curved to apical fifth, then broadly rounded into the .subtruncate 

 apex; disc not striate, sculptured and pubescent like the thorax.

Family Silphid^. 

 Anogdus dissimilis, sp. nov. 



0\"al, convex, robust. Dark reddish brown, shining, almost 

 glabrous; club of antenna^ and a faint cloud on elytra fuscous- 

 brown. Antenna^ 10-jointed, the seventh or basal joint of club 

 not much more than half the width of eighth and subequal in width 

 to tenth. Head finely and rather sparsely punctate, the punctures 

 in fn^nt tending to coalesce and form minute transverse grooves. 

 Thorax convex, less than twice as wide as long, sides broadly 

 rounded, apex broadly but feebly emarginate, base truncate, hind 

 angles rounded; disc very finely, shallowly and sparsely punctate. 

 ScutcUum large, triangular, its apex acute. Elytra, oval, convex, 

 scarcely wider than thorax at middle, one-fourth longer than wide 

 conjointly, sides parallel to beyond middle, then broadly curved 

 to the obtusely rounded apex; striae rather fine, their punctures 

 small, round, very close-set; intervals feebly convex, minutely 

 and rather closely punctate. Under surface finely and sparsely 

 punctate. Length 2.2 — 2.4 mm. 



Dunedin, Fla., scarce; Oct. 31— Nov. 23. Swept from flowers 

 of the hoary lupine, Lupiniis diffusiis Nutt. In A. capitatus Lee, 

 the only other described species, the seventh joint of antennae is 

 as wide as the eighth and ninth, the thorax is nearly three times 

 as wide as long, with arcuate base and coarsely punctured disc, 

 and the stria^ are crenately punctured. The margins of elytra in 

 dissimilis are fringed with very short stiff hairs and the legs, 

 especially the femora, bear numerous coarse, stifle, yellowish ones.
