latter, which is blackish ; pubescence very short, decumbent and 

 somewhat dense, the coarse suberect hairs sparser. Head trans- 

 verse, convex, rather coarsely-, deeply but sparsely punctate, the 

 median line impunctate; eyes moderate, separated bv fully twice 

 their own width ; antennae two-fifths as long as the body, the 

 basal joint moderately long and thicker than the second, third 

 very narrow, three to ten gradually and very distinctly increas- 

 ing in width, eleventh abruptly much thicker than the preceding 

 and rather longer than the ninth and tenth together. Prothorax 

 transverse, the sides feebly- divergent from base to apex and 

 nearly straight ; apex broadly arcuate; disk evenl}^ convex, some- 

 what finely but deepl}", moderately densely punctate. Elytra 

 three-fourths longer than wide, about three-fourths wider than 

 the prothorax, parallel and very feebly arcuate at the sides ; apex 

 evenly, circularly rounded ; humeri rounded and rather narrowlv 

 exposed ; disk scarcel}" perceptibly impressed within the humeri, 

 somewhat coarsely, strongly but sparsely' punctate, the punctures 

 graduall}^ becoming almost completel}^ obsolete at apex. Basal 

 segment of the abdomen finely, sparsel}^ punctate, the remainder 

 not visibly punctured. Length 1.7 mm.; width 0.55 mm. 



Florida (Tampa and Hillsboro). The elytra have a transversely 

 parallelogramic basal spot, a median fascia which is broadly inter- 

 rupted at the suture, and an apical spot, produced along the 

 suture to apical third, of black. 



2. A. $u1)trO|)iciiS n. sp. — Narrowly suboval, rather convex and some- 

 what dull, pale flavo-testaceous throughout, the antenna; gradually slightly 

 dusky toward apex; head piceous-black ; elytra with an extremely feeble and 

 nubilate dark area at base, and a stronger but nubilate fascia just behind the 

 middle, narrowly and imperfectly interrupted at the suture, and not quite at- 

 taining the lateral margins; pubescence extremely short, dense and rather 

 coarse, cinereous, the longer hairs decumbent, sparse and imperceptible ex- 

 cept under high power. Head transverse, convex, finely pubescent, impunc- 

 tate, except a few punctures along the transverse crest of the occi])ut and very 

 near the eyes, the latter somewhat large and convex, separated by about one- 

 half more than their own width ; antennne slightly longer than the head and 

 prothorax, rather slender, gradually and moderately incrassate, the last joint 

 slightly broader but much shorter than the two preceding together. Prothorax 

 about as wide as the head, transversely obtrapezoidal, the apex broadly, cir- 

 cularly arcuate, the sides nearlj' straight; disk evenly convex, finely and not 

 densely punctate, the punctures somewhat obsciu-ed by the vestiture. Eli/ira 

 three-fifths longer than wide, not (luite twice as wide as the jn'othorax, ])cr- 

 ceptibly wider in the middle than at base, the sides parallel and distinctly
