p. 225. Modify the table of Conotrachelus as follows : 



2. Prothorax not sulcate, usually carmate : I. 



(A. Beak rather stout, curved, thighs bidentate 



B. Beak slender, very long, thighs unidentate 



C. Beak rather stout, curved, thighs unidentate) 



Division I, A will remain as denned, but in p. 229 to C. nivosus must 



be added as a synonym C. i 1 '.yitit s, p. 233, which is only a poorly de- 

 veloped $ in which the denticle of the thighs has almost become obsolete, 

 thus causing them to appear unidentate. 



Division I, B will contain the species in a and b of the table, on p. 229 ; 

 viz.: cratcBji, adspersm, similis, naso, and 



11-12. Conotrachelus Belfragei, n. sp. 



Of the same form as C. similis, but much smaller ; brown, clothed with 

 brown and fulvous pubescent with a very large white spot each side of the 

 prothorax, and another saddle-shaped one behind the middle of the elytra. 

 Head densely clothed with fulvous pubescence ; beak half as long as the 

 body, slender, very slightly curved, shining, sparsely punctured, substriate 

 and more coarsely punctured on the sides near the base, antennae inserted 

 about the middle. Prothorax wider than long, sides nearly parallel from the 

 base for one-half the length; then rounded and obliquely narrowed to the tip; 

 disc densely and coarsely punctured, with a few white hairs on the medial 

 line, and a very large spot of white pubescence extending from the sides 

 over two -thirds of the surface ; this spot has two narrow prolongations, 

 the anterior one oblique and reaching the apex, the other transverse, nearly 

 attaining the median line. Elytra one-half wider than the prothorax at base, 

 humeri slightly oblique, angulated, but not dentate, sides converging be- 

 hind from the humeral angles ; striae composed of very large and deep 

 quadrate fovece, almost contiguous, except where separated by elevated 

 crests, of which the 3d interspace has one near the base, a very large one 

 about the middle, and a smaller one behind the middle ; the 5th, 7th and 9th 

 interspaces are narrow and carinate, and on the 8th there is a small tuber- 

 cle near the tip, clothed with white hair; there are besides two short lines 

 of white pubescence at the base of each elytron. Under surface densely 

 punctured, abdomen with three rows of white spots. Thighs with a broad 

 white ring, and a large acute tooth. Length 4 mm. ; .16 inch. 



Texas, one specimen, Mr. Belfrage. 



p. 247 to 2. Pseudomus sedentarius add. 



A specimen was collected at Enterprise, Florida, and kindly sent me by 

 Mr. E. A. Schwarz. It differs from P. truncatus not only by the thighs 

 being unarmed, and by the elytral spot not being narrowed at the tip, but 

 also by the form of body which is elongate and subfusiform, while in P. 

 truncatus it is much stouter, with the prothorax broader than long, and 

 much more narrowed in front. The prothorax and elytra are marked with 

 several small spots of mixed yellow and white scales. Length 4.3 mm.; 

 .17 inch. 



p. 289. -Aulobaris antfiracina, transfer to Pseudobaris p. 297 and add. 



The examination of a second specimen in better condition shows that the
