spots of longer whitish hair. Head and beak as in L. punctmasus, densely 

 rather finely punctured ; beak as long as the prothorax, rather stout, chan- 

 neled between the antennse, then obsoletely carinate to the frontal fovea ; 

 thinly pubescent. Prothorax a little longer than wide, gradually narrowed 

 from base to tip, very feebly rounded on the sides, base slightly oblique 

 each side, medial angle prolonged, acute ; disc densely rugosely punctu- 

 late, with scattered larger punctures; basal excavation small and deep. 

 Elytra scarcely wider than the base of the prothorax, but slightly rounded 

 near the baae ; tips separately acutely rounded ; basal impressions shallow, 

 striae composed of distant round punctures. Antennae brown, inserted 

 one-third from the tip. Length 8.5 mm.; .35 inch. 



Enterprise, Florida, one specimen ; Messrs. Hubbard and Schwarz. 

 Easily known by the small deep prothoracic excavation and the acute 

 scutellar lobe. 



Another specimen from Florida agrees in form and sculpture, but diflFers 

 by the beak more finely punctured, or rather punctulate, shining, and very 

 slightly pubescent. The basal excavation of the prothorax is larger, less 

 deep and vaguely channeled ; the medial angle is equally acute and pro- 

 longed. The elytra are separately but more obtusely rounded at tip. I 

 think this is the 9 correspanding to the (^ above described.

Massachusetts. By the kindness of Mr. E. P. Austin, two specimens of 

 this species were recently sent to me. On examination I found to my great 

 surprise, that it is a species of Oleonus closely allied to vittatus and sparsus, 

 but differing by the beak more finely punctured, and the elytra clothed with 

 uniform, finer, gray pubescence. The antennae are much stouter than in 

 Lixus, and the first and second joints of the hind tarsi are not spongy be- 

 neath. Length 9.5 mm. ; .375 inch.

2. Magdalis subtinctus, n. sp. 



Black, subopaque, elytra with a blue reflection. Beak shining, sparsely 

 punctured, head opaque, sparsely and finely punctured. Prothorax coarsely 

 and densely punctured, about as wide as long, angle near the tip acute 

 prominent, sides then sinuate to the basal angles which are acute and 

 prominent. El3'tra convex, graduallj^ slightly wider behind, striae strongly 

 punctured, interspaces very finely and densely rugose, almost alutaceous. 

 Thiglis with a small acute tooth, claws distinctly toothed near tlie base. 

 Length 4 mm. ; .15 inch. 



California, found by Mr. Crotch at Gilroy ; related to M. gracilis, but 

 the eyes are smaller and more flat, and the sides of the prothorax more
