14- TINOBREGMUS VITTATUS, n. sp. 



Form of Liburm'a 7iittatifrous Uhler nearly; tawny yellow marked 

 with darker. Length 6'< mm. 



Vertex twice as long as its least width, its disc slightly raised above 

 the level of the eyes, shagreened and obliquely furrowed anteriorly, ocelli 

 a little more distant from one another than from the eyes. Front feebly 

 convex, closely punctured, its length three times the width at the extremi- 

 ties, sides moderately arcuated. Clypeus as broad as the apex of the front, 

 slightly widened to the point of the cheek then narrowed to the broad apex 

 which is excavated for two thirds of its width. Lorae narrower then the 

 clypeus and about one-half its length. Cheeks about the breadth of the 

 front, widest opposite the base of the clypeus, sides parallel above, surface 

 distinctly wrinkled without. Pronotum shorter than the vertex, the sides 

 rounded, ecariiiate, disc obsoletely transversely wrinkled. Pygofers large 

 considerably exceeded by the stout oviduct. Last ventral segment long, 

 feebly keeled, the hind edge subangularly produced on the middle. Hind 

 tarsi elongated, first joint longest, second short. 



Color pale tawny yellow. An arcuated spot behind each ocellus and 

 the basal sutures of the front piceous; front marked with a broad longitu- 

 dinal vitta on each side in which may be indications of tranverse striae; 

 pronotum with six longitudinal vittae, the middle pair fulvous, the others 

 piceous. Elytra dusky-fulvous with heavy pale nervures and about four 

 fuscous spots next the apex. Tergum mostly black at base, the four apical 

 segments with an obscure transverse brown band across the middle of each 

 and a common indistinct median line ; genital segments piceous on the sides. 

 Pectoral pieces mostly black which color may be extended over the coxae 

 and base of the venter. 



Florida. Described from two female .specimens received 

 from Mr. C. W. Johnson of Philadelphia. 



XESTOCEPHALUS, n. g. 



Trans. Am. Ent. Soc. XIX, p. 298, Dec. 1S89. 



Form ovate. Head narrower than the pronotum tumid or subeonical 

 and rounded before, closely punctured, without ruga;, Veitex sloping, con- 

 vex in both diameters, ocelli on the rounded anterior edge of the head, 

 placed a little superiorly and distant from the eyes. Front very broad above, 

 tapering rapidly to the broad and short clypeus. Cheeks wide; temples 

 very narrow, antennae crowded close against the eyes, basal joint rather 

 long. Eyes subtriangular, a little excavated against the antennae. Elytra 

 almost coriaceous, more or less rugose or punctured, appendix wanting; 

 inner branch of the outer sector united to the second sector by two trans- 

 verse nervures ; apical areolesfive, the postnodal large, the second still larger ; 

 anti-apicals three, the outer small and narrow, the middle as large as both 

 the others. Wings forming a narrow margin exterior to the costal nervure, 

 the latter forked at the stigma, the outer branch evanescent, the inner 

 united to the outer branch of the adjoining nervure by a transverse veinlet 

 long before the apex ; marginal vein extending only to the inner sector as in 

 Acocephalus; the four apical nervures either attain the edge of the wing 

 or they end blindly.
