22(i GEO. H. HORN, M. 1). 



The last ventral of the male is slightly sinuate each side, the mid- 

 dle lobe flattened and with a smooth line along the middle, which, 

 by reflected light, gives the api)earance of a depression. 



A small, inconspicuous species of the form nearly of po/itn. The 

 characters in the analytical table give its distinctive points more 

 clearly than can be done by comparison. 



One male specimen, Georgia. 



lo. II. niarevagaiis u sp.— Oval, slightly obloiif;, moderately convex, 

 deep blue, rarely slightly greenish, shining. Antennse half as long as the body, 

 obviously thicker externally, piceous, blui.sh at base, "joint four distinctly longer 

 than third and equal to fifth. Head smooth, frontal carina scarcely prominent, 

 the tubercles flat and indistinct. Thorax more than half wider than long, sides 

 arcuately narrowed to the front, margin very narrow, slightly thickened at front 

 angles, disc convex, ante-basal impression extremely indistinct, often entirely 

 obliterated, surface sparsely, finely punctate near the base, an oblique seiies of 

 coarser punctures lieginning at the front angles. Elytra a little wider at base 

 tiiau the thorax, humeri rounded, umbone feeble, a slight flattening within it, 

 -surface finely, but very distinctly punctate, not closely, smoother near the apex. 

 Body beneath and legs colored as above; abdomen coarsely, not closely punctate. 

 Length .16— .18 inch. ; 4—4.5 mm. 



The last ventral of the male has a very distinct sinuatiou each 

 side, the middle lobe flat, with a deep longitudinal impression ex- 

 tending half the segment and ending abruptly. 



In most of the collections examined this species is labelled /o^/aoer;, 

 from which it diflfers in form, sculpture and male characters. 



Occurs along the sea-coast region from Florida to New Jersey, and 

 pi-o))ably farther north. 



14. H. toiiibaoiiia Maun.— Oval, slightly oblong, moderately convex, 

 brownish cupreo anieous, moderately shining. Antenme half as long as the body, 

 slightly thicker toward the tip, piceous, aeneous at base, joints 2-3-4 gradually 

 longer. Head smooth behind, a group of very coarse punctures near each eye, 

 frontal carina feeble, tubercles distinct, flat, separated by an impressed line. 

 Thorax one-half longer than wide, slightly narrowed in front, sides feebly ar- 

 cuate, margin very narrow, slightly thickened at apical angles, di.sc convex, 

 ante basal line finely impressed, gradually evanescent at the side.';, surface ex- 

 tremely finely sparsely punctate, an oblique series of slightly coarser punctures 

 near the front angles. Elytra slightly wider at base than the thorax, humeri 

 rounded, umbone feeble, a slight impression within it. surface finely sparsely 

 punctate, smoother near the apex. Body beneath piceous, faintly metallic; ab- 

 domen very sparsely imnctate. Length .Ifi— .20 inch.; 4—5 mm. 



The last ventral of the male is sinuate each side, the median lobe 

 moderately prominent, slightly concave and smooth with a longitu- 

 dinal, not deep, impression extending three-fourths the length of the 

 segment.
