whitish pubescence, which on each elytron is condensed in a small round 

 spot on humerus and two on the fourth interval near front and hind mar- 

 gins of the denuded fascia; scutellum also densely pubescent. Beak about 

 as long as head and thorax, rather stout, carinate, finely punctured. Second 

 joint of funicle nearly as long as first, more than twice as long as third. 

 Thorax wider than long, sides broadly rounded, disc with small, oval, rather 

 sparse punctures, each bearing a prostrate white scale. Elytra suboval, 

 very slightly wider at base than thorax, sides feebly rounded; strial punc- 

 tures rather large, rounded, close-set; intervals feebly convex, minutely 

 punctate. Femora strongly clavate, front and middle ones only toothed. 

 Tooth of claw on side of base, rather long. Length 1.8 2 mm. 



Known only from Florida. Dunedin, Jan. 23 March 20;

 male, finely carinate, finely and rather thickly punctate. Head minutely 

 alutaceous, very finely and sparsely punctate. Second joint of funicle
