the second and third wider and with the punctures smaller, very sparse hut 

 more confused. Abdomen deeply but not densely or coarsely punctate. Pro- 

 sternum with a wide, rather shallow, unusually feebly defined sulcus, the 

 bottom of which is coarsely, closely punctate, the coxfe moderate in size and 

 separated by much more than their own width. Length 3.65 mm. ; width 

 1.75 mm. 



Arizona. 



Lugubris is the only species with which the present can be com- 

 pared, but there are many radical points of difference. \n fausta 

 the form of the body is much broader, and the punctuation through- 

 out very much coarser, with but the feeblest trace of a narrow and 

 partial impunctate line on the pronotum. The prosternal groove is 

 rather narrow, much deeper and more sharply defined in lugubris, 

 and, in the latter, there is no condensed spot at the base of the third 

 interval. 



5 Pseudobaris pectoralis Lee. — Proc. Am. Phil. Soc, XV, p. 420. 



Rather broadly oval and quite distinctly depressed, black through- 

 out, dull and strongly alutaceous, the seta3 not distinctly visible 

 under moderate power. The beak is slender, moderately and evenly 

 arcuate, fully as long as the prothorax in the male, and a little longer 

 in the female, not rapidly flattened toward apex and separated from 

 the head by a rather deep but broad impression ; antennae moderate, 

 the second funicular joint quadrate and but very slightly longer than 

 the third. Prothorax rather short, nearly one- half wider than long, 

 the sides strongly convergent from base to apex and broadly, dis- 

 tinctly arcuate, sometimes feebly prominent near apical third and 

 feebly constricted subapically, the disk with a narrow ill-defined 

 impunctate line, the punctures coarse, deep, not very dense and 

 unevenly distributed. Elytra a little wider than the prothorax, 

 fully twice as long, a little longer than wide and hemi-elliptical 

 behind the humeri, the disk coarsely, deeply grooved, the intervals 

 fiat, subequal throughout and about one-half wider than the grooves, 

 the punctures somewhat coarse, deep, close and more or less con- 

 fused, larger and generally forming a more even single series on 

 the fourth and occasionally, also, on the second and sixth intervals. 

 The prosternum is deeply and abruptly sulcate, the sulcus becoming 

 shallow and coarsely punctate between the coxse which are separated 

 by about their own width. Length 4.3 mm.; width 2.1-2.2 mm. 



Florida. A distinct and rather large species. I have before me 

 a single pair, agreeing in every detail with the original type.
