and legs brownish yellow. Head very finely and sparsely punctate, not 

 tuberculate ; clypeus broadly and shallowly emarginate at middle, the 

 sides curved. Thorax not narrowed in front, sides broadly curved, hind 

 angles obtusely rounded ; base very distinctly margined, disk finely and 

 sparsely punctate. Elytra equal in width to thorax, finely striate, the striae 

 finely and indistinctly punctate ; intervals feebly convex, smooth. Front 

 tibiae stout, broad, distinctly punctate in front, strongly 3-toothed. Hind 

 tibiae rather slender ; first joint of hind tarsi as long as the next three 

 together. Length 3 mm. 



Two specimens from beneath dry cow-dung in company with A. 

 vestiarius Horn, near Sarasota, February 17th. Closely related to A. 

 ruheohis Beauv., but smaller, more slender, with paler elytra, longer basal 

 joint of hind tarsus, and with base of thorax distinctly margined. One of 

 the types is in the collection of F. Blanchard, Tyngsboro, Massachusetts. 



Hymenorus gra?iulafiis, sp. no v. 



Oblong-parallel, subdepressed, sparsely pubescent with ^fine recum- 

 bent grayish hairs. Black, shining; palpi and mandibles reddish brown, 

 tarsi piceous. Eyes large, separated by about one-half their own diame- 

 ters ; antennae stout, half the length of the body, the joints flattened, 

 triangular, the third twice as long as second, half the length of fourth. 

 Thorax at base one-third wider than long, sides broadly rounded into the 

 front margin, base slightly sinuate each side near middle ; disk strongly 

 declivent in the region near the front angles, obsoletely foveate each side 

 of middle at base, very densely and coarsely punctate, the punctures feebly 

 separated or in part confluent. Elytra slightly wider than base of thorax, 

 their sides parallel to apical fourth ; disk striate, the intervals convex, 

 densely granulate-punctate. Basal joint of hind tarsi slightly curved, one- 

 half longer than the remaining joints together. Length 7 — 7.5 mm. 



Described from four specimens beaten from scrub-oak foliage near 

 Sanford, March 28 — 29 The dense punctuation of thorax and elytra, taken 

 in connection with the uniform shining black color, readily distinguishes 

 this from all other described species of Hymenorus. 



Aiidrimus co?i/tisus, sp. nov. 



Elongate-oval, sparsely clothed with short, suberect yellowish hairs. 

 Head, thorax, under surface and legs reddish brown ; elytra and antennae 

 dark chestnut brown. Head tansversely sulcate in front of eyes, finely and 

 rather closely punctate, alutaceous between the punctures ; eyes large,
