minutely striate-punctate, the punctures coalescent. Elytra slightly wider 

 at base than thorax, striae fine, impunctate ; intervals twice as wide as 

 striae, their edges slightly raised, each with a row of fine, close-set punctures. 

 Abdomen finely and densely punctate, glabrous at middle, the first ventral 

 in the male with a broad, deep concavity. Length 3-3.5 mm. 



Twenty or more individuals were taken May 22 while sweeping 

 herbage in a dense woodland along the bank of White River, Marion 

 Co., Ind., and a single specimen two miles below the type locality on 

 Sept. 18. Casey has made his IdiostctJius ellipsoidetis (Rhyncho- 

 phora, p. 405) the type of the new genus Haplostcthops, and described 

 as new five species from St. Louis, Mo. This Indiana species differs 

 from all in the longer and more abundant vestiture of the uppei 

 surface and especially in the large ventral impression of the male. 



622. Idiostethus subcalvus (Lee). 



Example of this species, taken at Knoxville, Tenn., were received 

 from Marcovitch. Not hitherto known south of Kentucky. To the 

 genus Idiostctlins, as recognized in the Rliynchophora, Casey adds ten 

 new eastern species. 



627. Stethobaris commixta Blatch. 



On page 506 of his Memoirs, IX, Casey states that he regards a 

 Massachusetts specimen, wrongly identified by him as ozata Lee, 

 " as properly the type of commixta." How he comes to this conclu- 

 sion is beyond my comprehension. The type is a male in my collec- 

 tion taken in Steuben Co., Ind., May 27, 1900, as stated on page 407 

 of the Rhynchophora. He regards his congermana as distinct from 

 both commixta and ovata Lee, and adds three new species to the 

 genus, one of them, coUaris, from Florida. 



Barinus lutescens (Lec.).i 



A single specimen of this handsome Barid was swept from herbage 

 in low cultivated grounds near Dunedin on March 26. It was de- 

 scribed from Columbus, Texas, and has not been recorded elsewhere. 



Barinus elusus Blatch. 2 



The types of this species were taken near Dunedin, March 30, 

 April 19, by sweeping along a roadway through a dense hammock.
