innr^ins. nnd quail raiigiilar scutellar spot, black, with threr- entire ilorsal 

 strife, a trace of a fourth at apex, sutural stria short abbrevated at each extrem- 

 ity; oblique huniernl stria distinct; subhumeral stria internal, as deep as the 

 next dorsal and one-half nearer to it than the second, obliterated at humerus 

 and without arcuate appendage. Propygidium and pygidium coarsely nut 

 densely punctured. Side pieces of meso-and metasternum cribmse, abdominal 

 segments at sides coarsely punctured. Anterior tibire bidentate, middle and 

 posterior tibia; biseriately spinulose, the latter being strongly compressed and 

 the spinules distantly placed. Length (ant. margin of thorax to tip of suture) 

 .18 inch ; 4k mm. 



Resembles IT. hiplajlatus, Lee., Iq color and size but it is less broadly 

 oval. 



One specimen. Camp Grant, Arizona. 



H. Gloveri, n. sp. — Oblong ovate, robust, convex, black, shining. Antennre 

 piceous, club paler. Front convex, frontal stria obsolete. Thorax with sides 

 rounded, gradually narrower in front, margin sparsely flavo-fimbriate ; two 

 lateral entire striae more distant anteriorly, the inner sinuous at its middle; 

 surface smooth. Elytra with short rather deeply impressed sub-humeral stria, 

 three entire dorsals with distant punctures near their apices; fourth and fifth 

 very short, apical; sutural abbreviated in front. Propygidium and pvgidium 

 coarsely puuctured, the latter more densely. Inflexed portion of elytra exca- 

 vate, epipleurfe bistriate. Mesosternum and metasternum smooth, side pieces 

 coarsely but distantly punctured. Anterior tibiae bidentate, middle biseriately 

 spinulose, posterior thickened, very irregularly spinulose. Length (from apex 

 of thorax to end of suture) .24 inch; 6 mm. 



A very distinct species from any known to me. The sub-humeral 

 stria is short, its apical portion being replaced by a few moderately 

 large punctures. In front of the fourth and fifth striae similar punc- 

 tures are seen. Its color is entirely black. 



This species must be referred to Group 3, Lee. (Proc. Acad. 1852, 

 p. 38) and Group 5, A., Marseul. 



For the unique in my cabinet, I am indebted to Mr. Townend 

 Glover, of the Agricultural Department, to whom I with pleasure de- 

 dicate it. It was found near Fort Cobb, Indian Territory. 



H. militaris, n. sp. — Oblong oval, sides feebly rounded, black shining, elytra 

 red, with scutellar spot, apical and middle of lateral margin black. Front 

 slightly concave, with distinct semicircular line. Sides of the thorax very 

 feebly rounded, and slightly narrower, in front, margin glabrous. Inter- 

 nal stria entire, straight, external stria short. Elytra feebly convex with three 

 entire dorsal striae and short fourth and fifth striae at apex, sutural stria with 

 basal fourth obliterated; oblique humeral stria short, feebly impressed. Pygi- 

 dium and propygidium densely punctured. Anterior tibiae sub-tridcntate, pos- 

 terior tibiae slender, biseriately spinulose. Epipleurse bistriate. Antennal 

 fossae shallow. Body beneath and legs black. Length (apex of suture to anter. 

 margin of thorax) .18 inch ; 4.5 mm.
