fully made, and are a decided aid in identification ; otherwise his 

 description of this species is veiy superficial. 



There is another Florida example before me, agreeing nearly 

 with ictericus, but having the eyes larger and less convex, the 

 prothorax relatlA'^ely larger and the elytra more elongate. 



58. A. coiivexuliis n. sp. — Stout, suboval, convex, moderatelj^ shining,, 

 pale ochreo-testaceous throughout; pubescence rather abundant, soniewbat- 

 long, coarse, subdecumbent and conspicuous. ITead transverse, broadly, 

 rectilinearly truncate at base; eyes moderately large and convex, the tenipora 

 slightly swollen, rounded, subequal in length and prominence to the eyes; 

 pianctures fine, somewhat sparse, with a narrow smooth line; antennae one- 

 half longer than the head, feebly incrassate, the last three joints especially 

 stouter. Prothorax large, convex, much wider than long, as wide as the head, 

 prominent and obtusely subaugulate laterally near the apex, the sides thence 

 strongly oblique and feebly sinuate to the base; apex broadl}' and circularly 

 rounded ; punctures fine but strong, close-set. Elytra scarcely more than one- 

 half longer than wide, three-fourths wider than the prothorax, evenly but 

 rather broadly rounded at apex, the humeri somewhat narrowly exposed and 

 rounded at base; sides parallel, evenly and distinctly arcuate; scutellar impres- 

 sion and omoplates completely obsolete. Abdomen shining, feebly punctate, 

 the legs rather short, moderately slender. Length 1.9 mm; width 0.7 mm. 



South Carolina. 



This species is evidently closely allied to ictericus^ but is some- 

 what larger and noticeably stouter, with relatively shorter and 

 more oval elytra, larger and broader prothorax, and larger though 

 less prominent eyes. 



59. A. maritiniiis Lee. — Ann. Lye. Nat. Hist., N. Y., \, p. 156;Proc. 

 Acad., Phila., 1852, p. 102. 



Stout, convex, suboval, minutely reticulate and dull, pale ochreo- 

 flavate ; abdomen picescent; elytra blackish, with the base, suture 

 and apex paler, varying to pale throughout ; pubescence short, 

 cinereous, subdecumbent, rather coarse, abundant and distinct. 

 Head subquadrate, wider than long, transversely truncate and 

 medially impressed at base ; e3'es moderately large but not very 

 prominent, as long as the tempora and equally prominent, 

 the tempora broadly rounded from the ej^es into the base ; disk 

 finely, densely punctate, with a narrow smooth line ; antennai 

 slender, ver}-- feeblj^ incrassate, one-half longer than the head, 

 the tenth joint transverse. Prothorax somewhat wider than 

 the head, rather longer than wide, convex, widest and broadly 

 rounded near apical third, the sides thence moderately oblique
