8 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



This species was determined as C. pallidipes Stal by Uhler 

 and was recorded under this name by Heidemann in Proc. Ent. 

 Soc. Wash. VI., p. 229. The specimen is a cf , not a 9 , as Heide- 

 mann says. Stal's species (from Rio Janeiro) is a darker, brown- 

 speckled insect with differently sculptured pronotum and scutel- 

 lum. 



11. Calisius major, n. sp. — Oblong-ovate (cf), dark testaceous, 

 scutellum (except basal elevation and median keel) whitish cinereous 

 with a large median area and the apex sprinkled with fuscous and 

 with an oblique black fascia on each side immediately behind the 

 basal elevation, last dorsal segment and upper side of the protruding 

 male apical genital segment blackish. Head slightly longer than 

 broad, antennae scarcely longer than the head, rather stout, first 

 two joints short, second a little thicker and more oval than the 

 first, third joint much the longest, thicker and more than three 

 times longer than the second, attenuated at the base, fourth joint 

 as thick as the third and more than twice longer than the second 

 Pronotum a little shorter than head, anterior lobe remotely 

 granulated, posterior lobe with four keels, the two median keels 

 convergent from base to apex, the outer keels almost parallel, 

 slightly convergent apically, the lateral margins of the lobe also 

 somewhat elevated. Scutellum superficially and concolorously 

 punctate, the transversely triangular basal elevation at its base on 

 each side with two short keels, the outer one of which is obliquely 

 continued to the scutellar lateral margin, the median scutellar 

 ridge scarcely granulated, attenuated toward apex, the lateral 

 margins immediately within the sinuosity with a series of three 

 black granules, the apical margin neither granulated nor crenu- 

 lated. Abdomen with the lateral margins of all the seven connexi- 

 val segments provided with two tubercles, the anterior black, the 

 posterior pale and sometimes notched, last male dorsal segment 

 transversely convex, its apical margin sinuate, the apical male 

 genital segment protruding considerably beyond the extremely 

 short dorsal genital segment. Legs pale testaceous. Length, 

 cf 4 mm. 



Venezuela (La Guayra) ; in my collection. 



Readily distinguished from all other species by the structure 

 of the antennae and other characters. The specimen being strongly 

 carded I am unable to describe the ventral genital segments. 



12. Proxius gypsatus Bergr. — Of this species, described from 

 Venezuela and also found in Panama and Guatemala, I have seen 

 two specimens from Florida; one is without precise locality, the 

 other from St. Augustine and bears the label Syrtidea diffracta 

 Uhl., apparently an unpublished name. Two species of Proxius 

 are now known from Florida.
