humps behind, femur as long as width of the cephalothorax, of nearly even

 and slightly convex on outer side, claw longer than cephalothorax and man-

 on either side, more so on inner side; all the joints bear short distinctly 

 clavate hairs, those on the outer sides of the tibia and hand are simple, and

 long as cephalothorax, front margin slightly convex ; tibia a little shorter 

 than femur, plainly broader ; claw as long as cephalothorax plus mandibles,

 plainly heavier than in those species ; the hand is not as broad as in 

 0. cordiniaiium, while femur and hand are both more slender than in 

 O. crassichclatum. 



THREE CUBAN COLEOPTERA NEW TO THE 

 FAUNA OF THE UNITED STATES. 



By Chas. Schaeffer, 

 Brooklyn, N. Y. 



Two of the interesting additions to the coleopterous fauna of the 

 United States, of which short descriptions are given below, were 

 collected in Chokoloskee, southwestern Florida, and kindly given me 

 by Mr. George Franck; the third; which I owe to the liberality of Mr. 

 G. W. J. Angell, was collected at Enterprise, Florida, by C. W. 

 Brownell.
