rated by two- thirds more than their own width, the tempora one -half as long, 

 parallel and much less prominent; basal angles rather narrowly- rounded, base 

 broadly sinuato-truncate; antennae long, filiform, slender, not at all incrassate, 

 rather more than one-half as long as the body, third joint elongate, longer than 

 the fourth, tenth distinctly longer than wide, eleventh nan-owly oval, some- 

 what obliquely pointed, a little thicker than the tenth, much shorter than the 

 two preceding. Prothorax subequal in width to the head, a little wider than 

 long, prominent laterally at apical third, the sides thence very oblique and 

 nearlj^ straight to the apex, which is broadly arcrrato-truncate and three- 

 fourths as wide as the base, very feebly convergent to the base; disk feebly 

 convex, nearly even, not distinctly impressed, finely but strongly, very closely 

 punctate. Scutelhrm narrowly trapezoidal. i?/y;-rt three-fourths longer than 

 wide, four-fifths wider than the prothoi-ax, parallel and very feebly arcuate at 

 the sides, evenly and circularly rounded at apex ; humeri narrowly- rounded, 

 moderately exposed at base; om opiates subobsolete; disk finely, closely punc- 

 tate, the punctures becoming quite coarse and dense toward base. Abdomen 

 opaque, densely and strongly granulato-reticulatc, not punctate, minutely 

 pubescent. Legs rather long and slender, the hind femora with a fulvous 

 comb beneath, and another, smaller and shorter, between this and the base. 

 Length 1.75 mm. ; width 0.6 m]n. 



Florida (Lake Monroe). 



The single t3'pe is a male, the intromlttent organ being \evj 

 slender, c^ylindro-acnminate and three-fourths as long as the 

 entire abdomen. The third ventral is obliquel}' truncate at the 

 sides and is distincth^ longer than the second, the fourth shorter 

 than the third, broadl}^ bisinuate and feebly biimpressed along its 

 anterior edge, the posterior edge broadly and very obtusely angu- 

 late ; the genital segment is narrow and emarginate. In both of 

 these species the posterior margin of the pronotum has a small 

 and feeble median sinus. 



CXOPL'S Champ. 



The bodv in Cnopus is somewhat as in Yanonus but rather 

 shorter, polished and sparsely clothed with moderately long coarse 

 and decumbent hairs in a single system. Head much wider than 

 the prothorax, the eyes large, globular, occup3-ing the entire sides 

 and extending to the base, without trace of an anterior emargina- 

 tion, very coarsely faceted and with setse so extremel}' minute as 

 almost to defy detection under a power of 80. Front slightl}' 

 declivous before the antenna^, but with the epistomal suture ap- 

 parently obsolete; base of the occiput on a level with the anterior 

 margin of the pronotum, the constriction extending forward some-
