June, 1920.] BlATCHLKY : Xf.W Rh YXCHOPIIORA. 169 



Strongly curved, both it and head finely and sparsely punctate. Thorax about 

 as wide as long, sides parallel from base to middle, then gradually converging 

 to the feebly constricted apex ; disk with a narrow, smooth median line, 

 coarsely, evenly and closely punctate, the punctures ocellate, separated by about 

 two-thirds their own diameters. Elytra conjointly oval, as wide at base as 

 thorax ; stria; fine, deep ; intervals longitudinally concave, each with a single 

 row of rather large, well separated punctures. Pygidium, under surface and 

 femora coarsely and densely punctate. Tarsal claws connate for three-fourths 

 their length. Prosternal groove distinct but wide and rather shallow ; front 

 and middle coxas widely separated. Length, 3.3 mm. 



Described from one specimen taken at Plummer's Island, Md., 

 Sept. 10. During tlie preparation of the Barini portion of tlie Rhyn- 

 chophora the generic placement of this specimen was the subject of 

 quite a correspondence between Col. Casey and myself. Hoping that 

 additional specimens might turn up it was not included in that work. 

 It seems to form a sort of connecting link between Baris and Psciido- 

 baris. In general facies it resembles the former group, but the widely 

 separated front coxae, long beak and pubescent basal joint of antennal 

 club preclude its being placed in Baris. On the other hand the pro- 

 sternal groove is not abrupt and narrow as in typical Pscudobaris. It 

 perhaps should serve as the type of a new genus. 



598 (11,177). Nicentrus grossulus Casey, Ann. N. Y. Acad. Sci., 

 VII, 1893, 599. — This name and citation should replace that of Ni- 

 centrus canus Lee. (p. 392), Casey having wrongly identified^ speci- 

 mens from Enterprise and Haw Creek, Fla., as Leconte's Ccntrinus 

 caniis. His correction and renaming of the species was overlooked 

 by us. A specimen of N. grossulus was swept from sea blite. Batis 

 viarititna L., on Hog Island opposite Dunedin on March 26. It is 

 more oblong and slender than Limiiobaris caiia Lee, is 4.5 mm. in 

 length and densely clothed above with elongate-oval brownish-yellow 

 scales; those on thorax arranged transversely. Known only from 

 Enterprise, Haw Creek and Dunedin, Fla. 



Eisonyx Lee. 1880, 216. 

 This genus is related to Microholus Lee. and Oomorphidius Casey, 

 but differs from both in having the body rhomboidal ; beak thick, 

 shorter than thorax, feebly curved; middle and hind tibiae very stout,
