but in antennal and tarsal structure it is as strongly silvanide as 

 any other. 



P. floridamis n. sp. — General form elongate-oval ; integuments polished, 

 dark rufo-testaceous. Head rather finely but deeply and somewhat densely 

 punctate ; antennae about one-half longer than the head. Prothorax about 

 one-half wider than the head and two-fifths wider than long ; apex a little 

 narrower than the base, truncate, the apical angles slightly obtuse but not 

 rounded and just visibly prominent anteriorly ; base very feebly arcuate, the 

 angles distinctly rounded but with the extremity of the basal bead forming 

 a minute prominent lateral point ; sides very feebly convergent from base to 

 apex, evenly, very feebly arcuate, without trace of inequality, the marginal 

 bead finely, feebly reflexed ; disk evenly, very feebly convex, rather sparsely, 

 somewhat coarsely but feebly punctate, the regions near the basal carinse very 

 feebly impressed. Elytra twice as long as the head and prothorax combined, 

 in the middle nearly one-fourth wider than the latter, the two bases equal ; 

 sides parallel, broadly, feebly, evenly but distinctly arcuate; apex evenly 

 rounded ; disk feebly but almost evenly convex, the punctures of the series 

 deep and distinct, the intervals each with a single series of widely spaced 

 very minute and scarcely visible punctures bearing fine recumbent hairs. 

 Abdomen polished, finely, not densely punctate. Length 3.4 mm.

The elytral suture is finely beaded, the bead becoming very evi- 

 dent toward apex, where also the surface near the suture becomes 

 distinctly impressed. 



IV. 



The cabinet formed by the late Dr. G. M. Levette, of Indianapolis, 

 which has just come into the possession of the writer by purchase, 

 contains a large amount of valuable material, especially from the 

 Carolinas, Georgia, Florida and Colorado, much of which was pro- 

 bably collected by Morrison. A large proportion of this material 

 is either undetermined or erroneously identified, but its value may 

 be inferred from the fact that in the field covered by the present 

 paper, I observe specimens of Emmenastusfallax, Epitragus fusi- 

 formis, Asida angustida and quadricollis, Coniontis pallidicornis, 

 genitiva, parallela, parviceps, and setosa, Eleodes arcuatus and 

 E. proniinens ; also Helops impolita and tumescens, and several 

 remarkable new forms which will be made known at a future 

 opportunity. 



In this material there is a series of four specimens of Eleodes 

 cognatus, which plainly indicates that the latter is a species different
