1 6 MEMOIRS ON THE COLEOPTERA 



toward base, to pallid and faintly, irregularly and nubilously darker 

 at various parts of the suface, the punctures of the widely and ir- 

 regularly separated, feebly impressed series coarse and dark-tinted, 

 coarser and more confused toward the sides; pygidium opaque, 

 with short sparse pale hairs; under surface with stiff and moderately 

 long, not very close but conspicuous coarse yellowish hair. Male 

 with the anterior claws very small, the stouter with the upper ramus 

 very fine and short; female with the same claw very finely and 

 minutely, almost symmetrically cleft at tip. Length (ef 9 ) 7.7-8.3 

 mm.; width 4.65-4.9 mm. New Jersey (Atlantic City). Rather 

 abundant umbra n. sp. 



Form nearly similar but not quite so stout, very shining, black or piceous- 

 black, the legs rufescent, the elytra pale toward the scutellum; head 

 nearly as in the preceding, except that the clypeus is smaller, shorter, 

 more rounded, with the sides widely flaring toward base and the 

 surface more concave, with much more widely reflexed margins, 

 its general outline almost evenly transversely elliptical; prothorax 

 nearly as in umbra, three-fourths wider than long, the sculpture simi- 

 lar but the sides are more evenly rounded and converge to the more 

 acutely defined apical angles from behind the middle; elytra as in 

 the preceding but a little narrower, a fifth longer than wide, the 

 sculpture nearly similar but more evenly lineato-punctate near the 

 sides and with the broadly confused punctures of the second interval 

 closer and less coarse; subapical umbo similarly pronounced; under 

 surface and legs nearly similar, the anterior tarsi (cf) very slender, 

 the basal joint as long as the next two, the fifth as long as the preced- 

 ing three, distinctly dentate beneath. Length (cf ) 8.0 mm.; width 

 4.55 mm. Florida (Jacksonville) servilis n. sp. 



8 Clypeus trapezoidal, the sides diverging toward base. Body elongate, 

 suboval, moderately convex and shining, rufo-piceous throughout 

 the body and legs, the elytra paler, brownish-flavate, confusedly and 

 feebly mottled with a darker brownish tint, the rather coarse and 

 deeply impressed punctures also darker, the disk sometimes dark 

 only toward the sides; head fully half as wide as the prothorax, 

 densely punctato-rugose, the clypeus about twice as wide as long, 

 the apex feebly arcuate, merging gradually into the broadly rounded 

 angles, the surface nearly flat, with strongly reflexed edges; eyes 

 very moderate; antennal club (c?) scarcely longer than the stem; 

 prothorax not quite twice as wide as long, the sides broadly rounded, 

 gradually converging anteriorly, slightly converging posteriorly also 

 near the base, which is broadly lobed medially, the angles very ob- 

 tuse, rounded; apex sinuate, with moderately prominent right angles; 

 surface convex, somewhat uneven, rather strongly and irregularly, 

 moderately closely punctate throughout; scutellum strongly punc- 

 tate, a spot at the centre sometimes smooth; elytra a fifth or sixth 

 longer than wide, obtusely and evenly rounded behind in apical 

 two-fifths, the series not much impressed, with three moderately 

 prominent convex intervals on each, the series bounding the inner- 

 most, which is even more strongly defined toward apex, composed of 

 more close-set and even punctures, the broad flat second interval
