N, filicoriiiisi. — Slender, convex, ratlier dull, pale Inteo-tlavate through- 

 out, the elytra with a feeble rounded darker spot at each side of the suture 

 behind the scutelluni, and a darker median spot just before apical third, the 

 latter with an obli(iue ramus extending anteriorly to just beyond tlie middle 

 gradually approaching but not touching the suture, the spot not at all ex- 

 tended laterally; pubescence somewhat coarse and dense, cinereous-Avhite, de- 

 cumbent, with distinct and rather numerous erect bristles. Head as long as 

 wide, dull and minutely, densely punctiito-scabrous, the eyes large, at much 

 more than their own length from the base; antenn:c long, fully one-half as 

 long as the body, very feebly incrassate toward apex, the tenth joint one-half 

 longer than wide, the eleventh slender, almost as hmg as the two preceding, 

 gradually narrowed in apical half. Prothora.c slightly narrower than the head, 

 somewhat longer than wide, glol)ular]y convex, polished, minutely punctate, 

 abundantly pubescent, the basal pubescent area rapidly narrowed and almost 

 obsolete toward the middle; horn subconic!il in outline, not in the least con- 

 stricted, the sides arcuate, tinely and rather feebly crenulate, the apex obtusely 

 rounded in the male, more rapidly and acutely pointed in the female, a little 

 broader and parallel toward base in the latter sex; crest short and wide, mod- 

 erately elevated, outlined by a broken series of feeble crenelures. Elytra 

 twice as long as wide, fully three-fourtbs wider than the prothorax, rounded 

 behind in both sexes, only slightly wider at posterior third than at base, rather 

 finely but closely and strongly punctate. Abdomen dull, the legs slender. 

 Length 2.7-2.8 mm. ; width 0.8-0.9 mm. 



Florida (Jacksonville). Mr. Aslimeud. 



The male has the fifth ventral broadly snbtruncate at apex, ex- 

 tremely feebly sinuate for a short distance at the middle, the sur- 

 face adjoining the sinuation feebl}' and transversely impressed, in 

 the female longer and evenly rounded, with the surface unmodi- 

 fied. Tiie antennje of the female do not differ appreciably-. 



This species is allied to monodon, but is much narrower, with 

 longer and more slender antennae and quite different elytral orna- 

 mentation ; the spot on each el^-tron, with its oblique curving 

 ramus, has the exact form of an inverted comma, and differs from 

 any other of the monodon group in not extending at all toward 

 the sides of the elytra. It seems to be allied to pilatei Laf., but 

 is much smaller, the stated dimensions o^ pilatei being 3.6X1.0 mm. 



I¥. dinocerus. — Narrow, convex, i>alf rufo-testacoous throughout, the 

 abdomen infuscate; elytra witli two small scutellar si)ots, a transverse fascia at 

 apical two-lifths jirolonged along the suture Iieyond the middle, and a dark 

 post-humeral marginal line, i)rolonged to the fascia or nearly to the apex, of 

 black. Head as wide as the prothorax, minutely, densely punctate and dull, 

 densely clothed with short appressed silvery pubescence; eyes large, longer 

 than the tenipora; anteniuc moderate, feebly incrassate. Prothorax globular,
