 ering of brown sub-metallic prostrate scales, which are denser, forming a lunate 

 transverse spot behind the middle of the elytra. Head punctured, beak rugose 

 and punctured at base, nearly smooth at tip. Prothorax equally strongly punc- 

 tured above and beneath, without dorsal line. Elytra with striae composed of ap- 

 proximate quadrate punctures. Legs strongly punctured, thinly squamose, front 

 thighs acutely toothed, hinder ones with a very obtuse angle. Length 4 mm. 



Cape Jupiter, Fla. ; one pair, Mr. Hubbard. Easily recognized by the

 pressed scales with nebulae of dark brown, of which only a scutellar spot is dis-
