59. C parvnill n. sp. — Red brown, shining, pubescence fine and rather 

 sparse, form more elongate than usual, less than three-fifths as wide as long, not 

 at all gibbous in profile. Punctuation sparse and fine, with scattered inconspic- 

 uous somewhat larger punctures. Metasternum with a few fine punctures at 

 middle, these disappearing before reaching the episterna. Front tibiae hisulcate, 

 middle tibiae non-sulcate. Length 1.75 mm. 



Northern Illinois A single example submitted by Mr. Blanchard. 

 The genera facies suggests castaneum, but the form is more elon- 

 gate and the pubescence of normal length. 



60. C (urbidiim n. sp. — Reddish brown, moderately pubescent, not at all 

 gibbous in profile. Coarser punctures numerous and very conspicuous, rather 

 densely crowded at the sides of the pronotum, becoming smaller and sparser 

 toward the middle; coarse and evenly distributed on the elytra; interspaces be- 

 tween the coarser punctures distinctly finely punctulate. Metasternum finely 

 punctate at middle, scarcely at all so at sides. Front tibiae bisulcate, middle 

 tibiae nonsulcate. Length 1.5 mm. 



Georgia. A single example in the Horn collection. 



The present species may be at once separated from all others in 

 its vicinity by the small size and coarse sculpture. Of our other 

 species dispar alone is comparable in size, and in this the pubes- 

 cence is very short, the finer punctuation lacking, and the middle 

 tibiae sulcate. 



61. C auctiim Lee. — Red-browu to piceous brown, oblong-elliptical, scarcely 

 at all gibbous in profile. Coarser punctures of upper surface moderately strong 

 and numerous, punctuation of the metasternum most pronounced at the middle, 

 but with sparser finer punctures reaching quite to the sides. Eighth antennal 

 joint quadrate-triangular, not much longer than wide.. Length 1.6-2.3 mm. 



Hab. — Florida, Capron (type), Baldwin, Pensacola, Tampa, Key 

 West, Miami, Key Largo. 



The type is very small, red-brown, with distinct traces of a third 

 shallow inner stria at the middle of the elytra. Miami and Key 

 Largo specimens are uniformly darker brown and of larger size. In 

 the series before me these latter are almost perfectly connected by 

 intermediates with the type which I suspect is really aberrant. The 

 elevated granule at the side of the elytra mentioned by LeConte 

 does not exist, a fact of which I was thoroughly satisfied, even be- 

 fore giving the type a careful examination. The punctuation of the 

 sides of the metasternum is very sparse but seems to be always pres- 

 ent, and with some experience I believe this character sufficient to 

 distinguish auctum from indidinctum, which is also a trifle less 

 robust and a little less coarsely punctured.
