790 Coleopterological Notices, VI. 



arcuate; apex circularly rounded; humeri rounded and rather narrowly ex- 

 posed at base; disk convex, the intra -humeral impression very feeble and 

 basal; punctures not very coarse but distinct, rather sparse, becoming gradu- 

 ally obsolete at apex. Legs moderate in length, somewhat slender, the hind 

 femora not at all inflated. Length 1.65 mm. ; ^idth 0.6 nun. 



Florida, (Tampa). Hubbard and Schwarz. 



The fourth ventral, in the single type before me, is about one- 

 half longer than the third and circularl}' rounded. This species 

 differs from quercicola in its broader and more oval form and 

 much larger ej'es, in addition to the characters of the table. 



PSEUD ARIOTIJS n. gen. 



The rather minute species separated under this name have a 

 short obese and convex form of body, polished elytra, and a ves- 

 titure which is suberect and composed of hairs which difter dis- 

 tinctly in length and which are confusedly intermingled. The 

 head is only very slightl}' wider than the prothorax, the eyes 

 somewhat large, convex, extending to within an extremely short 

 distance of the base, rather finely' faceted and with a small but 

 distinct anterior notch; the}' are distinctly' and rather densely 

 pilose. Epistomal suture distinct. Last joint of the maxillary 

 palpi moderately large, right-angled, that of the labial unusually 

 developed, short but extremely transverse, with the subtruncate 

 apex concave and spongj-, differing noticeably in form from an}' 

 of the previous genera, but resembling somewhat that of San- 

 dytes. Antenna? slender, graduall}- and feebly incrassate, mode- 

 rate in length, pilose. Prothorax feebl}' constricted at the sides 

 of the apex, the disk somewhat uneven, trahsA'crseh' and slightly 

 tumid behind the middle and tumid near the sides at apical and 

 basal third. Scutellum broadly triangular, subtruncate at tip. 

 Basal segment of the abdomen disfcinctlv shorter than the remain- 

 der, with the dividing suture only slightl}^ indicated near the sides 

 of the body, the succeeding segments subequal among themselves. 

 The elytra are black, ornamented with pale spots. 



The two species known to me may be distinguished as fol- 

 lows : — 



Pronotum opaque, posterior pale spots of the elytra situated just behind the 



middle 1. iiotatiis 



Pronotum polished ; posterior pale spots at apical fourth 2. amicus 



Nothing is known concerning the sexual characters, which are 

 probably very slight.
