nent ; intervals very narrow, the alternate ones feebly costate ; a small divided and 

 divergent suturdl tuft of white hairs on basal third. Hind legs not much longer 

 than the middle ones, armed on inner side with three or four minute teeth. 

 Sides of meso- and metasterna coarsely punctate and clothed with white hairs. 

 Length 1.3 mm. 



Described from a single specimen taken April 19 by sweeping ferns in 

 Skinner's hammock. Allied to T. centralis Lee, described from Colorado, but 

 smaller, with head more finely punctate and sculpture of elytra very different. 



Derolomus bicolor Lej. One specimen, April 23, from the leaves of a 

 thistle on Hog Island. Known heretofore only from Enterprise, New Smyrna 

 and Capron on or near the east coast of Florida. 



Lixus IeptosoniuS2i Blatch. Two examples swept, April 11, from low 

 herbage along the railway embankment north of Dunedin. The unique type 

 from Sanford, Fla., was the only specimen hitherto known. 



Barinus elusus, sp. nov. 



Elongate, subparallel, convex. Black, shining; legs and antennae reddish- 

 brown; thorax with a broad stripe of transversely placed white scales on each 

 side; elytra with the second intervals covered their full length with similar 

 scales, bases of third, fourth and sixth intervals, side pieces of m.eso- and meta- 

 sterna and sides of last three ventral segments similarly clothed. Beak stout, 

 strongly curved, about three-fourths the length of thorax, very finely and 

 sparsely punctate above, more coarsely on sides of basal half. Head finely 

 alutaceous, finely and sparsely punctate. First joint of funicle two-thirds the 

 length of the rest united. Thorax subcylindrical, one-fourth longer than wide, 

 rather finely punctate, the intervals feebly alutaceous and equal in size to the 

 punctures. Elytra scarcely wider at base and nearly twice as long as thorax, 

 sides parallel to apical fourth, then strongly converging to the separately rounded 

 tips; striae narrow, deep; intervals fat, feebly alutaceous, each with a single 

 row of rather fine, shallow, irregularly placed punctures. Under surface coarsely 

 and densely punctate, the last three ventral! segments more sparsely so. Length 

 3 mm. 



Two specimens taken March 30, April 19 by sweeping along a roadway 

 through Skinner's hammock. Allied to crihricolKs Lee, but distinct in the 

 more slender form, arrangement of white scales, longer thorax, alutaceous 

 surface, etc.
