longitudinal lines, from which a very finely impressed line extends along 

 the base almost to the scutellum; on each side of the scutellum on the 

 el^^tra is a deeply impressed, narrow fovea, into which the light line 

 mentioned above sometimes runs. Propygidium and pygidium as in 

 the preceding. Mentum as in quadridentata. Prostemum broad, 

 elevated, tnmcate, slightly depressed at the tip, the edges of the depres- 

 sion elevated. Hind tibiae with the lower crest unidentate, middle 

 tibias with the lower crest bidentate, the teeth widely separate. 

 Length 4 mm. Type and paratype in my collection. 



Distribution, Enterprise, Florida. 



Hololepta (Leionota) interrupta Marseul. Mon. p. 214, pi. 5, fig. 11. 1853. 

 Similar in all respects to Hololepta quadridentata, sp'. minor, except 

 that the second dorsal stria is interrupted behind the middle, and the 

 secondary sexual thoracic fossa of the male is rather better developed. 

 Length 4 mm. 



Type locality, Cuba. Florida (2). 



Two specimens from Florida ( d^, 9 ), I assign to this species. 

 The male agrees with Marseul's description; the female has the 

 second dorsal twice interrupted, in the basal third and just 

 behind the middle. Marseul states that this species may be 

 told from quadridentata by the more lightly punctate pygidium 

 and propygidium, and the "usually" interrupted second stria. 

 He includes this species in his key under the forms which have 

 the second stria entire. The punctation of the pygidium and 

 propygidium of quadridentata I have shown to be variable, and 

 I should consider this form to be a variety of quadridentata 

 were it not for the fact that when an entire stria is interrupted, 

 the interruption nearly always takes place in the basal third, 

 and the apical portion of the stria becomes shorter progressively. 

 Neither of my specimens shows this condition; the female 

 specimen has an interruption in the basal third, but there is a 

 short stria between this and the more apical interruption. 

 This condition leads me to believe that the apical interruption 

 was the first, and the latter interruption came as it does in a 

 variable stria.
