HARPALIN.E 215 



observable only with difficulty, without a marginal gutter," the edge 

 very finely and evenly reflexed throughout the length; fovese obsolete; 

 anterior transverse' impression evident but feeble; stria fine but 

 distinct, subentire; elytra less than one-half longer than wide, at the 

 middle a fifth wider than the prothorax, the sides evenly, distinctly 

 arcuate; apex rapidly obtusely ogival, the sinus feeble though evi- 

 dent; stria? very fine though distinct, rapidly coarser at apex, the 

 scutellar rather long but oblique; intervals (9 ) flat, shining, though 

 with visible micro-reticulation and with excessively minute sparse 

 punctulation throughout; foveae of the lateral line coarse, interrupted 

 for a short distance medially; discal puncture behind apical fifth; 

 hind tarsi rather slender, the basal joint fully as long as the next two, 

 the second very nearly as long as the fifth, which is unusually short; 

 claws very small. Length (9) 8.0 mm.; width 3.0 mm.- Florida 



(without further indication) cephalus n. sp. 



Form subsimilar, even less convex and more parallel, piceous, with strong 

 metallic-green lustre above, pale brown beneath, the legs and antennae 

 still paler testaceous; integuments very strongly shining throughout 

 in both sexes; head nearly as in the preceding but relatively broader, 

 the antennae similar, extending slightly behind the thoracic base, 

 the foveae obsolete ; prothorax even shorter and more transverse, the 

 sides more evenly rounded, becoming only a little less arcuate and 

 nearer the base, the basal angles rather less obtuse but with their 

 apices blunter or narrowly rounded; apex similarly sinuate and sub- 

 equal to the base; surface nearly similar but even more depressed, 

 the transverse impression less visible, the extremely minute sparse 

 punctulation barely discoverable; foveae similarly almost completely 

 obsolete; elytra slightly more elongate, more rapidly and broadly 

 obtuse at apex, parallel, with more feebly arcuate sides and relatively 

 narrower, barely visibly wider than the prothorax, the sinus similar; 

 surface similar, except that the striae are extremely fine, much finer 

 even than in cephalus and relatively coarser on the declivity; intervals 

 perfectly flat, the minute punctulation just visible (cf), almost ob- 

 solete (9 ), the discal puncture at apical fifth in the former sex, at 

 apical sixth in the latter; hind tarsi similarly rather short and even 

 somewhat more slender, the first joint as long as the next two, the 

 second not as long as the fifth. Length (cf 9 ) 7.3-8.0 mm.; width 

 2.8-2.9 rnm. Florida (Lake Worth), Kinzel tenuitarsis n. sp. 



Testaceus Hald., seems to be specifically different from terminates 

 and I have therefore reinstated it; the very pale coloration is appar- 

 ently constant and is not accompanied by the desiccatory distortion 

 usual in cases of immaturity, although the integuments are very 

 thin even for the present genus. There are several species that 

 I am unable to recognize among my material ; these are as follows, 

 with characters drawn from available descriptions: 



A. maculicornis Chd. (Harpalus). Oblong, black, shining; pro- 

 thorax one-half wider than long, slightly narrowed anteriorly, the sides
