basally, intervals subrugose and each with a somewhat irregular and 

 indistinct series of coarser punctures. Pygidium oblique, rather 

 coarsely and closely but not deeply punctured. Hind thighs armed 

 with a single long acute tooth on the inner margin ; terminal spur of 

 hind tibiae very short, not longer than the other marginal denticles. 

 Length, 2 2.2 mm.; Withdth, 1.2 1.35 mm" 



Florida (Orlando?). Three examples bearing date March 

 14, 1894, collected and given me by Mr. Frank S. Daggett. 

 This species belongs to Horn's Group V, and in my recently 

 published table may best follow discopterus, differing in its 

 even more depressed form, more shining surface, dark an- 

 tennae and differences in elytral coloration. 



Bruchus brunneostictus n. sp. 



Form of pauperculus, pullus and allies, and agreeing in all respects 

 with pullus except as follows : Size much larger, the cinereous pubes- 

 cence denser, the livid spots contrasting more strongly. In fully macu- 

 late specimens the spots are arranged in three transverse series on 

 the elytra. Those of the apical series seem most likely to disappear, 

 then the basal ones, and in one example there remains only the sub- 

 lateral median spot external to the pale line on the third interspace, 

 Length, 2.352.9 mm. 



California. Alhambra Valley, Contra Costa Co. (Blais- 

 dell), type. Santa Clara Co. (Baker.) This is possibly only 

 a large and finely developed race of pullus, but I have seen 

 no intermediates and it certainly seems worthy of a name. 



Anillus. 



In Blatchley's Coleoptera of Indiana, page 79, the author 

 records the taking of two specimens of an Anillus identified by 

 him as A. fortis Horn, from beneath stones on a wooded 

 slope near Wyandotte Cave in the extreme southern part of 

 the state. On the i5th of July, 1910, several specimens of 

 Anillus were taken by Mr. Blatchley and the writer under 

 precisely similar conditions near the town of Mitchell, In- 

 diana, about one hundred miles south of Indianapolis. These, 

 as we expected, proved to be identical with the Wyandotte 

 examples. On returning to California and comparing my 

 captures with specimens of fortis from North Carolina, it 



became evident at once that the Indiana species was some- 

 thing else. On investigation it was found to agree well with 



the description of A. affabilis Brues* from Austin, Texas, 

 and a recent direct comparison with Mr. Brues' types shows
