near the apex, four-fifths as long as the prothorax ; aiitennie moderately stout, 

 the basal joint of the club highly polished. Prothorax rather transverse, nearly 

 one-half wider than long, the sides feebly convergent to apical third, then 

 more strongly rounded and convergent but scarcely at all constricted to tlie 

 apex, which is about one-half as wide as the base, the latter straight and 

 feebly anteriorly oblique from the small but distinct median lobe to the basal 

 angles ; disk not coarsely but deeply, conspicuously and somewhat closely 

 punctured, without trace of impunctate line, the punctures nearly one-half as 

 wide as the scutellum and generally separated by about their own diameters. 

 Scutellum small, quadrate, scarcely at all impressed. Elytra but little wider 

 than the i^rothorax, about twice as long as the latter ; humeri rather promi- 

 nent ; sides distinctly convergent ; apex obtuse ; strife moderately fine, deep, 

 abrupt, the intervals nearly fiat, fully twice as wide as the grooves, each with 

 a single series of fine, rather distant punctures, the second, and especially the 

 third, much wider, the latter with the punctures confused. Abdomen finely, 

 sparsely punctate. Prosternum strongly impressed along the middle, sepa- 

 rating the cox£e by two-thirds of their own width. Length 3.5—4.0 mm. ; 

 width 1.65-2.0 nun. 



Florida. 



Somewhat related to eeneomicans, but easily distinguishable by 

 its more elongate, more finely punctate prothorax, with the sides 

 much less rounded, and by its relatively shorter beak. 



45 Baris Vitreola n. sp. — Oblong-oval, rather robust, moderately con- 

 vex, highly polished throughout, black with a strong aeneous lustre, the elytra 

 and legs rufo-piceous ; setse extremely minute and scarcely visible. Head just 

 visibly and very remotely punctulate, the transverse impression moderate ; 

 beak very stout, cylindrical, flattened toward apex, finely but strongly, rather 

 densely punctate, strongly, evenly arcuate and almost as long as the protho- 

 rax ; antenuc-e moderate, the club small, oval, with the basal joint polished. 

 Protltorax lather small and transverse, fully three-fifths wider than long, the 

 sides quite evidently convergent and nearly straight from the base to apical 

 fourth, then strongly rounded to the apex, the constriction obsolete ; base not 

 quite three times as wide as the head, straight and rather strongly oblique 

 from the small and moderately prominent median lobe to the basal angles ; 

 disk strongly and sparsely punctate, without trace of impunctate line, the 

 punctures about two- fifths as wide as the scutellum and generally separated 

 by rather more than twice their own diameters. Scutellum subquadrate, 

 scarcely at all impressed. Elytra slightly wider than the prothorax and fully 

 twice as long, oblong, the sides behind the feebly prominent humeri just 

 visibly convergent and slightly arcuate ; apex broadly obtuse ; strise rather 

 strong, deep, abrupt, finely punctured, the intervals fiat, fully twice as wide 

 as the grooves, each with a single series of very fine remote punctures, the 

 third scarcely wider tlian the others. Abdomen sparsely punctate toward the 

 middle, rather closely so laterally, the punctures becoming large but shallow. 

 Prosternum strongly impressed along the middle, separating the coxie by 

 three-fifths of their own width. Length 3.4 mm. ; width 1.75 mm.
