SUPrLEMENT TO PSYCHE. 



[May i8,9. 



legs and antennae pale. Elytra beset with 

 sparse, extremely short and inconspicuous 

 liairs. Head very minutely and sparsely punc- 

 tulate; thorax more distinctly but still very 

 finely and sparsely punctulate; elytra less 

 finely, sparsely punctate. Prosternum 

 smooth; metasternum finely, sparsely punc- 

 tulate; abdomen smooth. 

 Length, i mm. 



Locality, Tucson, and Sabina Cailon 

 (foot of Sta. Catalina Mts.), Arizona; 

 type, U. S. Nat. Museum (Collection 

 Hubbard & Schwarz) . 



Closely allied to E. apicalis Lee, 

 but slightly smaller and less rapidly 

 narrowing behind; it differs by its 

 uniform pale color, distinct punctuation 

 of the upperside and the pubescence of 

 the elytra which, however, is barely 

 visible under ordinary magnif\ing 

 power. 



I have seen many specimens found 

 by Mr. Hubbard in decaying Cercus 

 gigafiteiis in December and January, 

 and also found it myself under the same 

 conditions in April 1S98 at Catalina 

 Springs, Ar. (foot of Sta. Catalina 

 Mts) . 



The Florida species mentioned by 

 Mr. Hubbard is specifically distinct 

 and remains undescribed. 



BoTHRiDEREs CACTOPIIAGI n. sp. (familv 

 Colydiidae) — Elongate-oblong, brown, not 

 densely pubescent. Head and thorax nearly 

 opaque, the former densely, moderately 

 coarsely punctate. Thorax longer than wide, 

 widest shortly behind the front angles, 

 which are prominent, hence narrowing to- 

 wards the base ; sides sliglitly arcuate, with 

 a tubercle just behind the middle; surface 

 coarsely, densely punctate, with two impres- 

 sions along the middle : the anterior one 



small, punctiform and sometimes obsolete, 

 the posterior one deeper, smooth and shining 

 at bottom and connected with the base of the 

 thorax by a sharply limited triangular im- 

 pression. Elytra somewhat shining, moder- 

 ately convex in both sexes, rather finely 

 striate, striae finely punctate, interstices 

 finely uniseriately punctulate, alternating in 

 width, the narrower ones more elevated, 

 more pubescent and subcariniform toward 

 ape.x. Prosternimi coarsely arid deeply 

 punctate; abdomen anteriorly very finely 

 and sparsely punctulate, toward tip a little 

 more coarsely and more densely. 

 Length, 2.S — 5 mm. 



Locality, Tucson, Arizona ; type 

 U. S. Nat. Museum (Collection Hub- 

 bard & Schwarz) . 



I have seen several lumdred speci- 

 mens, all of them more or less muti- 

 lated. Slightly more elongated than 

 either B. montaniis ox gemutatus and 

 distinguished at once by the form of the 

 posterior dorsal impression of the tho- 

 rax. The species was found by Mr. 

 H. G. Hubbard within old cocoons of 

 Cactophagus validns and is no doubt 

 parasitic in, or predaceous on the larva 

 of the Calandrid. 



CossoNUS HUHBARDi, n. sp. (family Cal- 

 andridac) — Form of body slightly less elon- 

 gate, and much less shining above, than in 

 any of the North American species referred 

 to this genus; surface subdepressed (about 

 as in C. corticola), color black, antennae and 

 legs red. Beak longer than half, the thorax, 

 subdepressed, shining, extremely feebly 

 dilated apically, the dilated portion longer 

 than the basal portion, sparsely finely punc- 

 tulate, basal portion coarsely punctate, the 

 punctuation extending over the front to the 

 hind margin of the eyes; front with a deep, 

 oblong fovea extending to the anterior part 

 of the vertex which is otherwise smooth,
