Texas (Austin). 



Readily distingnishaljle from the preceding by its smaller size, 

 more shining surface, smaller head and prothorax, the latter 

 more transA'^erse, sparser punctuation and, especially, by the an- 

 tennal structure, the eleventh joint in venbncosiis not being 

 abruptly wider than the preceding. The single specimen serving 

 as the type is a male, and has a rather singular, abruptly pointed 

 form of intromittent organ, which, as in other species of the sub- 

 family, seems to be slightly asymmetric. 



3. G, palliatlis n. sp. — Oblong-oval, convex, opaque, black beneath, 

 the antenniT;, tibiic and tarsi pale; upper surface pale, with the middle of the 

 ])ronotuni transversely darker, and with black niuculation on the elytra, es- 

 pecially evident near the scutellum, along the flanks, and in four central spots; 

 vestiture very dense, obscuring the punetitation, more especially in the pale 

 areas. Head small, rather finely and moderately sparsely punctate, the eyes 

 separated Ijy nearly one-third more than their own width ; antenna; almost 

 one-third as long as the body, filiform, the last joint abruptly thicker, ob- 

 liquely pointed and nearly as long as the two preceding, tentb somewhat 

 longer than Avide. I'rothora.r strongly transverse, wider than the head, two- 

 thirds wider than long, parallel at the sides, more rounded and feebly prom- 

 inent anteriorly; base broadly arcuate, with two feeble sinuations at each side; 

 disk strongly, very denseh' punctate. Elytra oblong-oval, about one-third 

 longer than wide, not quite twice as w ide as the prothorax, jiarallel and 

 feebly arcuate at the sides, becoming less so near the base, evenly and some- 

 what imrabolically rounded behind, the humeri broadly rounded to the pro- 

 thorax ; disk transversely flattened or subirapressed near the base, somewhat 

 coarsely and -sery densely cribrate. Under surface rather finely but strongly, 

 closely punctate. Length 1.(5 mm. ; width 0.85 mm. 



Florida (Tampa). Hubbai'd and Schwarz. 



The antenn.ne are nearly as in opimiis, but the form of the bod^- 

 and distinctl}' defined black macuhie of the elytra will distinguish 

 it quitereadily. 



SA:\DYTES u. gen. 



Body oblong, convex, the vestiture coarse, short, subdecum- 

 bent, rather sparse, with condensed patches of short matted white 

 hair. Head wider than the prothorax, the eyes large, gloI)ular, 

 somewhat coarsely faceted and with very minute and scarcely 

 visible erect sette, extending extremel3' nearly to the base and 

 almost in contact with the prothorax, deeply emarginate an- 

 teriorly. Epistomal suture completely obsolete. Antennte very 

 long, slender and cylindrical, the two basal joints small and sub-
