1. E. iiiuliis n. sp. — Oval, twice as long as wide; black, head rufopiceous, 

 antennae rufous; surface moderately shining and quite strongly closely punctate, 

 each puncture bearing a minute fine appressed hair, which is scarcely visible 

 under ordiuary power. Head densely but not coarsely punctate, vertex not cari- 

 nate. Prothorax coarsely and densely punctate at sides, less closely at middle. 

 Elytra rather strongly punctate, the punctures similar in size to those on the 

 thoracic disk and distant from one to two times their own diameters; two mar- 

 ginal striae deeply impressed and nearly entire, becoming obsolete near the base. 

 Beneath punctured as closely as above, the metasternum smoother at middle; 

 metasternal intercoxal process about as long as wide, deeply parabolically emar- 

 ginate. Length 2.6 mm. 



Described from a single specimen taken by Mr. Beyer at San 

 Felipe, Lower California. 



2. E. adveiius n. sp. — Elongate-oval, moderately robust, dark brown, 

 opaque, finely feebly pubescent. The sculpture of the upper surface is excess- 

 ively fine and dense, the individual punctures scarcely detectable; but inter- 

 mixed sparsely over the disk of the elytra are somewhat larger punctures. 

 Head flat between the eyes which are unusually large, their vertical diameter 

 being subequal to the width of the front. Elytra with two remotely punctate 

 marginal striae, the outer one entire, feebly impressed at base, but quite deeply 

 so toward the apex ; second stria similar but becoming obsolete at apical fourth ; 

 within this is a faint short third stria. Sculpture and pubescence beneath nearly 

 as above, the front coxal plates and prothoracic episterna more rugose as usual ; 

 the metasternum more shining, with the punctuation dual and better defined ; 

 the intercoxal lobe rather longer than wide and deeply narrowly emarginate. 

 Length 3.7 mm. 



Hab.— Florida (Miami). 



A single specimen communicated by Mr. Beyer. The very large 

 eyes undoubtedly denote the male. 



3. E. obsoletilS n. sp. — Narrowly oval, nearly two and one-half times as 

 long as wide, brown, subopaque, finely feebly pubescent. Front moderately con- 

 vex, finely closely punctate, width two and one-half ( 9 ) or two ( % ) times the 

 vertical diameter of the eye. Prothorax rather coarsely closely punctate later- 

 ally, more finely at middle. Elytra with obsolete rows of closely placed punc- 

 tures, the interspaces similarly punctate ; marginal striae two, with a short inner 

 third stria composed of punctures; the two long striae feebly impressed and de- 

 fined by punctures toward the base, deeply impressed behind the epipleural lobe. 

 Metasternum coarsely rather sparsely punctate at sides, finely sparsely so at mid- 

 dle, with intermixed minute punctures throughout; intercoxal process not quite 

 as long as wide and moderately deeply triangularly emarginate. Length 2.1-3.5 

 mm.
