Narvesus sp.— June 12tb. The one example received looks 

 very like a strongly colored specimen of carolinensis, but the anterior 

 angles of the pronotum are less produced and the apex of the head 

 has two long porrect tubercles almost attaining the middle of the 

 basal joint of the antennre, quite in contrast with the acute spines 

 in carolinensis. This specimen also differs in having the basal joint 

 of the rostrum distinctly longer than the second. The antennae are 

 hairy but the legs are smooth except for very short hairs on the 

 tibiae. It may represent a new genus. 



There is another apparently undescribed insect in this lot. It is 

 a large fine species with the apical segment of the abdomen produced 

 into two rounded divergent lobes. In most characters it comes very 

 close to genus Shaumannia Distant. 



Bactrodes femoratus Fabr. — April 12th, one example. 



Leogorrus litura Fabr. — May. Two examples. 



Macrophthalmus pallens Lap. — Five examples, taken in 

 August. This is a very neat and graceful little insect of a mixed 

 warm brown and gray color. The short and comparative descrip- 

 tions given by all writers who have mentioned this species and his- 

 trionicas makes it impossible for me to be absolutely sure where to 

 place the present form. I believe, howevever, it is correctly located 

 here. 



Spiniger spinidorsis Gray. — May to August. The five ex- 

 amples received have tlie tips of the thoracic spines black, otherwise 

 they seem to be typical. The elytra are of a rich ochre brown 

 shading to black at the costal base. 



Spiniger nigripennis Stal. — Two examles, taken in May and 

 August, agree with Stal's description in every respect except that 

 the pale markings of the elytral nervures are scarcely discej'nable. 



Pothea frontalis Lep. — A beautiful black species bordered with 

 orange. 



Ectrichodia immarginata Stal. — One specimen of this, fine 

 species was taken August 18th. It is smaller and narrower than 

 lateralis of which I possess an example from Brazil. The latter 

 may also be distinguished by the rugose posterior lobe of the ])ro- 

 notum, and by having the margin of the abdomen, tip of the scu- 

 tellum, and a point on the hind edge of the corium rufous. 



Apiomerus lanipes Fabr. — May to August. 



Apiomerus geniculatus Erich. — Two females of the black
