1 Stictobaris cribrata Lee. — Proc. Am. Phil. Soc, XV, p. 2i)6 

 (Onychobai'is}. 



Oblong-oval, somewhat depressed, shining, blackish-castaneous, 

 the legs ferruginous ; setae somewhat robust, moderate in length, 

 yellowish-white, more especially evident toward the sides of the 

 prothorax, in a dense humeral spot and another one more elongate 

 at the base of the third interval, also more or less distinctly denser 

 on intervals two to five in a limited area behind the middle. The 

 beak is robust, strongly arcuate and quite distinctly shorter than 

 the prothorax, the antenna3 moderate, the funicle thick, the club 

 rather robust but not large, the basal joint composing fully one-half 

 of the mass, with the pubescence moderately dense. The prothorax 

 is two-fifths wider than long, with the apex strongly constricted and 

 tubulate, the median line narrow and ill-defined, and the punctures 

 ]terforate, deep, fully three-fourths as wide as the scutellum, uneven 

 in distribution but generally separated by nearly one-half their 

 own diameters. Elytra distinctly more than twice as long as the 

 prothorax, the intervals subequal, about one-half wider than the 

 grooves, the third a little wider. The prosternum is not distinctly 

 impressed and separates the rather large coxae by scarcely more than 

 one-half their own width. Length 3. -3-4.0 mm. ; width 1.4-1.7 mm. 



Texas (Waco). Cab. LeConte. Easily recognizable by the pecu- 

 liar arrangement of the elytral setffi. 



2 Stictobaris pinialis n. sp. — Oblong, subdepresserl, shining, intense 

 black throughout and sparsely, evenly clothed with rather long, robust, per- 

 fectly white setae, without trace of condensation, except feebly on the anterior 

 declivity of the humeral callosities. Head finely, very sparsely punctate, 

 glabrous, the groove narrow and deep ; beak robust, densely and deeply 

 punctate throughout, densely setose, without trace of impunctate line, feebly 

 arcuatej almost as long as the prothorax in the female, but quite distinctly 

 shorter in the male ; antennse moderate, the scape rather long, the second 

 funicular joint but very little longer than the third, outer joints gradually 

 very thick and subcontinuous in outline with the club, the latter moderately 

 robust, with the basal joint constituting rather more than one-half the mass. 

 Prothorax two-fifths wider than long, the sides subparallel or very feebly con- 

 vergent and nearly straight to apical fourth, then abruptly, strongly rounded 

 and almost transversely convergent to the constriction, which is very strong, 

 the apex strongly tubulate, truncate and three-fifths as wide as the base, the 

 latter subtransverse, the median lobe moderate, rounded and distinct ; disk 

 with extremely narrow and imperfect impunctate line, the punctures very 

 coarse, deep and dense, three-fourths as wide as the scutellum and more or 

 less polygonally crowded. Scutellum moderate, slightly wider than long,
