numerous than in badium. Abdomen above and beneath a little more coarsely 

 punctured than in badium. Legs yellowish testaceous. Length .38-.44 inch: 

 9.5-11 mm. 



Male {Complete form). — Unknown. 



Male {Imperfect form). — Third and fourth ventral segments each with a short 

 transverse plica at middle, bearing short setae. Last ventral entire, subtruncate 

 (PI. 1, fig. 4). 



Female. — ^Third ventral segment with a short transverse plica at mi<idle, fourth 

 simple (PI. 1, fig. 5). 



Of this species I have examined 2 S , 3 9 . " The males are exactly 

 alike in their sexual characters, none have been seen with the fourth 

 ventral lobed. It may be possible that this species luguhre and anccps 

 do not possess males with the lobed fourth ventral. 



In its general appearance Jloridanum resembles pallipcs, but its facies 

 is more slender and the sexual characters will readily distinguish it. 



The type described by Dr. LeConte Ls before me, and having both 

 sexes in my own cabinet it may be asserted that his specimen is a male 

 and not a female as stated. 



Occurs in Florida and Louisiana. 



3. C aiicops n. sp. — Form rather robust, black, shining, sparsely pubescent, 

 abdomen piceous. Antennae rufo-testaceous, not as long as the head and thorax, 

 third joint conspicuously longer than the second. Head large, almost equal in 

 area to the elytra, surface feebly shining, not conspicuouslj' coarsely punctured, 

 the punctures not close, nearly as in badium, front smoother and with a distinct 

 fovea. Thorax narrower than the head, about one-fourth longer than wide, sides 

 nearly parallel, median smooth space well defined, on each side of which the 

 punctures are coarse and deep, closely placed in front, and more sparse posteriorly 

 and at the sides. Elytra about one-fourth wider than the thorax and longer, 

 longer than wide conjointly, the punctuation coarse, deep and close. Abdomen 

 above and. beneath with the punctuation relatively fine and sparse. Legs pale 

 rufo-testaceous. Length .44 inch; 11 mm. 



Male {Incomplete form). — Third and fourth ventral segments each with a small 

 transverse plica at middle, almost punctiform. Last ventral entire (PI. 1, fig. 6). 

 Female, not known. 



Of this species two males of the form described above are known to 

 me- The female being unknown, it is impossible to assign it a place 

 with certainty in a synoptic table. I have ventured, however, to place 

 it as if that sex had an entirely simple abdomen. 



In facies the species resembles pallipes and Jioridanurn, but is more 

 robust and has a larger head. 



Two specimens S , Arizona. Morrison. 



4, C. despectuill Lee. — Piceous, feebly shining, very sparsely pubescent- 

 Antennae slender, nearly as long as the head and thorax, brown, two basal joints 

 paler, third joint longer than second. Head oval, suddenly constricted behind, 

 hind angles rounded, surface subopaque, moderately densely and finely punctured.
