386 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST 



Biscayne, Florida, May 14. (Hubbard and Schwarz). A 

 single specimen, probably a female, is before me. By LeConte's 

 table it would fall near germinatus, but it does not at all resemble 

 the latter. In general aspect it is very similar to floridanus, but 

 is less elongate and with very differently punctured ventral seg- 

 ments. 



Conotrachelus obesus, n. sp. 



Form of anaglypiicus but with a relatively wider thorax; 

 piceous, vestiture not well preserved, consisting, so far as visible, 

 of very small, short, appressed dirty white scales or squamiform 

 hairs on the elytra, and short squamiform setae within the coar.se 

 punctures of the prothorax. Head densely punctate, more coarsely 

 so in front at the base of the beak, the latter stout, not longer 

 than the prothorax, carinate and sulcate as in anaglypticiis. Pro- 

 thorax slightly broader than long, sides parallel and nearly straight 

 in basal two-thirds, surface very coarsely, densely cribrate punctate, 

 median line not carinate, but with a short, narrow, smooth line 

 behind the middle, and two short, parallel raised lines or crests 

 in front. Elytra five-eighths wider than the prothorax, three- 

 tenths longer than wide, with stria; of coarse punctures; intervals 

 3, 5, 7, 9 acutely carinate, the carinse of the third and fifth abruptly 

 interrupted before the middle, but not at all so posteriorly. Meso- 

 sternum moderately coarsely punctate, protuberant in front. 

 Ventral segments opaque, rather coarsely but not very densely 

 punctate. Legs stout, annulate; femora with a stout, triangular 

 tooth and a small denticle. 



Length 5 mm.; width 2.8 mm. 



Georgia. — A single example of unknown sex. It is impossible 

 to say from the type whether the el) tra when in perfect condition, 

 are as completely clothed as in anaglypticiis, hnX. it seems probable 

 that this is the case, as the two species are closely allied in most 

 respects. The present species is larger than anaglypticiis, which 

 differs notably by its non-interrupted elytral costse. 



Geutorhynchus Germ. 



Ceutorhynchus echinatus, n. sp. 



Moderately broadly oval, convex, piceous, sides of elytra 

 gradually brunnescent, legs dull rufous, elytra conspicuously
