34 TIIOS. L. CASEY. 



oonoidal ; labrum very small, twice as wide as long, not emarginate. Pro- 

 tliorax as wide as head ; base very slightly longer than apex ; slightly broader 

 than long ; sides strongly and evenly arcuate ; lateral foveae large and cir- 

 cular, median basal fovea very minute, nearly obsolete ; disk very convex, 

 polished, impunctate. Elytra at base distinctly wider than the prothorax ; 

 sides rather strongly divergent posteriorly, distinctly longer than the width 

 at base, evenly and somewhat strongly arcuate ; together almost transversely 

 truncate behind, sliglitly sinuate in the middle ; disk impunctate, evenly 

 convex ; two distinct, finely impressed striae extend nearly throughout the 

 length on each elytron, one very close to the suture, the others, beginning 

 at the base, slightly nearer the humeri than the suture, are strongly arcuate 

 externally, and approach the suture toward the apices ; suture one-third 

 longer than the width at l)ase ; humeral angles rounded. Abdominal seg- 

 ments strongly, though narrowly margined, impunctate, polished ; strongly 

 convex, tirst segment nearly as long as the remainder together. First joint 

 of the posterior tarsi very short, second much longer than the third. General 

 color rnfo-testaceous, transverse baud at apices of elytra, slightly darker than 

 the remainder of the disk. Length 1.2 mm. 



Sand Point, Florida; February (Schwarz). 



From tonientosa this species differs by Laving distinct impressions 

 on the head. Tlie first segment has, at the base, two very short 

 feeble distant carinae which are nearly parallel. 



CARPOPHILIS. 



<_'. ZUlii n. sp. — Form elongated, depressed. Pubescence moderately 

 long, very line, recumbent, sparse, more plentiful toward the borders of the 

 elytra. Color above dark piceo-castaneous, beneath same except the abdo- 

 men, legs, oral organs, inflexed sides of the pronotum and antennae which 

 are paler and more rufous. Head broader across the eyes than long ; inter- 

 ocular surface feebly convex, minutely punctulate and rugulose, shining ; 

 labrum deeply cleft, bilobed ; supra-anteunal tuberciilations moderate ; near 

 them there are very feeble impressions in the interocular surface ; eyes small, 

 nearly semicircular ; antennae as long as the prothorax, first joint large, 

 feebly elongated, second shorter, scarcely one-half as wide, suddenly enlarged 

 at its distal extremity, third nearly as long as the second, much less robust, 

 joints four to six much shorter, nearly cylindrical, sub-equal, seventh sub- 

 globular, eighth smaller, slightly transverse, joints of club abruptly very 

 large, strongly fiattened, very minutely pubescent; antennal grooves well 

 developed ; extreme tip of maxillary palpi black ; meutum minutely and 

 trapezoidally emarginate. Prothorax one-half wider than long, width at 

 base and apex equal; sides arcuate, sinuate just before the basal angles; 

 anterior angles aiule, posterior nearly right ; disk evenly and very moderately 

 convex, minutely, feebly, and very closely punctulate ; sides finely mar- 

 gined ; lateral borders strongly reflexed. Scutellum large, cordate, acute. 

 Elytra at base as wide as the prothorax ; sides parallel, very feebly arcuate ; 

 together broadly, roundly, an<l ratlier strongly emarginate behind ; suture 

 nearly tliree-fourths longer than the pronotum ; surface feebly convex, finely
