before me the beak is a little longer than the prothorax, with the 

 frontal fovea much more feeble, the body more slender and the pro- 

 sternum perfectly flat along the middle, l)at they are otherwise so 

 similar to the form which I regard as typical, that I hesitate to 

 describe them under a separate name.

Oblong, convex, moderately shining, the very small slender squa- 

 mules sparse and inconspicuous above, but more distinct beneath, 

 although still sparse. Head without trace of the feeblest transverse 

 impression, but with a minute subobsolete median puncture, the 

 beak in the male stout, shining but deeply, rugosely punctured, 

 feebly compressed and subcarinate above, equal in length to the 

 prothorax, straight, broadly bent near the middle and thence feebly 

 flattened to the apex ; antennge inserted slightly beyond the middle, 

 slender, the second funicular joint much longer than the next two; 

 club slender, pointed, as long as the preceding four joints combined. 

 Prothorax distinctly wider than long, the sides strongly, evenly 

 rounded at apical third to the constriction, the apex tubulate and 

 slightly wider than one-half the base ; disk not very coarsely but 

 deeply and somewhat densely punctate, the impunctate line narrow 

 and not attaining the apex. Scutellum small, quadrate. Elytra 

 two-fifths longer than wide, scarcely at all wider than the prothorax 

 and barely twice as long, obtusely rounded behind ; sides distinctly 

 convergent throughout; disk finely striate, the intervals from two 

 to three times as wide as the grooves, coarsely, confusedly, rugosely 

 but not very densely punctured. Abdomen very closely punctured. 

 Prosternum obsoletely impressed along the middle, separating the 

 00X86 by barely more than one-fourth of their own width. Length 

 5.2 mm.; width 2.2 mm. 



Pennsylvania, Georgia and Florida. The male has a small elon- 

 gate-oval feeble impression near the base of the abdomen. In the 

 original type the sides of the prothorax are parallel and almost per- 

 fectly straight nearly to apical third, Init in other specimens they 

 are slightly convergent and strongly arcuate; in the Pennsylvania 

 male the legs are black and the interstitial punctures coarse, while 

 in another exami)le the legs are red and the punctures finer. The 

 description is drawn from the type specimen.
