Texas (Austin). 



Readil3^ distinguishable from the preceding by its smaller size, 

 more shining surface, smaller head and prothorax, the latter 

 more transverse, sparser punctuation and, especially,' b}- the an- 

 tennal structure, the eleventh joint in venfricosus not being 

 abruptl}^ wider than the preceding. The single specimen serving 

 as the type is a male, and has a rather singular, abruptly pointed 

 form of intromittent organ, which, as in other species of the sub- 

 family, seems to be slightl}' asymmetric. 



3. G. palliatus u. sp. — Oblong-oval, convex, opaque, black beneath, 

 the antennae, tibiae and tarsi pale ; upper surface pale, with the middle of the 

 pronotuni transversely dai'ker, and with black maculation on the elytra, es- 

 pecially evident near the scutellum, along the flanks, and in four central spots : 

 vestiture very dense, obscuring the punctuation, more especially in the pale 

 areas. Head small, rather finely and moderatelj^ sparsely punctate, the eyes 

 separated by nearly one-third more than their own width ; antenuye almost 

 one-third as long as the body, filiform, the last joint abruptly thicker, ob- 

 liquely pointed and nearly as long as the two preceding, tenth somewhat 

 longer than wide. Prothorax strongly transverse, wider than the head, two- 

 thirds wider than long, parallel at the sides, more rounded and feebly prom- 

 inent anteriorly'; base broadly arcuate, with two feeble sinuations at each side: 

 disk strongly, very densely punctate. Elytra oblong-oval, about one-third 

 longer than wide, not quite twice as wide as the prothorax, parallel and 

 feebly arcuate at the sides, becoming less so near tlie base, evenly and some- 

 what parabolically rounded behind, the humeri broadly rounded to the pro- 

 thorax; disk transversely flattened or subimpressed near the base, somewhat 

 coarsely and very densely cribrate. Under surface rather finely but strongly, 

 closely punctate. Length 1.6 mm. ; width 0.85 mm. 



Florida (Tampa). Hubbard and Schwarz. 



The antennre are nearly as in opimus, but the form of the body 

 and distinctly defined black maculae of the elytra will distinguish 

 it quitereadil}^ 



SAXDYTES u. gen. 



Bod}' oblong, convex, the vestiture coarse, short, subdecum- 

 bent, rather sparse, with condensed patches of short matted white 

 hair. Head wider than the prothorax, the eyes large, globular, 

 somewhat coarselj^ faceted and with A'er}^ minute and scarcely 

 visible erect setae, extending extremely nearly to the base and 

 almost in contact with the prothorax, deeply emarginate an- 

 teriorly. p]pistomal suture completely obsolete. Antennae very 

 long, slender and cylindrical, the two basal joints small and sub-
