not very close-set. Length 1.5— 1.7 mm.; width 0.65-.75 mm. Vancouver 

 Island, Washington State and Northern California SOror, sp. nov. 



24 — Male. — Black and shining, the anterior parts picescent; legs and antennae pale; 

 bristles rather sparse, short and somewhat inconspicuous anteriorly, longer on 

 the elytra ; head well developed, the minute clypeal tubercles separated by a 

 fifth of the width ; prothorax nearly as in soror but fully two- fifths wider than 

 long, the punctures strong and well separated ; elytra suboval, not more than 

 two-fifths longer than wide, rather wider than the prothorax and distinctly more 

 than twice as long ; punctures only moderately coarse but deep and quite 

 sparse. Length 1. 6-1. 75 mm. ; width 0.75 mm. New York. 



curtula, sp. nov. 



25 — Anterior tibire everted and acute externally at apex; hairs very long, a fifth or 

 sixth as long as the entire width of the elytra. Male. — Body stout, cylindric, 

 polished, piceous in color, the vestiture very long and bristling, abundant ; head 

 and eyes moderately developed ; front feebly concave; clypeus with two long 

 slender erect and widely separated processes; prothorax slightly wider than 

 long, the sides just visibly convergent and nearly straight from base nearly to 

 the apex, then rounding and strongly convergent to a trapezoidal and obliquely 

 upturned lamina, which is subtriangularly emarginate at tip ; surface with 

 rather strong and close-set punctures, feebly impressed at apex behind the 

 lamina; elytra short, cylindric, obtuse at apex, two- fifths longer than wide, as 

 wide as the prothorax and three-fifths longer, the punctures rather coarse, even, 

 moderately close-set, the surface not at all rugose. Female. — Smaller than the 

 male, the clypeus feebly reflexed at each side ; prothorax shorter and more trans- 

 verse, simple. Length 1.75-2. 1 mm.; width 0.75-0.9 mm. Florida (Lake 

 Worth) hirsuta, sp. nov. 



Anterior tibiae simple at apex, not dilated or produced ; hairs shorter, about an eighth 

 as long as the entire width of the elytra. Female. — Oblong oval, moderately 

 convex, shining, pale rufo-testaceous, the vestiture only moderately abundant 

 and not dense; head moderate, the eyes small; clypeal margin feebly reflexed 

 at each side ; prothorax nearly one-half wider than long, parabobcally rounded 

 at apex, the sides becoming parallel and nearly straight behind the middle ; 

 punctures fine and ra'her sparse, elytra suboval, rather ogival at tip, two-fifths 

 longer than wide, rather wider than the prothorax and more than twice as long, 

 the punctures somewhat coarse but feeble, well separated ; humeral callus rather 

 small and feeble. Length I 4 mm.; width o 65 mm. Alabama. 



ursulina, sp. nov. 



Fuscipes is our most abundant species, and the west coast impressa 

 resembles it very much in external appearance. Mellie states that the 

 anterior margin of the head in the male of fuscipes is surmounted by 

 two very small tubercles ; this is not the case in the representatives be- 

 fore me, but as Mellie included with his American specimens some 

 from Madeira, it is probable that he had one of these under observa- 

 tion, and that it is a species different horn fuscipes. Vitula of Manner- 

 heim, is assigned to Ennearthron in the Henshaw list, but without
