feebly impressed near the suture, the intervals with punctures of 

 the same size very unevenly disposed, forming large areas of con- 

 densation and others which are wholly impunctate ; abdomen 

 sparsely pubescent, smooth, polished, minutely and sparsely 

 punctured medially. Length 9.8 mm.; width 3.92 mm. (d^).

tomentosus Lee 



Body nearly similar but much smaller, paler, rufo-piceous, the legs 

 and antennze pale brownish-rufous, polished, with a feeble aeneous 

 lustre on the elytra ; head small, much narrower than the space 

 between the thoracic angles ; prothorax as in to?nentosus but 

 shorter, fully three-fourths wider than long, the apex nearly 

 three-fourths as wide as the base, the punctures subeven in size 

 and, on the whole, closer and much more conspicuous than in 

 tomentostis^ those near lateral fifth not definitely cariniferous, the 

 basal impressions larger and extending some distance from the 

 basal margin ; scutellum similar ; elytra relatively very elongate, 

 almost similar in form, nearly four times as long as the prothorax, 

 with the humeri more widely exposed at base, the sculpture simi- 

 lar but finer, the abdomen nearly similar. Length 7.8 mm. ; 

 width 3.4 mm.(?). Florida (locality unrecorded). 



debilicoUis n. sp. 



5 — Form rather stout, strongly convex, polished, scarcely with metallic 

 lustre, very dark piceous, the tibia, tarsi and antennae paler, 

 rufous; pubescence white, disposed nearly as in tometitostis ; 

 head sparsely punctured, very nearly as wide as the space between 

 the acute thoracic angles ; prothorax unusually elongate, barely a 

 third wider than long, in form nearly as in tome7itos7is^ the sur- 

 face with moderately small, very sparse impressed punctures 

 medially, sensibly closer anteriorly, rather coarse, closer and 

 strongly cariniferous near lateral fourth, then, separated by more 

 or less impunctate spaces, less coarse though rather close, elongate 

 and subcariniferous to the sides ; scutellum slightly wider than 

 long, rounded behind ; elytra but little more than one-half longer 

 than wide, widest slightly behind the middle, where they are not 

 quite one-half wider than the prothorax, slightly more than three 

 times as long as the latter, somewhat rapidly, acutely ogival be- 

 hind, the sides broadly arcuate, the humeri obtuse, well exposed 

 at base, the surface sculptured nearly as in tomentosus but with 

 the series more or less interrupted and wholly unimpressed toward 

 the suture, the intervals broadly impressed laterally ; abdomen 

 minutely, rather sparsely punctured mediallv, very smooth. 

 Length 7.5 mm.; width 3.3 mm. (cf). Florida (Marion Co.). 



pardalis n. sp. 



Form nearly similar but less obese, paler, piceo-rufous, polished, the 

 elytra with feeble cupreous lustre, the pubescence white, disposed 

 nearly as in -pardalis but with the condensed patches of the elytra 

 smaller; head small, much narrower than the space between the
