

The characters of the pygidium and the rather small antennal 

 club would seem to betoken the female, but there is no other way 

 of estimating the sex of the unique type. 



Euphoriaspis n. gen. 



There are several discordancies in the species described by Dr. 

 Horn under the name Euphoria hirtipes, that lead me to believe that 

 generic separation of it would be the best course to pursue. There 

 is no species of Euphoria where, for instance, there is not a clearly 

 defined lateral marginal pronotal bead, not very strong in a few 

 species such as geminata to be sure, but always evident and entire ; 

 here, there is no trace of this very constant feature of Euphoria 

 and, besides this, the remarkable brush of hair on the inner side 

 of the hind tibiae, though said to be less marked in the female, and 

 the medially thickened anterior tibiae, are additional distinctive 

 characters. Finally, the hind tarsi are peculiarly short, compact and 

 strongly compressed, to as noticeable a degree as in Euphoria hera 

 Burm., made the type of Euphoriopsis above. The very long and
