Doliema bidens new species. 



Male. — Reddish-testaceous. Head finely and sparsely punctate at middle, 

 the punctures coarser at sides ; the front on each side broadly produced, 

 truncate at apex but with a narrow tooth-like prolongation at middle ; epis- 

 toma rather large, depressed and on each side broadly, obliquely impressed, 

 emarginate-truncate at apex. Antennal joints three to eight longer than 

 wide. Prothorax transverse, sides arcuate and distinctly narrowing to the 

 hind angles which are acute ; surface sparsely and finely puctate at middle, 

 more coarsely at sides ; basal fovje rather deeply impressed. Elytra elongate, 

 parallel, finely and sparsely punctate, lateral carina distinct. Ventral segments 

 one to three somewhat coarsely punctate, the last two finely punctate. Length 

 4.5 mm. 



One specimen from Florida collected by the late Ottomar Dietz. 



This species differs from pallida and plana besides the different 

 form of processes at the sides of the head and large epistoma of the 

 male, by the longer antennal joints especially the third and fourth and 

 also by slightly narrower form. 



Anaedus pallidus new species. 



Dark ferruginous. Head sparsely, coarsely punctate, transversely im- 

 pressed in front. Antennae ferruginous, third joint scarcely longer than sec- 

 ond, which is very small and transverse, both joints together about as long as 

 the fourth joint. Prothorax transverse ; apex feebly emarginate ; anterior 

 angles rounded ; sides broadly rounded at apical half, then obliquely narrow- 

 ing to the hind angles, which are obtuse ; surface with coarse, irregularly 

 placed sparse punctures. Scutellum smooth. Elytra coarsely, irregularly 

 punctate, the structures not as close as in brunnens, each puncture with a 

 short erect, pale hair. Underside shining; tibiae and tarsi slender. Length 



Brownsville, Texas. 



This species differes from hrunncus in having the sides of pro- 

 thorax not sinuate before the hind angles, the hind angles not prom- 

 inent, the third antennal joint shorter than in brunneus and the 

 thorax and elytra less densely punctate. A. texanus Linell, described 

 from the same region, is larger and differs from the above described 

 species and hrunncus in having the third antennal joint as long as 

 the fourth, the thorax with large basal fovae near hind angles and the 

 first joint of hind tarsi longer than the following three joints. A. 

 rotundicollis, which I do not know, is said to have a less transverse 

 prothorax than brunneus and is apparently similar to pallidus but the 

 base in rotundicollis is said to be truncate and the hind angles a little 

 prominent.
