so toward the base, punctures coarse, elongate, not very closely placed ; inter- 
spaces somewhat convex, punctured and transversely strigose; the scales are 
predominantly white, condensed each side of the scutellum, along the base and 
on the sixth interspace from base to near the middle, the posterior denuded fascia 
almost reaches the suture, and is surrounded by a broad stripe of white scales, 
including a short white line on the fourth interspace. Legs slender, ferrugin- 
ous, thighs feebly clavate, anterior armed with a small acute tooth ; tibiae stout, 
bisinuate internally and curved inward near the apex, posterior of male more 
strongly curved and somewhat enlarged at the apex ; tarsi moderately stout, 
claws armed with a broad tooth. Long. 2.5 — 3 mm. ; .10 — .12 inch.

Last ventral segment of female foveate. 
Dr. Horn, who, in this instance also, has kindly made the com- 
parison with the type in the LeConte collection at Cambridge, has 
found the funicle to consist of only six joints and not seven, as erro- 
neously stated by LeConte, and which had led me to doubt the 
identity of the present species with the one described by LeConte. 
This species is very closely related to the following, with which it 
has heretofore been confounded in collections. A specimen from 
Jacksonville, Fla., in Mr. Schwarz’s collection, I refer, with some 
doubt, to the present species; it has the beak a little shorter and 
stouter, the second joint of funicle a little shorter than the third, 
outer joints wider ; the elytra a little wider at the base and not wider 
posteriorly, sides feebly rounded, punctures close set and somewhat 
transverse, interspaces more roughened, and the anterior femora 
more strongly clavate ; it is entirely denuded of scales. 
A. li$;atiis n. sp. Plate vi, figs. 24, 24«, 246. — Very closely resembles elon- 
gatus in form, sculpture and coloration, and is distinguished from that species by 
the following characters : the second and third joints of the funicle are a little 
more slender and of nearly equal length ; the prothorax more strongly rounded 
at the sides and more narrowed anteriorly. Elytra not wider at the base than 
the prothorax with the sides a little more rounded ; the scales are of a more 
yellowish color instead of the white, and less easily removed, the markings less 
marked ; the dark denuded fascia extends from the sides to about the fourth 
interspace ; the tibiae are more slender and the posterior of the male simply 
emargiuate along the internal margin and entirely straight in the female. Long. 
2.4 —2.7 mm.; .10 — .11 inch.

The claws are armed with a rather short and obtuse tooth. 
A. liiieatiiliis n. sp. Plate vi, fig. 25. --Long elliptic, pitchy-brown, an- 
tennae and legs testaceous, clothed with large, grayish or brown, closely adherent 
scales. Beak long and rather stout, curved, slightly widened and somewhat de- 
pressed toward the apex, punctured, scaly at the base, a median elevated line and 
stria each side from base to about the middle, apical half shining and remotely
