base by the tarsal grooves. Ventral segments more finely and sparsely punctate 

 than the metasternum, the 6utures deeper at sides and arcuate at middle. 

 Length 1.5-1.7 mm. 



This species is probably confined to Southern Florida. Single 

 examples have been seen from Enterprise, Haw Creek and St. Lucia 

 (Hubbard and Schwarz collection), and a fourth specimen in the 

 material sent by Mr. Bowditch is labeled simply "Florida." 



8. E. facilis n. sp. — Broadly oval, rufopiceous or castaneous, polished, 

 pubescence ochreous, very sparse, erect. Antennae 9-jointed, of the same type 

 as in allied species. Head nearly smooth, the front subequal to the width of the 

 eye as seen from the front in the male, and about equal to the longest diameter 

 of the eye in the female. Prothorax sparsely finely punctate. Elytra sparsely 

 finely punctate, the punctures arranged in fairly regular rows. Lateral strise 

 two in number, obliterated in front at a point nearly opposite the hind coxal 

 plates. Lower surface almost impunctate. Metasternum broadly feebly longitu- 

 dinally impressed, the anterior lobe (fig. 34) scarcely at all constricted at base by 

 the tarsal grooves. Length 1.75 mm. 



Described from a series collected at Victoria, Texas, by Mr. 

 Schwarz, who writes me that it was found in a hard tree fungus 

 (probably Agaricus) in company with Arrhenoplita ferruginea and 

 Ennearthron sp.

Body subglobose or rotundate oval, surface polished, deeply punc- 

 tate, and clothed with sparse erect or suberect pubescence. An- 

 tenna? 9-jointed ; first joint large, auriculate ; second small, dilated 

 at middle; third to sixth very small and compactly joined, the third 

 as long as wide; fourth to sixth very short, strongly transverse and 

 gradually increasing in width ; seventh transversely triangular, the 

 inner angle acute, and strongly produced in the male; eighth elon- 

 gate, a little wider apically, as long as the transverse diameter of 

 the preceding joint, which is hollowed on its outer edge to receive 

 it; ninth elongate-oval, frequently more or less arcuate in the male. 

 Terminal joints of palpi triangular, apex truncate, the form vary- 

 ing in the different species. Eyes variable in size, more or less 

 deeply acutely incised, frequently almost divided. Head not dis- 

 tinctly excavated beneath. Prosternum short, concave, broadly 

 truncate behind ; front coxse widely separated. Mesosternum con- 

 cave, horizontal in front; vertical, deeply concave and recessed be- 

 neath the metasternum behind; middle coxse widely distant; meta- 

 sternum large, not channeled, produced between the middle coxa 1 

 into a short, broad, anteriorly truncate lobe, which is strongly con-
