narrowly, and a transverse line crossing the suture at basal third paler, 

 rufo-testaceous, the pale areas not very abruptly limited ; under surface pale 

 flavo-testaceous. Head and antennae nearly as in the preceding species, the 

 former more sparsely and unevenly punctate. Prothorax, scutellum and stri- 

 gilation of the elytra nearly as in immaculatus, the former slightly more sparsely 

 punctate. Elytra having rows of extremely wide crescentiform punctures, 

 nearly as in the preceding species, but rather more strongly impressed, the 

 punctures of the intervals very small but distinct toward the suture, becoming 

 almost obsolete laterally ; two discal striae distinct, obsolete at basal third. 

 Legs, tarsi and sternal structure nearly as in pidchellus. Length 1.5 mm. 



Florida. Mr. Schwarz. 



This species diifers conspicuously from the others in coloration, 

 but the structural characters are nearly alike in all of them, the 

 punctures in general, and especially the very strongly transverse 

 crescentic punctures of the elytra, are, however, decidedly most 

 distinct in the present species. 



1.. imniaculatus n. sp. (Ziram. MS.) — Narrowly and almost evenly 

 oval, strongly convex, polished ; upper surface dark piceous, the suture feebly 

 rufesceni ; under surface throughout pale llavo-testaceous. Head not reticu- 

 late, polished, finely but rather distinctly punctate, the punctures broadly, 

 feebly impressed ; eyes rather large ; antennse nearly as in /ju/c^eZ/us. Prothorax 

 much more than twice as wide as long, polished, not reticulate, the basal lobe 

 abrupt, short, distinct, truncate, the marginal bead obsolete ; punctures sparse, 

 very fine but somewhat distinct, broadly, very feebly impressed. Scutellum 

 nearly twice as wide as long ; sides strongly arcuate toward base, straight 

 near the apex ; angle not appreciably rounded. Elytra finely, transversely 

 strigilate in wavy lines ; sutural bead, discal stri^ and punctures of the 

 l)riiicipal series nearly as in pulckellus, the punctures of the intervals exces- 

 sively minute and feeble, and almost obsolete even toward the sides. Abdomen 

 shining, coarsely reticulate, the lines very fine, very sparsely pubescent. Legs 

 slender ; posterior tarsi extremely slender, the first joint much longer than 

 the entire remainder. Length 1.5 mm. 



New Jersey ; South Carolina. 



The metasternum is shining, coarsely reticulate, the lines very 

 fine ; surface very sparsely pubescent, almost impunctate except 

 posteriorly toward the middle, where the punctures are fine and 

 subasperate; process broad, extending to the anterior limits of the 

 coxae, feebly consti'icted near the apex, the latter broadly, feebly 

 arcuate, the mesosternum before it extremely short, transverse, 

 finely setose, not prominent ; the prosternal process is moderate in 

 width. 



This species is more narrowly oval and convex than pulchelliis, 

 and is very differently colored.
