New York to Texas. 



3. T. variegatus. Analcis oar. Horn, Pr. Am. Phil. Soc. 1873, 408. 

 Southern and Western States. 



4. T. fragarise. Analcis frag. Riley, Report on Insects of Missouri, iii, 

 42, fig. 14: Horn, loc. eit. 469. 



Illinois and Missouri, infesting strawberry vines. 



5. T. longum, n. sp. 



Elongate, black, densely clothed with small black scales, which make 

 the surface opaque; mottled irregularly with white on the elytra. Beak 

 strongly punctured. Prothorax longer than wide, widest at the middle, 

 where the sides are strongly rounded, much narrowed in front, feebly nar- 

 rowed behind, feebly constricted near the tip, which is broadly rounded; 

 coarsely and confluently punctured, very finely, almost imperceptibly cari- 

 nate. Elytra scarcely wider than the prothorax, cylindrical, elongate, l»ase 

 truncate, humeri rectangular rounded; striae deep, composed of large ap- 

 proximate punctures, interspaces narrow, the outer ones convex. Beneath 

 coarsely punctured, somewhat shining; thighs obsoletely toothed. Length 

 3.7 mm. ; .15 inch. 



One specimen, Haulover, Florida; Messrs. Hubbard and Sehwarz. Very- 

 distinct by the more elongate form, and denser sculpture; the beak is also 

 longer and more slender, but the mesosternum, as in the other species, is- 

 only feebly emarginate. 



Division II. 



In this division the color is metallic, the surface glabrous; the sculpture 

 fine, or even indistinct, and the abdomen smooth, or partly so. 



6. T. sereum. Bagous cereus Say, Cure. 29; ed. Lee. i, 297; Analcis 

 (ereus Rosensch., Sch. Cure. iv. 279; Horn, Proc. Am. Phil. Soe. 1873, 460. 



The specimens of T. (ereii?7i as observed by Dr. Horn vary greatly in 

 size and sculpture; in some the prothorax is nearly smooth, in others it is 

 sparsely and coarsely punctured on the fianl^s; in others again the disc is 

 in addition distinetlj^ punctured. 



With an increased series of specimens I observe that in two individuals 

 the disc of the prothorax is deeply and sparsely punctured, and the flanks 

 coarsely punctured; the ventral segments 1-2 are very distantly and finely 

 punctured; the third and fourth are deeply, transversely impressed, and the 

 front or convex part is marked Avitli a series of fine punctures; the fifth 

 joint is sparsely but deeply punctured. Length 3.6 mm.; .14 inch. 



Middle and Western States. 



In specimens from South Carolina and Florida, of large size, the pro- 

 thorax even on the flanks is smooth; the punctures of the elytra less regu- 

 lar and larger, the surface somewhat rugose, and the ventral segments are 

 smooth, the fifth is transversely concave near the tip; the metasternum is
