1917] HololeptincB of the United States 393 



combined with a single tooth on the hind tibiae. One specimen 

 has four small teeth on the lower crest of the middle tibiae 

 and three on the hind; one specimen has the 4-3 condition 

 on one side and the 2-2 condition on the other. Two specimens 

 from Mexico have one tooth only on the lower crest of both 

 hind and middle tibiae. 



It is reported to occur in decaying palmetto {Saba!) by 

 Schwarz. 



Hololepta (Leionota) decimstriata sp. nov. 



Oval. Front minutely punctate; supraorbital stria entirely lacking. 

 Mandibles as long as head, punctulate. Pronotum bisinuate at base 

 with a very faint median striae, which does not reach the base and 

 extends forward past the middle; marginal stria as in quadridentata. 

 Elytra longitudinally tristriate, the first stria short, basal, one-third 

 the length of elytra, second entire, slightly arcuate, third short on the 

 apical sixth; at the base of the elytra there is a short, deeply impressed 

 transverse stria, equidistant from the second longitudinal stria and the 

 scutellum. Subhumeral stria deep, rugose, abbreviated at base, reaching 

 the basal fourth and almost reaching the apex; a series of confused 

 punctures between the apical end of the subhumeral and the apical 

 end of the second stria. Infiexed flanks not rugose. 



Propygidium moderately convex, with large punctures laterally 

 which grow finer towards the disk and apex; disk smooth. Pygidium 

 with coarse, moderately dense punctures laterally, which become finer 

 and more distant towards the center and apex. 



Mentum as in quadridentata. Prostemum with the apex more 

 broadly rounded than in quadridentata. 



Length 5 mm. Type in my collection. 



Distribution, Enterprise, Florida (Beutenmuller). 



Hololepta (Leionota) bifoveolata sp. nov. 



Oval. Front without strides; supraorbital stria lacking or very 

 short, punctiform; mandibles as long as the head. Prothorax with the 

 marginal stria deeply impressed, extending around the posterior angles 

 and interrupted slightly anterior to the middle. Just behind the 

 interruption the margin is slightly flattened on the outer surface, pro- 

 ducing a very slight emargination when seen from above. Elytra with 

 two dorsal stria, the first strongly impressed, about one-third the 

 length of the elytra, the second less strongly impressed, entire, broad- 

 ening to a shallow fovea at apex. Subhumeral stria almost as in the 

 preceding but more deeply and narrowly impressed. At a point not 

 quite half-way between the second dorsal and the suture, there is at 

 the base of the elytra a small area, roughened by two or three short
