H. C. FALL 429 



Pygidiuni brown with yellow apical spots. Body beneath brown, last ven- 

 tral yellow except at middle. Legs yellow with small rather faint brown 

 femoral and tibial spots or clouds. 



Length 2.3 to 2.7 mm.; width 1.2 to 1.4 mm. 



Distribution. — Florida: Enterprise, June 11 (Hubbard ct Schwarz). A 

 single pair (type cf ) in the National Museum Collection. 



Near varians, but distinct by the rather less robust form, brown 

 instead of black markings, rather more coarsely and much more 

 unevenly punctate head, and deeper elytral striae. 



109. Pachybrachys quadri-oculatus new species 



vSmall, stout, head and ])rothorax rufo-testaceous, elytra pale 

 yellow, each with a small humeral and subapical spot black; 

 eyes in the male separated by a distance subequal to the vertical 

 width of their upper lobes, front without ocular lines; front claws 

 (cf ) not enlarged. Length 2.4 mm. Georgia. 



Hmd moderately closely, coarsely, subevenly punctate, uniformly dark 

 rufo-testaceous. Eyes slightly prominent, separated by one and one-half 

 times the length of the basal antennal joint. Antennae moderate. 



Prothorax rather long, sides broadly arcuately convergent in front from a 

 point shghtly in advance of the base; punctuation coarse and close, not con- 

 sjiicuously uneven in distribution, side margins narrowly smoother, standard 

 marks feebly vaguely indicated by small slighth' darker shades. 



Elytra scarcely one-tenth longer than wide, about three-fourths longer than 

 the prothorax, punctuation sinuously confused in a rather small baso-sutural 

 triangle, striae more or less sinuous but continuous and entire except five and 

 six, which are confused at middle, eight with a strong sigmoid dislocation near 

 the base; marginal interspace impunctate; shield large and conspicuous, shghtly 

 more convex; standard markings represented by only the basal and apical 

 spots of the outer series, these small and black. 



Pygidiuni in great part yellow. Body beneath brownish, last ventral in 

 great part pale. Legs rufo-testaceous, the apical parts of the middle and hind 

 thighs and the basal parts of the corresponding tibiae pale. 



Length 2.4 mm.; width 1.35 mm. 



Distribution. — Georgia. The unique tj'pe is a male sent by 

 Mr. Liebeck, who kindly allows me to retain it. It is of course 

 quite impossible to say whether the peculiar limited maculation 

 will hold constant in a series, hence there is some risk that the 

 name given may not prove characteristic of the species as a whole. 

 It seems most nearly related to varians, but cannot, I think, be a 

 form of that variable species, in which the e3'es are a little more 

 distant and the form notably less stout in the same se.x (cf ), the 

 elytra being here about one-fourth longer than wide. I have
