AMERICAN COLEOPTERA. 267 



rovvly separated than the bands themselves, the two outer strise of the elytra are 

 entire, the third stria more finely impressed and extending from the base to the 

 apical fourth. Lower surface subimpuuctate ; metasternum longitudinally im- 

 pressed at middle, with a sharply defined linear fovea or furrow at bottom of the 

 impression ; the anterior lobe feebly narrowed at base by the tarsal grooves. 

 Ventral sutures deep from side to side, arcuate at middle. Length 2.1 mm. 



Described from a single specimen collected at Biscayne, Florida, 

 and now in the Horn collection. The front between the eyes is 

 subequal in width to the longest diameter of the eye; the first joint 

 of antennal club triangular, a little transverse, with the apical edge 

 faintly sinuate. These characters seem to indicate that the type is 

 a female, but this is by no means certain. Levistemus forms an 

 admirable connecting link between the species which precede and 

 those which follow it. The smooth lower surface is seen elsewhere 

 only in facilis and in Byrrhodes ; the duplex punctuation of the 

 pronotum does not occur elsewhere in Eutylistus, and reminds one 

 of Catorama. 



6. E. granus Lee. — Broadly oval, robust, rufous or rufopiceous, surface 

 polished, pubescence ochreous, very sparse, erect. Antennae 8-jointed, the first 

 joint of the club triangular, a little transverse, moderately acute inward, and 

 not differing much in the sexes. Eyes separated by less than their own width 

 as seen from the front in the male, and by a distance subequal to their longest 

 diameter in the female. Head minutely sparsely punctulate. Prothorax sparsely 

 finely, nearly evenly punctate. Elytra sparsely punctate, the punctures a little 

 coarser than on the prothorax and arranged somewhat in rows. Metasternum 

 sparsely, nearly evenly punctate, the punctures coarser than at any other part 

 of the surface; median channel entirely lacking; anterior lobe (fig. 32) deeply 

 constricted at base by the tarsal grooves. Ventral segments sparsely finely punc- 

 tate, the sutures deep at sides, becoming very fine at middle, where they are 

 somewhat arcuate. Length 1.3-1.5 mm. 



Occurs only in Southern Florida. The types are from Enter- 

 prise ; the specimens before me are from Biscayne and Key West. 



7. E. la I lav n. sp. — Broadly oval, robust; rufous to castaneous in color; 

 pubescence sparse, erect. Antenna? 9-jointed, first joint of club transversely tri- 

 angular, strongly produced inwards in the male, similar but less acute inwardly 

 in the female. Eighth joint elongate-triangular in both sexes. Eyes separated 

 by about half their own width in the male, and by their own width in the 

 female. Head minutely very distantly punctulate. Pronotum finely not closely 

 punctate, the punctures nearly uniform in size and distribution. Elytra more 

 strongly but not coarsely punctured in more or less regular rows. Submarginal 

 strise two in number, nearly obliterated before reaching the base. Metasternum 

 coarsely numerously punctate anteriorly, smoother posteriorly, not at all sulcate 

 at middle; anterior lobe (fig. 33) evidently but not very strongly narrowed at
