segments tinged with reddish. Tarsi brownish fuscous. Upper 

 surface distinctly and rather coarsely punctuate, the punctures 

 separated by more than their own diameters; under surface more 

 coarsely and shallowly punctate. Length 3 mm. 



One specimen beaten from bunch of Spanish moss near the 

 margin of a lake north of Lakeland, Feb. 22. Differs in colour 

 from any described form. Closely related to H. tcedata Lee. and 

 regalis Casey.

Near the top of page 445 of Schwarz's "Coleoptera of Florida"* 

 is the following: "Anamorphus pusillus Zimm. nis. E. rare with the 

 preceding." The preceding referred to is Rhymhus ulkei Cr., which 

 Schwarz mentions as " E. (Enterprise) rare, lives on fungus which 

 grows on dead branches." At the bottom of the page is a foot- 

 note by Le Conte as follows: "I have not described this genus 

 (Anamorphus) , as its affinities are not yet clearly made out. It is 

 a .small, rounded, testaceous, hairy insect having somewhat the 

 aspect of Rhymhus but without prothoracic lines; the tarsi are not 

 dilated. The specimens at my disposal are not sufficient for a 

 thorough investigation." It will be noted that he does not refer 

 to the specific name pusillus, but only to the genus Anamorphus. 



In 1883** Le Conte & Horn diagnosed, and, therefore, first 

 validated, the genus Anamorphus as follows: "'Body hemispherical; 

 tarsi narrow, 4-jointed; prothorax with large, finely margined, 

 basal lobe, and a basal line each side, running forwards and then 

 curving inwards; antennae 9-jointed, club elongate, very loose." 



Henshaw in his Check List (1885, p. 49) mentions Anamorphus 



Lee, but accredits no species whatever to it. In 1906 Dury f 



recorded Anamorphus pusillus Zimm. as occurring near Cincinnati,
