 This insect is similar to the LeptiircE in general appearance, and 

 is entirely black, except the mouth parts, sides of thorax above and 

 beneath, humeri and half the epipleurae red. Thorax narrowed in 

 front, posterior angles acute and distinct. Elytra densely punctulate.

Before entering upon the last great division of the family, it is 

 proper to mention certain species which have been discovered since 

 the tribes they enter were treated. These are: 

 Hypexills pallida Horn, Trans. Am. Ent. Soc. xii, 177. 

 Length .22 inch.; 5.5 mm. Hab. — Texas. 



"Slender, pale testaceous. Head across the eyes wider than the thorax, 

 surface coarsely punctured. Thorax elongate, one-third longer than wide, 

 sides at apical third parallel, then gradually wider to two-thirds, arcuately 

 narrowing to base, which is slightly wider than the apex, disc slightly flaUened 

 posteriorly, surface rather coarsely punctured and rugulose. Elytra wider 

 than the thorax, humeri distinct; sides straight, slightly converging; apices 

 separately rounded, suture at tip slightly dehiscent, disc rather flat, a vague 

 elevation from the humeri to near the tip; surface evenly and closely punctate, 

 more finely than the thorax. Thorax beneath coarsely, but sparsely punc- 

 tate; abdomen shining, very sparsely punctate." 



Gracilia obliquata Horn, 1. c. p. 174. 



Length .20 inch.; 5 mm. //a;^.— Texas. 



"Form slender, pale brownish testaceous, subopaque. Head behind 

 the eyes moderately coarsely punctate. Thorax oval, a little longer than 

 wide, slightly narrower at base than apex, sides moderately arcuate, disc 

 feebly convex, a vague median sulcus and one on each side, oblique, slightly 

 in front of middle ; surface moderately coarsely punctate. Elytra slightly 

 wider than the thorax; sides parallel, apices separately rounded, disc subde- 

 pressed, a vague oblique depression on each side from the humeri to the 

 suture; surface finely pubescent, rather sparsely punctate, the intervals very 

 finely granular, apices nearly smooth. Thorax beneath coarsely not closely 

 punctate; abdomen moderately shining, very sparsely punctate. Femora 

 very strongly clavate." 



Necydalis barbarae Rivers, Ent. Am. vi, p. 112. 

 Length 22 mm.; .87 inch. Hab. — California. 



The description of this species having been recently printed jn 

 this journal, need not be here repeated.
