22 TH05. L. CASEY. 



round, ratlier shallow, evenly distributed, interspaces as wide as the punc- 

 tures, highly polished ; labrum very broadly arcuate, teeth robust, longer 

 than their distances asunder ; supra-antennal tuberculation small ; antennae 

 robust, slightly longer than the width of head, second joint longer and more 

 robust than the first, joints three to six uniformly and gradually decreasing 

 in length, seventh more robust, slightly elongated, oval, eighth smaller than 

 the seventh, globular, ninth transversely oval, no longer than the eighth, 

 tenth wider than long, nearly twice as wide as the ninth, eleventh as long as 

 the ninth and tenth together, as broad as the latter ; nientum much broader 

 than long, concave in the middle, very feebly emarginate anteriorly ; maxil- 

 lary palpi moderate. Prothorax widest slightly behind the middle, where it 

 is slightly broader than long, and very slightly broader than the head ; sides 

 thence very feebly convergent and nearly straight to the anterior angles, 

 which are suddenly rounded, and strongly convergent and nearly straight 

 posteriorly ; anterior margin longer than the posterior, equally arcuate ; disk 

 highly polished, evenly convex, punctate as on the head ; just behind the 

 centre and on each side of the axis there is a shallow longitudinal erosion. 

 Elytra at base equal in width to the prothorax ; sides moderately divergent 

 posteriorly and feebly arcuate ; together broadly and feebly emarginate be- 

 liind ; suture much shorter than the pronotum ; surface punctured as on the 

 liead, though rather more distantly and feebly ; sutural striae strong. Abdo- 

 minal segments strongly margined toward the base, very feebly so posteriorly ; 

 surface impunctate. First joint of posterior tarsi as long as the next two 

 together, slightly shorter than the fourth. 



Mule. — Fifth ventral segment very minutely emarginate behind, emargina- 

 tion abruptly terminated, scarcely one-sixteenth as wide as the apex, evenly 

 rounded, and about five tiiisw?s as wide as deep ; sixth segment very deeply 

 and narrowly incised at apex, incisure two and one-half times deeper than 

 wide. 



FemiiJe. — .Sixth ventral segment rather acutely angulate behind. 



Length 1.0-1.2 mm. 



Florida (Tampa, Enterprise) ; two specimens. 



The presternum is coarsely and rather distinctly punctate in its 

 nnt(M-ior half, posterior half impunctate. Metasternum very large, 

 higlily [)olislied, ghibrous, ami imi)unctate ; darker in color. 



4. E. siinilis n. sp. — Form rather slender. Pubescence as in hrevipennis, 

 though rather more sparse. Color dark reddish-testaceous, antennae, legs, 

 and palpi distinctly paler. Head moderate, slightly broader than long ; 

 interocular surface strongly convex, strongly and closely punctate, punctures 

 round, very shallow, and very distinctly defined, variolate, separated by 

 nearly their own widths ; in the middle and between the antennae there is 

 an impunctate area ; antenual tuberculations very strong and prominent ; 

 teeth of labrum long and slender ; antennae moderate in length, third and 

 fourth joints sub-equal, joints five to seven sub-equal, distinctly shorter than 

 th.' fourth, eighth globular, nintli transversely oval, as long as the eighth, 

 tenth as long as wide, one-half wider than the ninth, eleventh as wide as the
