AMERICAN COLEOPTERA. 397 



S. bicolor, (Say) Tr. Am. Phil, iv., 447 ( 1 834) '.— Ovate, convex, rafo-testa- 

 ceous ; elytra black, coarsely punctate, the dorsal series visible. L. *10 inch. 

 Georgia, Pennsylvania, Florida. 



S. lineatus, Horn, Tr. Am. Ent. Soc. iii., p. 329. — Ovate, convex, yellow- 

 ish testaceous, shining; elytra each with four vitta and a small humeral line 

 black; the sutural vitta common, the second from the margin abbreviated be- 

 yond the middle; punctuation of elytra sparse, unequal, the large punctures 

 evident. L. *12 inch. 



Cape St. Lucas. (Horn.) 



S. piinctieollis, sp. n. — Ovate, convex, testaceous, shining; elytra pice- 

 ous; thorax and elytra coarsely and tolerably closely punctate. L, -12 inch. 

 (Leconte.) 



COL.PIUS, Lee. Class., p. 40. (Type inflatus.) 



Differs from Suphis by the globose form and concave prosternum. 



This genus appears to me very near Suphis, the type of which is a 



globose and similarly marked species (S. ci mica ides), but which [ 



have not seen. If these two were shown to be congeneric, the species 



above under Suphis might receive the name Suphisellus. 



C inflatus, Lee. New Sp., p. 22, 70. — Globose, acuminate behind, black, 

 opaque, closely and very minutely punctulate, also thickly and coarsely punc- 

 tate; upper surface obscurely variegated with red. L. -14 inch. 

 Louisiana, Florida, New York (?). 



Tribe 4. — Agabinini. 

 AGABI S US, g. n. (Type glabrellus.) 



Regularly ovate, thorax margined, prosternum carinate, metaster- 

 num emarginate, short, broadly rounded at apex, suture hardly visible, 

 laciniae snb-triangular, episterna hardly reaching the coxae; coxal 

 processes parallel, margins raised, straight, apex obliquely truncate 

 within. 



% , four anterior tarsi with two joints dilated. 



This genus is allied, by the form of the coxal process, to Noterus, 

 but the male tarsi are different and the side pieces of the mesothorax 

 are distinct. 



A. glabrellus, Mots. Bull. Mosc, 1859, p. 171; morulus, Lee. Proc. Phil. 

 (1861) p. 340, 11.— Ovate, pointed before and behind, shining black, convex: 

 thorax with the sides straight; elytra extremely Bnely punctulate, the dorsal 

 lines of punctures hardly visible; body beneath black, hardly strigulose; an- 

 terior tibiae unarmed, posterior tibia? punctate, spurs short. L. -22 inch. 

 California. (Leconte, Horn.)
