rating the coxfB by three-fifths of their width, the anterior constric- 

 tion in the form of a transverse fold of the surface, immediately 

 before which there are two small moderately distant punctiform 

 foveje. Male without trace of ante-coxal spines. Length 1.8-2.5 

 mm.; width 0.7-1.0 mm. 



Florida (Enterprise and Baldwin) and Texas, also said by 

 LeConte to occur in New York, but I have not recognized it from 

 this locality. 



19 LilUllobaris fratercula n. sp. — Oval, feebly convex, deep l>lack 

 throughout, ratlier strongly shining, subglabroiis, the fine squamules very 

 small and sparse above and beneath. Head alutaceous, very minutely, 

 sparsely punctate, the beak tumid at base, the transverse impression dis- 

 tinct ; beak in the male rather stout, cylindrical, just visibly shorter than 

 the prothorax, feebly arcuate, becoming straight in basal two thirds, punc- 

 tured at the sides, especially toward base, shining ; antennse slightly ante- 

 median, the first funicular joint stont, not longer than the next two, the 

 second slightly longer than wide, outer joints broader, almost continuous in 

 outline with the club, the latter densely pubescent, moderately stout, about 

 as long as the preceding four joints together, the first one adjoining it being 

 more pubescent than the others. Prothorax very nearly as long as wide, the 

 sides feebly convergent and broadly arcuate from the base, the apical con- 

 striction almost obsolete ; apex truncate, rather more than one-half as wide 

 as the base ; basal lobe small and very feeble ; disk not coarsely but some- 

 what strongly, moderately sparsely punctured, the impunctate line distinct. 

 Scutellum small, subquadrate. Elytra a little wider than the prothorax and 

 fully twice as long, elongate-oval in form, the humeri but slightly prominent ; 

 disk rather finely striate, the strise becoming coarser and feebly crenulate 

 toward base ; intervals flat, about twice as wide as the grooves, each with an 

 almost even single series of rather coarse, deep and somewhat distant punc- 

 tures. Abdomen polished, finely, not densely punctate. Prosternnm liat, 

 with a small, rather deep pit behind the apical margin ; coxse separated by 

 barely one-half of their own width ; ante-coxal processes completely obsolete, 

 the surface even. Length 2.5 mm. ; width 1.0 mm.

The three specimens before me are males, the abdomen having- 

 a small elongate-oval and rather deep subbasal impression. The 

 species is related to confusa, but differs in its small size, uniseriate 

 elytral intervals, simple male prosternum and slightly longer beak. 

 From covfinU it differs in its broader, more depressed form, much 

 coarser elytral striae and larger, more close-set serial punctures.

 moderately shining, minutely reticulate, the pronotum alutaceous, black, sub-
