reflexed at sides. Elytra parallel at sides, broadly routided at apex, striate; striae 

 punctate, intervals flat, surface densely covered with blackish brown hairs, inter- 

 mixed with cinej'eous hairs, the latter condensed in a broad basal fascia, leaving 

 two darker spots on each side of base; a sutural line and irregular apical fascia 

 also cinereous. Body beneath not densely clothed with cinereous pubescence. 

 Legs pale, except apex of hind tibije and tarsi blackish ; claws with a small tooth. 

 Length 2.75 mm. 



Huachuca Mts., Arizona. 



This species is easily recognized from the others, with the claws 

 simply toothed, by the more robust form and the position of the ante- 

 basal ridge of prothorax, which is nearer the base than in any of 

 our other species, except eus2)hyroides, which has the hind angles of 

 thorax prominent and the claws deeply cleft. 



Toxotropis albofasciatus n. sp. — Blackish brown, head, thorax and 

 elytra intermixed with white pubescence, the latter forming at basal third a nar- 

 row arcuate fascia not extending to the side margin, but along the suture to base, 

 at apical third, along the sides and thorax are a few small spots of white hairs. 

 Head convex, eyes oblique, emarginate, antennal fossae not visible from above, 

 close to the eyes; antennae piceous, reaching to the hind angles of thorax, joints 

 three to eight gradually decreasing in length, club relatively more compact than 

 in the other species. Prothorax at base broader than long, sides feebly narrow- 

 ing to about apical third, then slightly arcuately narrowing to apex; antebasal 

 carina broadly rounded at middle, not recurved at sides. Elytra twice as long 

 as the thorax, sides parallel, striae impressed, moderately punctate. Body beneath 

 rather sparsely clothed with cinereous pubescence. Tarsi as long or slightly 

 longer than the tibiae, claws feebly toothed. Length 2 mm. 



Brownsville, Texas, June and July. 



The nearly black pubescence of the upper surface and the well- 

 defined, narrow, arcuate, white post- basal fascia render the recogni- 

 tion of this species easy. The form is also slightly shorter and a 

 little more robust than pusillus, and the antennal fossre are nearer 

 the eyes than in any of our other species. 



Eusphyriis rectus n. sp. — Brown, with pale hairs intermixed, which 

 predominate on elytra, leaving there a subbasal spot, a postmedian sutural patch 

 and some smaller spots at apex, brown. Head convex, beak distinctly narrower 

 at base than at apex, the latter feebly emarginate ; eyes oblique, emarginate. 

 Basal joints of antennae pale, outer joints and club dark, the latter slightly more 

 compact than in walshii. Thorax broader at base than long, sides feebly narrow- 

 ing to about middle, then slightly more strongly to apex ; basal carina close to 

 the margin, straight, not arcuate, basal angles feebly prominent. Elytra striate, 

 striae punctate, rather densely pubescent with brown and pale hairs, basal mar- 

 gin slightly emarginate and feebly retracted. Underside sparsely pubescent 

 with cinereous hairs. Femora darker than the tibiae. Length 2 mm.
