the Floridian species with any of the numerous Anchonus de 

 scribed from the Antillean region, but it seems closely related to 

 A. aspericollis SurTrian from Cuba. 



Loganius ficus, n. sp. Cylindrical, shining, nearly glabrous above, 

 piceous ; antennae pale, legs reddish-brown or paler. Head widely but not 

 deeply concave, the concavity limited each side by a straight, more or less 

 obtuse, supraorbital ridge, feebly shining, finely, not densely, punctulate, 

 each puncture bearing a yellowish appressed hair ; clypeus broadly emargi- 

 nate with the anterior edge shining, impunctate ; eyes greatly transverse, 

 more than three times wider than long, flat, not emarginate, rather coarsely 

 granulate. Antennal scape much longer than the funicle, curved, strongly 

 but gradually clavate ; funicle seven-jointed: first joint distinctly trans 

 verse, narrowly attached to the second joint and with the apical angles 

 rounded ; joints 2-7 closely united, very small, greatly transverse, very little 

 increasing in width, each bearing, in either sex, on each side a very long 

 pale seta; club large, strongly compressed, much longer than the funicle, 

 oblong, broadly rounded at tip, on both sides pubescent and with three 

 greatly curved sutures, first suture more narrowly rounded than the two 

 outer ones. 



Thorax slightly longer than wide, gradually widening from the apex to 

 basal fifth, thence slightly narrowing to base; anterior margin broadly 

 arcuated; base truncate, finely margined; hind angles obtuse, nearly 

 rounded, lateral marginal line acute and entire; a very slight apical con 

 striction; surface not pubescent (except, in some specimens, a few hairs 

 along the lateral marginal line), shining, moderately sparsely punctate, 

 punctures larger and denser anteriorly and on the sides, smaller and sparser 

 on basal portion of the disk. Scutellum small, rounded, not depressed. 



Elytra at base as wide as that of the thorax, slightly longer than the 

 thorax, basal margin not elevated ; glabrous at base and on the disk, with 

 a few short seriate bristles on the sides and on the declivity; anteriorly 

 with regular rows of moderately coarse punctures; at the sides the striae 

 are feebly impressed ; interstices wider than the striae, with regular rows of 

 punctures, which are either slightly or not at all smaller than those of the 

 striae; declivity simple, moderately convex, the striae deeply impressed, 

 the interstices convex, each with a row of tubercles. 



Underside sparsely pubescent ; anterior coxae widely separated, the pos- 

 ternum between them triangular, with the tip rounded off; flanks of 

 prothorax concave and smooth at middle; metasternum finely densely, 

 abdomen more coarsely punctate ; sutures of ventral segments deep and 

 straight. 



Legs short and stout; femora and tibiae compressed, the former widen 

 ing apically, the latter not denticulate at outer margin ; front tibiae of equal 

 width throughout, outer apical angle prolonged into a moderately long
