Amara teres new species. 



Form broad, convex, moderately shining; elytra (J) very finely alutaceous. 

 Color black, feebly seneus throughout with the exception of the three basal 

 joints of the antennae and the extreme base of the fourth which are pale rtifo- 

 testaceous. Head less than one half as wide as the thorax, slightly transverse"' 

 narrower than the apex of the thorax ; eyes convex, frontal strioles sub- 

 obsolete; antennae reaching the base of the thorax, third joint carinate at base; 

 mentum tooth broad, subtruncate at apex with a setiferous puncture either 

 side. Thorax rather more than three fifths wider than long, slightly narrower 

 than the elytra, sides subparallel in basal half, rather strongly convergent but 

 feebly arcuate anteriorly, anterior angles prominent, apex emarginate, posterior 

 angles ■ right, very narrowly rounded, base bisinuate, punctures about equi- 

 distant from the basal and side margins ; outer basal fovea subobsolete, inner 

 short, linear, rather deep, median line and transverse impressions subobsolete, 

 surface without trace of punctuation. Elytra very short, not more than one 

 fourth longer than wide, sides subparallel and very feebly arcuate to apical 

 third, thence strongly arcuately narrowed to apex, scutellar stria with an 

 ocellate puncture at its base, striae fine, minutely subpunctate, intervals very 

 feebly convex, much more strongly so apically ; ocellate punctures of the eighth 

 stria scarcely more widely spaced medially. Beneath impunctate. Inter- 

 mediate femora with three sets. Abdomen with two setae either side at apex. 

 .Three basal joints of posterior tarsi more or less distinctly grooved externally. 

 Length 8.5 mm., width 4. mm. i J. 



Type 5 22 May. 



The broad and somewhat parallel form of this species recalls the 

 insignis group. The carinate third antennal joint and the ocellat.e 

 scutellar stria places it with A. falla.v Lee. 



Hydrsena angulicoUis new species. 



Form rather short, oblong, scarcely oval, convex, moderately shining. 

 Color, head black, thorax brownish testaceous with a large rounded median 

 piceous spot, elytra piceous with paler margins ; body beneath black, epipleurae, 

 legs and antenna; pale. Head three fourths the width of the thorax, as wide 

 as the thorax at apex, slightly transverse, coarsely and closely punctured, 

 labrum acutely emarginate. Thorax three fifths wider than long, four fifths 

 the width of the elytra, widest slightly behind the middle, sides straight and 

 very slightly convergent anteriorly, anterior angles strongly rounded, sides 

 strongly sinuate posteriorly forming a strong angulation where the thorax is 

 widest, base slightly narrower than the apex, sides anteriorly vaguely concave, 

 surface rather coarsely and closely punctured but not confluently, a narrow 

 median smooth space. Elytra scarcely a third longer than wide, humeri some- 

 what prominent though strongly rounded, sides parallel to behind the middle, 

 thence strongly arcuate to apex. Elytral punctures coarse and close, serial
