Abundant in Texas. For a good set I am indebted to Mr. 
G. W. Belfrage, of Clifton, Bosque county. 
Several new species of Loxandrus were collected in Florida 
by Messrs. Schwarz and Hubbard, and full sets of previously 
known, but rare species were obtained. Under these cir- 
cumstances, though I cannot, without reference to types con- 
tained in Baron Chaudoir’s cabinet, prepare an exhaustive 
synopsis of the genus, the following table of the differences 
between the species I have examined may be found useful:
