FALL AND COCKERELL. 263 



I'andeletejilis simplariiis^ n. sp. — A little stouter thau hilaris, and 

 like it densely clothed with brown and cinereous scales, confusedly mottled on 

 the elytra, the prothorax with a central fusiform vitta and some lateral spots 

 dark; recumbent setje excessively short, sparse and inconspicuous. Beak before 

 the eyes \ exclusive of the mandibles) wider than long, narrowed anteriorly, 

 upper surface flat and finely snlcate. Antennal funicle 7-jointed, 1st joint not 

 much shorter than the three following, the outer joints subequal, short, evidently 

 longer than wide, and not increasing in width. Prothorax as long as wide, sides 

 moderately strongly arcuate, apical constriction less marked than usual, the 

 basal constriction especially short and feeble. Elytra slightly more than twice 

 as long and barely one-half wider than the prothorax, widest behind the middle, 

 striae flue; intervals broad and fiat. Legs lufotestaceous, front tibiae a little bent 

 at apex and with about seven denticles on the inner margin. Length 5 mm. 



The type, and only specimen seen by me, was taken at Cloudcroft 

 by Mr. Knaus. The large prothorax with feeble basal and apical 

 constrictions, short robust beak and longer first funicular joint, are 

 the principal distinguishing characters of this species. 



I'andeletejus subtropicuiii n. sp. — Moderately elongate, densely 

 clothed with dark brown and pale brown or grayish-brown scales, the recurved 

 setae stouter than usual but very sparse and inconspicuous. Beak subquadrate, 

 barely as long before the eyes as its width, median line finely sulcate. Antennae 

 pale, funicle 7-jointed, 1st joint a little longer thau the next two, outer joints 

 very slightly increasing in width, the seventh as wide as long. Prothorax longer 

 than wide, narrow, cylindrical, dilated a little in about its middle half, scales 

 pale brown in abroad dorsal vitta, sides dark brown. Elytra twice as wide as 

 the prothorax, humeri nearly rectangular and narrowly rounded, sides very 

 slightly divergent posteriorly in the male, more distinctly so in the female; disk 

 broadly variegated with dark and pale brown, the former predominating, this 

 darker area entered by an oblique median pale fascia which does not reach the 

 suture; sides and apex paler; interspaces alternately more convex, becoming 

 quite prominently so at the summit of the apical declivity. Legs and lower sur- 

 face as usual. Length 2.3-4 mm. 



Florida (Key Largo). 



Several examples collected by Mr. Beyer. 



This species agrees with cinereus in its small size and narrow sub- 

 cylindrical thorax, but differs from it and all our other species in its 

 alternately costiform elytral intervals, in the prevailing brown color 

 of the scales, and in the paler central dorsal vitta of the pronotum, 

 this being darker than the lateral region in all others. 



Our five species may be tabulated as follows: 



Antennal funicle 6-jointed rotiiiidicullis. 



Antennal funicle 7-jointed.
