300 STBFAMILY X. CURCULIONINJE. 



542 (11,108). BARIS DISCIPULA Casey, 1892, 503. 



Oblong, slender, rather convex. Black, highly polished, legs piceous. 

 Thorax scarcely one-third wider than long; disc coarsely and deeply 

 punctate, the punctures separated by less than their own diameters. 

 Elytra as in ivrea. Length 2.5 mm. 



Described from Indiana. Recorded elsewhere only from Dis- 

 trict of Columbia. Very close to cerea. Casey says it "differs in 

 its narrower, more parallel form, longer, rather more coarsely 

 and densely punctured thorax and longer beak.'' 



543 (8879). BARIS JEREA. Boh., Schon., 1844, 141. 



Oblong-ovate, convex. Black, bronzed, strongly shining; legs and 

 antennae dark reddish-brown. Beak stout, two-thirds as long as thorax, 

 feebly curved, rather coarsely and sparsely punctate. Thorax short, one- 

 third wider than long, sides nearly straight, parallel from base to apical 

 fifth, then strongly rounded to near apex; disc without median smooth 

 line, coarsely, deeply and sparsely punctate, the punctures separated by 

 two to three times their own diameters. Elytra but slightly wider and 

 not twice as long as thorax; striae fine, deep, faintly punctate; intervals 

 wide, flat, each with a single row of very minute distant punctures. Length 

 2.3 2.8 mm. 



Marshall, Dubois, Clark and Posey counties, Ind., scarce; 

 April 21 June 12. Cramer Hill, Manumuskin and Atlantic 

 City, N. J., Apr. 23 June. Ranges from New Jersey and Ohio 

 to Florida and Texas. Collected on aster at Jacksonville, Texas, 

 by Pierce. 



544 (11,109). BARIS SCINTILLAKS Casey, 1892, 504. 



Oval, moderately convex. Black, very smooth, highly polished, 

 strongly bronzed. Beak stout, evenly curved, finely and very sparsely 

 punctate. Thorax two-fifths wider than long, sides feebly curved to apical 

 third, then strongly converging and distinctly sinuate to apex; punctures 

 of disc distinctly finer than in area, separated as there, obsolete near 

 apex. Elytra slightly more than twice as long as thorax, and at basal 

 third distinctly wider than the latter; intervals three times as wide as 

 striae, very minutely and remotely punctate. Length 2.2 mm. 



Eustis, Sanford and Sanibel Island, Fla., rare; March 11 

 April 9. Casey's type was from "southern Florida." Our smallest 

 species of the genus. The most evident characters separating it 

 from cvrea are the longer beak, more narrowed and almost im- 

 punctate apical fifth of thorax, its smaller discal punctures and 

 the still smaller, almost invisible punctures of elytral intervals. 



545 (11,110). BARIS ^NEOMICANS Casey, 1892, 505. 



Oblong-oval, somewhat depressed. Color of ccrca. Beak stout, strongly 

 curved, very nearly as long as thorax, finely, deeply and sparsely punc- 

 tate. Thorax one-half wider than long; disc with narrow but distinct
