30. Brachytarsus paululus Casey. 



Taken in recent years in Knox, Crawford and Posey counties, Ind., 

 by sweeping lowland herbage. 



41. Euxenus piceus Lee 



Three specimens were taken singly at Chokoloskee, Fla., March 

 12-15, while beating along the edge of a mangrove swamp close to 

 the beach. 



Auletes minor new species. 



Oblong-oval. Fuscous brown, feebly bronzed, very thinly clothed with 

 fine white pubescence, this somewhat condensed along sides of elytra and in 

 a cross band at their apical fourth ; base of femora, tibiae, tarsi and last 

 ventral paler ; antennae dull yellow, the club piceous. Beak about as long as 

 thorax, but slightly enlarged near tip, finely carinate, minutely and very 

 sparsely punctate, the antennae inserted at basal fourth. Head, including eyes, 

 slightly wider than thorax, finely and sparsely punctate. Thorax subcylin- 

 drical, as long or slightly longer than broad, widest at middle, rather coarsely 

 and thickly punctate. Elytra oval, one third wider at base than thorax, the 

 punctures of disk fine, somewhat confused at middle and evanescent towards 

 apex. Abdomen minutely and sparsely punctate. Length 1.2 mm. 



One specimen taken March 8, by sweeping low herbage near the 

 beach at Caxambus, Fla. Much smaller, less pubescent and with beak 

 relatively shorter and thorax more coarsely punctate than in our other 

 eastern species. 



49. Eugnamptus puncticeps Lee. 



One specimen in the Wolcott collection taken at Hessville, Lake 

 Co., Ind., July 2. The first record for the State. 



Tachygonus minutus Blatch.i 



This species was described from a single male taken April 19 by 

 sweeping ferns in a dense moist hammock near Dunedin, Fla. It is 

 but 1.3 mm. in length, black, shining, with legs and antennae wholly 

 testaceous and a small white tuft of hairs on each hind angle of thorax 

 and another near middle of elytral suture. 



Tachygonus fulvipes nigrescens new variety. 



Black ; antennae, tip of beak, fore and middle tibiae and tarsi reddish- 

 brown, hind legs wholly black ; erect hairs dark brown. Otherwise agrees 

 with the original description of fulvipes Lee.
