1878.] 361 (Schwarz. 
A single specimen from Enterprise, found in May, attracted 
by the light, is before me, another specimen from Tampa is 
in the cabinet of Dr. LeConte. Smaller and narrower than 
the smallest females of V. marginipennis and very distinct, 
especially by the form of the head and by the small, round 
eyes. 
13. Philothermus puberulus, n. sp.—Elongate-elliptical, trans- 
versely convex, dark chestnut-colored, shining, above with distinct, fine, 
erect pubescence and with some longer hairs at the sides. Head sparsely 
punctured, antenne shorter than in Ph. glabriculus, apparently 10-jointed, 
joints 2 and 3 slender, the following six joints small, 7-9 strongly trans- 
verse, joints 10 and 11 forming a solid club as in Cerylon. Thorax less 
transverse and less strongly margined than in Ph. glabrieulus, rounded on 
the sides, moderately sparsely punctured. Scutellum transverse, shining, 
with a few punctures. Elytra strongly striate-punctate, interstices finely, 
sparsely punctulate. Prosternum and propleure distinctly, not densely, 
metasternum and first ventral segment in the middle finely and sparsely, 
at the sides very coarsely punctured, segment 2-4 each with two trans- 
verse rows of strong punctures, last segment more finely punctulate ; legs 
testaceous. Length 2mm. ; .075 inch. 
Abundant in Florida under old bark of Pinus palustris. 
Smaller, narrower and more convex transversely than Ph. 
glabriculus, with the sculpture above and beneath stronger and 
at once distinguished by the much more evident pubescence 
and by the form of the antennal club. By this iast charac- 
ter Ph. puberulus forms a passage to Cerylon. Sexual charac- 
ters are not evident ; some specimens have the sides of thorax 
less rounded ; these are probably the males. 
14. Olibrus princeps, n. sp—.Rounded-oval, pale rufo-testaceous, 
thorax with a large brownish discoidal spot. Elytra black each with a 
large, oval, bright orange-colored spot at the suture before the middle, 
outer half of the basal margin and the lateral margin narrowly, apex 
broader yellow ; very finely striate, strize minutely and remotely punctu- 
late, interstices obsoletely sparsely punctulate, punctures more distinct 
near the lateral margin. “The sutural stria alone is deeper impressed ; mes- 
osternum not protuberant. Length 2.5 mm.; .10 inch. 
One specimen in the collection of Mr. H. G. Hubbard 
from New Smyrna; another specimen found by me at En- 
terprise in May is in the cabinet of Dr. LeConte. A very 
striking species by its color, belonging in the group of O. 
apicalis.
