fully made, and are a decided aid in identification ; otherwise his 

 description of this species is very superficial. 



There is another Florida example before me, agreeing nearly 

 with ictericus, but having the eyes larger and less convex, the 

 prothorax relatively larger and the elytra more elongate. 



58. A. coiiTexillllS n. sp. — Stout, suboval, convex, moderately shinino;, 

 pale ochreo-testaeeous throughoiat; pubescence rather abundant, somewhat 

 long, coarse, subdecumlieut and conspicuous. Head transverse, broadly, 

 rectilinearly truncate at base; eyes moderately large and convex, the tempora 

 slightly swollen, rounded, subequal in length and prominence to the eyes; 

 punctures fine, somewhat sparse, with a narrow smooth line; antennre one- 

 half longer than the head, feebly incrassate, the last tlu'ee joints especially 

 stouter. Frothorax large, convex, much wider than long, as wide as the head, 

 prominent and obtusely subangulate laterally near the apex, the sides thence 

 strongly oblique and feebly sinuate to the base; apex broadly and circularly 

 rounded ; punctures fine but strong, close-set. Elytra scarcely more than one- 

 half longer than wide, three-fourths wider than the prothorax, evenly but 

 rather broadly rounded at apex, the humeri somewhat narrowly exposed and 

 rounded at base; sides parallel, evenly and distinctly' arcuate; scutellar impres- 

 sion and omoplates completely obsolete. Abdomen shining, feebly punctate, 

 the legs rather short, moderately slender. Length 1.9 mm; width 0.7 mm. 



South Carolina. 



This species is evidently closely allied to ictericus, but is some- 

 what larger and noticeably stouter, with relatively shorter and 

 more oval elytra, larger and broader prothorax, and larger though 

 less prominent eyes.

 Acad., Phila., 1852, p. 102. 



StoutjConvex, suboval, minutely reticulate and dull, pale ochreo- 

 flavate ; abdomen picescent; el3'tra blackish, with the base, suture 

 and apex paler, varying to pale throughout ; pubescence short, 

 cinereous, subdecumbent, rather coarse, abundant and distinct. 

 Head subquadrate, wider than long, transversely truncate and 

 medially impressed at base ; eyes moderately large but not very 

 prominent, as long as the tempora and equally prominent, 

 the tempora broadly rounded from the eyes into the base ; disk 

 finely, densely punctate, with a narrow smooth line ; antenniii 

 slender, very feebl}^ incrassate, one-half longer than the head, 

 the tenth joint transverse. Prothorax somewhat wider than 

 the head, ratlier longer than wide, convex, widest and broadly 

 rounded near apical third, the sides thence moderately oblique
