Schwarz. ] 3 ‘ 2 {Feb. 1, 
jndefinite impressions, with no distinct basal impression ; color piceous, 
base and apex reddish. Elytra oblong, at base twice as wide as the thorax, 
parallel at the sides, somewhat shining, coarser and less densely punctured 
than the thorax ; near the base with a reddish, angulated, whitish, pubes- 
cent fascia, near the apex with several other whitish pubescent spots, which 
form two interrupted fasciz. Beneath piceous ; sterna opaque, finely pubes- 
cent, densely punctulate ; abdomen glabrous, shining, at base coarsely, at 
tip finely punctulate. Front legs and all the tibiz pale, intermediate 
femora infuscate at base, hind femora piceous. Length 1.5 mm.; .06 inch. 
Enterprise and New Smyrna, two specimens, in which I 
do not see sexual characters. This species has the appear- 
ance of a small Pinus, and is distinguished at once from all 
species, except the X. ventricosus Lec., by the form of the head. 
The latter species has the head still more immersed in the 
thorax, the eyes touching the front margin of the thorax, 
but is otherwise quite distinct from YX. ptinoides. 
2). Glipa hieroglyphica, n. sp.—Elongate, cuneiform, black, 
head anteriorly densely covered with yellowish cinereous pubescence, 
posteriorly more sparsely pubescent, hind margin fringed with cinereous 
pubescence ; antenne from the fourth joint broadly serrate ; maxillary 
palpi testaceous, upper edge black, last joint very broadly securiform, flat, 
apical edge not hollowed out. Thorax transverse, at apex produced in the 
middle, basal lobe rounded ; densely punctulate, cinereo-pubescent, with 
the usual black spots. Scutellum rounded triangular, densely whitish 
pubescent. Elytra opaque, densely punctured, grayish pubescent ; each 
with a narrowed angulated line, which begins at the scutellum and ends 
at the side margin a little before the middle, resembling rudely the figure 
. on the left, and on the right elytron the same figure reversed, and with a 
narrow oblique fascia at the apical third, cinero-pubescent. Beneath 
densely cinereo-pubescent ; anterior femora pale testaceous, black at tip, 
anal style long, carinate above, at the tip emarginate, and densely cinereo- 
pubescent, fifth ventral segment longitudinally excavated. Length 10.5- 
11.25 mm.; .42—.45 inch. 
Enterprise, four specimens in May. In one specimen the 
penultimate joint of the maxillary palpi is fringed intern- 
ally with dense whitish pubescence; this is probably the &. 
I have not been able to compare this species with G‘. hilaris, 
which, according to the description given by Dr. LeConte 
(Proc. Ac. Nat. Sc., Phil., 1862, p. 46), has the last joint of 
the maxillary: palpi hollowed out, and which has different 
markings on the elytra.* 
*In four specimens of G. hilaris examined the 5th ventral segment is not lon- 
gitudinally impressed. Lec.
