and the 11th longer and acute at tip in A. ater: and nearly the same in A. 

 siibcoRruleus : in A. cassandrce the last joint is more obtuse, and the club is 

 rather less loosely formed, 



p. 7. Change the table of RhyncMtes as follows : 



5. Color black bronzed 2. seneus. 



' ' blue 3. mexicanus. 



" golden, tinged with green exiraius. 



3-4. Rhynchites eximius, n. sp. 



Bright golden, tinged with green and red, clothed with erect black hairs, 

 which are shorter than in the two species above named, beak as long as the 

 head and prothorax, slightly broader at tip, rather stout, slightly curved, 

 rugose, bisulcate and feebly carinate behind the antennae ; lateral edges 

 sharply defined ; an elongate fovea between the antennae. Head finely 

 transversely rugose behind, sparsely and strongly punctured in front, not 

 channeled. Prothorax about as wide as long, somewhat narrowed in front, 

 rounded on the sides, sparsely and strongly punctured ; tip constricted at 

 the sides, base distinctly margined. Elytra nearly one-half wider than the 

 prothorax, striae composed of deep punctures, which are not much larger 

 than those of the interspaces. Under surface, legs and beak, dark metallic 

 green. Antennae black, inserted about the middle of the length of the 

 beak and extending beyond the base of the elytra. Length 3.7 mm.; .15 

 inch. 



New Mexico, Dr. Horn. A very distinct species. 



p. 96. Phaeepholis elegans. I have three specimens from New Mexico, 

 agreeing in all respects with the others, except that the scales are dirty 

 gray, not at all metallic. 



p. 80. Dirotog-nathus sordidus. Specimens collected by Mr. Crotch, 

 at Lake Labache, British Columbia, are of smaller size (3-2 mm. ; .125 

 inch), and the prothorax is somewhat broader than in the Mohave and 

 Arizona specimens, but do not differ otherwise. 



p. 114. in table of Sitones, add in 3 : 

 Elytra nearly uniform gray-brown, form less elongate, 



bristles longer ; prothorax with three paler stripes hispidulus. 



4-5. Sitones hispidulus Germ., Sch. Cure. ii. 123 ; Allard, Ann. 

 Ent. Fr., 1804, 376; S. luemon'hoidaUs, Sch., Cure. ii. 115. 



This common European species occurred abundantly at the sea-shore 

 near Long Branch, New Jersey, in July, about the roots of grass growing 

 on the dunes. It is easily known by the long bristles of the elytra, which 

 in our specimens are only slightly variegated in color.

Beak, channeled 5. simplex. 



Beak flat, not at all channeled 6. planirostris.
