rated by scarcel3" more than two-fifths of their own width ; an- 

 tennte slender, three-fifths as long as the body, the terminal joint 

 about as long as the two preceding and notably stouter, obeon- 

 ical at base, obliquely and finely, conically pointed at apex. Pro- 

 thorax slightly narrower than the head, one-fourth wider than 

 long, the sides parallel and neai'ly straight, apex broadly, evenly 

 arcuate and as wide as the base ; disk not impressed, strongly 

 and somewhat closely punctate. Elytra scarcely more than one- 

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

 parallel and nearly straight at the sides, broadly, circularly 

 rounded at apex ; humeri well exposed ; disk with a broad de- 

 l^ression extending obliquely from within each humerus to beyond 

 the middle, gradually becoming obsolete ; punctures rather coarse, 

 deep and close-set. Length 2.1 mm.; width 0.85 mm. 



Florida (Enterprise and Crescent City). The single specimen 

 before me appears to be a male, but the hind femora are only 

 moderately swollen and bent upward.

Rather elongate and feebly convex, polished, pale testaceous 

 throughout, each elytron with a small spot at the middle of the 

 base, another at the middle at outer third, and another at apical 

 third near the suture, of black, the two last probablj^ connected 

 to form an oblique fascia in some specimens ; pubescence rather 

 long, coarse and inclined, not dense. Head transverse, finel}^, 

 not densely punctate, the eyes large, sepai*ated by about three- 

 fourths of their own width; antennae three-fifths as long as the 

 body, somewhat slender, feebly incrassate near the tip, the last 

 joint obliquely pointed. Prothorax large, parallel and straight 

 at the sides, nearly as wide as the head and almost one-third 

 wider than long, broadly rounded at apex; disk feebly uneven, 

 slightly impressed along the median line, strongly and rather 

 closely punctate. Scutellum large, truncate at apex. Elytra 

 three-fifths longer than wide, three-fourths wider than the pro- 

 thorax, parallel and nearly straight in basal two-thirds, thence 

 gradually narrowed and rounded; humeri narrowly exposed; disk 

 broadly, obliquely impressed from within the humeri to be^^ond 

 the middle, also impressed at the suture near the apex, coarsely 

 and closely punctate. Abdomen rather sparsely punctured. 

 Length 1.5 mm.; width 0.6 mm.
