420 APPENDIX. 



[LeConte. 



claws are approximate and connate at base. It is therefore to be placed 

 next to P. nigrinus, which has the pectoral groove deeper and more sharply 

 defined than in the other species of Pseudobaris. I observe a few white 

 scales at the base of the third interspace, which represent the more conspi- 

 cuous spot seen in the others. 



1-2 Pseudobaris pectoralis, n. sp. 



Black, not very shining, oval, subelongate. Beak as long as the pro- 

 thorax, cylindrical, not stout, coarsely punctured on the sides, more sparsely 

 and more finely above, separated from the head by a distinct constriction ; 

 head with a few small scattered punctures. Prothorax as wide at base as 

 the length, rapidly obliquely narrowed in front, scarcely rounded on the 

 sides, moderately constricted near the tip ; base with the scutellar lobe 

 broad and obtusely rounded ; disc coarsely punctured, more densely and 

 somewhat confluently at the sides ; dorsal line indistinct. Elytra with 

 deep, indistinctly punctured striae ; interspaces a little wider than the striae, 

 each with a single row of large, deep punctures. Beneath coarsely punc- 

 tured; punctures becoming smaller, but not more distant upon the abdo- 

 men. Prosternum with a broad, deep groove in front of the coxae, limited 

 by parallel acute ridges ; claws small, connate at base. Length 4.4 mm. ; 

 .175 inch. 



New Smyrna, Florida ; one specimen, Mr. E. A. Schwarz. This species is 

 related to P. anthracina, but differs by the prothorax more obliquely nar- 

 rowed in front, and less rounded on the sides, and by the deep punctures 

 of the interspaces of the elytra. 



p. 298. Change P. angusta to angustula ; the former name being pre- 

 occupied in Baris. The pectoral groove is deep and sharply defined as in 

 P. nigrina.

2. Stethobaris corpulentus, n. sp. 



Larger, broader and more convex than 8. tubulatus, shining black. 

 Beak long, curved, not very slender, sparsely, finely punctured above, 

 more coarsely at the sides, separated from the head by an indistinct con - 

 striction ; head sparsely and finely punctured. Prothorax much broader 

 than long, very much rounded on the sides, and narrowed in front, strongly 

 tubularly constricted near the tip ; disc sparsely and not coarsely punc- 

 tured ; basal lobe broad, short, truncate. Elytra gradually wider for a 

 short distance, and forming an obtuse angle with the rounded sides of the 

 prothorax, then obliquely narrowed and rounded, entirely covering the 

 pygidium ; striae very deep, impunctured ; interspaces wider than the striae, 

 with a few scarcely perceptible punctures. Beneath coarsely punctured ; 

 third and fourth ventral segments with a single transverse row of punc- 

 tures ; fifth densely, more finely punctured. Prosternum with a broad 

 groove, distinctly limited by acute ridges. Length 3.4 mm. ; .13 inch. 



Tampa, Florida ; one specimen, Mr. E. A. Schwarz.

Prothorax punctured ; constriction near the tip.
