long, sides straight from base to beyond middle, thence rounded into apex, 

 hind angles rectangular; disk rather closely, not coarsely aciculately punctate, 

 the punctures separated by nearly their own diameters. Elytra scarcely wider 

 at base than thorax, sides parallel for two-thirds their length, then converging 

 r.nd rounding to the obtuse apex; striae very fine, their punctures small, round, 

 close-set; intervals flat, each with two rows of minute punctures, each puncture 

 bearing a rather long, strongly inclined, pale brown hair. Abdominal segments 

 1-3 finely and sparsely punctate, four and five almost smooth. 



Length 6.7-7.2 mm. 



Described from nine specimens taken at Sanford and Dunedin, Fla., March 

 29-Oct. 31, mostly by beating, some at porch light. In colour resembles dorsal is 

 Sz., but larger, broader, less parallel, with shorter antennae and more sparsely 

 punctate thorax, the red hue of elytra less distinct. In dorsalis the eyes are 

 as widely separated in male as in female, the back portion of occiput is sparse- 

 ly punctate, the middle of seventh joint of antennae reaches base of thorax., and 

 the punctures of elytral intervals are much more distinct than in dichrous. 



Hymenorus sabalensis, sp. nov. — Elongate-oblong, smaller and more 

 slender than dichrous. Head, thorax, antennae and basal third of elytra dull 

 red, legs paler; apical two-thirds of elytra dark brown. Head rather large; 

 interocular area and clypeus coarsely and very sparsely punctate; eyes separated 

 l)y one-half their width. Antennae rather stout, half the length of body, the 

 third joint two-thirds the length of fourth. Thorax one-half wider than long; 

 sides evenly and broadly curved from basal third to apex; disk vaguely and 

 broadly impressed each side on basal third, its surface sparsely and rather 

 finely punctate, the punctures separated by twice or more their own diameters. 

 Elytra at base slightly wider than thorax; striae fine, their punctures small, 

 close-set; intervals slightly convex, each with two rows of punctures which are 

 almost as large as those of striae. Under surface dull red, the abdomen punctate 

 as in dichrous, the prosternum more densely so. Length 6 mm. 



One specimen taken by beating palmetto leaves on Hog Island, March 22. 

 Distinct by its peculiar coloration and widely spaced punctures of thorax. 



Hymenorus sobrinus Casey.— One specimen, so determined by Casey, 

 taken at Lakeland, Feb. 22, by beating masses of Spanish moss. The species 

 was described from Florida without definite locality. 



Andrimus brunneus Casey. — Frequent at Dunedin and La Belle in 

 February and March. Taken by sweeping, and, in late March, at porch-light. 

 Described from Haulover, Florida. 



Andrimus parvulus, sp. nov. — Elongate-oblong. Pale chestnut-brown, 

 shining; legs and palpi paler. Head small, with a wide groove between the 

 eyes; clypeus and occiput finely and densely punctate. Eyes large, coarsely 

 granulate, separated by a distance one-third greater than their width, Antennai 

 stout, joints 4-11 flattened, 2 and 3 together only one-third the length of fourth. 

 Thorax subquadrate, slightly wider than long, base squarely truncate, front and 

 hind angles rounded ; disk minutely alutaceous, very finely and sparsely punctate, 

 without trace of basal fove«>. Elytra one-third wider at base than thorax, 

 sides subparallel to apical fourth, then feebly converging to the separately 

 rounded tips; striae fine, their punctures small, close-set; intervals flat, each
