rectis sulco cireumdatis, dorso subcanaliculato, ad basin depresso; mento valde concavo, postice anguste 
inciso.

Habitat; Florida (Osten Sacken), 
Syn. : Cremastocheilus sywamulosus. Leconte, Journ. Acad. Nat. Sci. Philad. 2nd Ser. iv. p. 17, 1858. 
This species is nearest in appearance to C. canaliculatus, but smaller, with the fovea at the anterior angles 
of the thorax larger, and the punctures smaller. The scales of the punctures, both on the thorax and elytra, 
readily distinguish it. The incision of the mentum is narrow. 
Species 7 (93)—CREMASTOCHEILUS JUNIOR. 
(Schaum, MS ; Verz. Lam. Melit. p. 64.) 
PuaTE XIV, Fie. 8. 
The late Dr. Schaum, in his letters to me in 1847 and 1848, mentioned a new species which he had 
received from Zimmerman (which he sent to me for delineation), inhabiting South Carolina, to which the latter 
had applied the name of Cr. junior; a name adopted in MS. by Schaum, but not occurring in his collection of 
these insects now preserved in the Royal Museum of Berlin. Nor is there any specimen agreeing with such 
a species (from South Carolina) with a slightly notched mentum, if we except the one numbered 41,577, which 
I believe to be identical with Cr. cicatricosus. The specimen sent to me by Dr. Schaum for delineation is 
represented in pl. XIV, fig. 8, and may possibly be identical with the Cr. sguamulosus of Leconte. 
It is black, moderately glossy, clothed with very short thick whitish sete; the body beneath is covered with 
shallow circular punctures emitting short scaly sete; it is convex, and not transversely or longitudinally im- 
pressed in the basal segments. The notch in the middle of the hind margin of the mentum is narrow. 
Species 8 (94)—CREMASTOCHEILUS PERCHERONTL. 
Prats II, Fie. 5. 
Longiusculus niger, parum nitidus, varioloso-punctatus punctis majoribus, elliptice striolatis, setigeris ; 
pronoto postice constricto, utrinque vix impresso, lateribus obtuse rotundato, angulis anticis et posticis 
auriculatis, obtusis ; clypeo glabro.

My figure of this species is engraved from a drawing by Wagenschieber, kindly sent me by Dr. Schaum, 
who described it as ‘not only very beautiful, but also very correct.’ The mentum is concave, with a shght 
notch in the middle of the hind margin, 
The descriptions of Schaum and Burmeister above referred to (given as variolosus K.) were both taken 
from specimens in the Germar and Halle Collections, sent from Say (as from North America), and from Zim- 
merman from South Carolina. 
‘The species is easily distinguished by the very slight notch of its mentum. The drawing of the latter, 
made by Wagenschieber, is correct; that of Guérin, in Gory’s book, is erroneous, Guérin having entirely 
overlooked the incisura. I have carefully compared the specimen in the Museum of Halle, from which I and 
Burmeister took the description. In my own description it is mentioned that the mentum has but an extremely 
slight incisura (p. 257), that the sides of the thorax are rounded, and that the punctures of the elytra bear 
yellow hairs. I remember perfectly well that this was the insect which Harris had under the name of 
variolosus Kirby ; he was therefore perfectly right in considering this species as distinct from Sayi, but wrong 
in considering it as variolosus Kirby.’ (Schaum in litt. 20 Oct. 1848.)
