Coleopter'ological Notices, III. 55 



E. jiiliclli n. sji. — Almost evenly elliptical, convex, black throngliout 

 with slight greenisli-uietallic lustre. Head rather coarsely, densely punctate 

 throughout, the punctures becoming but slightly sparser toward the middle of 

 the vertex ; front trilobed, the median lobe longest, broadly rounded ; supra- 

 orbital ridge obsolete but slightly evident in front of the upper margin; 

 antennae about as long as the prothorax, joints six to nine serrate internally. 

 Prothorax one-third wider than long, the apex subtruncate, scarcely more than 

 three-fifths as wide as the base, the latter broadly, strongly lobed in the middle, 

 feebly sinuate thence to the basal angles, which are right ; apical angles 

 obtuse but not at all rounded ; sides broadly arcuate and subparallel in basal 

 half, becoming more arcuate and convergent thence to the apex ; disk not at 

 all impressed, rather coarsely, very densely punctate, the punctures nearly in 

 contact but distinct throughout in contour, becoming slightly sparser toward 

 the middle, without an irapunctate median line. Eljtra at base but slightly 

 wider than the prothorax, in the middle one-third wider, three-fourths longer 

 than wide ; sides arcuate, acutely ogival at apex ; disk with almost even 

 series of rather coarse approximate punctures, the series not at all impressed, 

 the intervals unevenly, uniseriately or biseriately punctate. Under surface 

 rather strongly punctate ; mesosternum almost vertical anteriorly and com- 

 pletely unimpressed. Legs slender. Length 9.0 mm. ; width 4.0 mm. 



Texas. 



The hind wings are as long as the elytra. Two specimens, prob- 

 ably from the neighborhood of Galveston, one of which I owe to 

 the kindness of my friend Mr. Wilhelm Jiilich. 



ANEPSIUS Lee. 

 The two species known to me may be separated as follows: — 



Antennae much longer than the head ; elytral punctures arranged in regular 

 approximate series throughout delicatlllllS 



Antennae very short, not longer than the head ; elyti-al punctures arranged 

 serially only towards the sides moiltanus 



A. niOIltailllS n. sp. — Robust, parallel, convex, polished, black through- 

 out, the legs and antennae dark rufo-testaceous ; integuments glabrous, each 

 puncture bearing an extremely minute seta. Head feebly convex, transverse, 

 not very coarsely but strongly and rather densely punctate, the punctures 

 rough or subgranulose ; eyes completely divided ; antennae moderately robust 

 and compressed, compact, the last joint not as long as wide and slightly 

 narrower than the tenth. Prothorax three-fourths wider than long, the base 

 and apex subequal, the former feebly arcuate, the latter very feebly, broadly 

 sinuate ; apical angles right, narrowly rounded ; basal obtuse, not rounded 

 and minutely, feebly prominent ; sides evenly, rather strongly arcuate ; disk 

 evenly convex, rather closely, strongly but not very coarsely punctate later- 

 ally, the punctures becoming fine and very sparse toward the middle. Elytra
