LeConte. | 4.04. [Feb. 1, 
sub-parallel. Elytra uneven, with vague rows of feebly impressed striz. 
Length 2.5 mm.; .10 inch. 
Enterprise ; one specimen. Easily recognized by the small 
size, large head, not narrower than the prothorax, and by 
the latter not being narrowed in front. 
73. Nematodes punctatus, n. sp.—Elongate, scarcely narrower 
behind, brown, pubescent, strongly punctured. Epistoma at base equal 
in width to the space from it to the eyes. Antenne nearly half as 
long as the body, with the 2d and 4th joints equal, 3d a little longer, 5th 
and 6th still longer, sub-equal ; outer joints longer than wide, equal. Pro- 
thorax wider than long, scarcely narrowed in front, feebly channeled be- 
hind ; strongly and densely punctured. Elytral strize well-impressed, in- 
terspaces strongly punctured, feebly convex towards the base. Beneath 
punctured, last ventral obtusely pointed, and roughly asperate with ele- 
vated granules. Length 5.5 mm.; .21 inch. 
Enterprise; one specimen. A specimen from Texas (Bel- 
frage) agrees in all respects except that the antenne are 
short and less slender, with the 3d joint more evidently 
longer than the 2d or 4th. [am disposed to think the difter- 
ence is sexual. 
74. Anmchastus Longulus, n. sp.—Elongate, pubescent, red-brown, 
elytra and legs paler. Head densety and strongly punctured, front not 
concave, margin fine, not reflexed. Prothorax nearly one-half longer than 
wide, strongly and densely, not coarsely punctured, narrowed in front, 
sides nearly straight, hind angles bicarinate Elytra with punctured strie, 
interspaces nearly flat, finely not densely punctured. Antennz with 3d 
joint one-half longer than the 2d ; united equal to the 4th. Length 10 mm.; 
-40 inch. 
Enterprise; one specimen. A smaller specimen (7.2 mm.; 
.29 inch) from Louisiana was given me by Mr. Sallé, which 
is a little less elongate, but not otherwise different. 
7>. Amchastus fuscus, n. sp.—-Elongate, pubescent, dark fuscous 
above, red-brown beneath. Head coarsely punctured ; punctures umbili- 
cate, front broadly concave. Prothorax coarsely punctured, longer than 
wide, gradually narrowed in front, sides straight, hind angles unicarinate. 
Elytra with coarsely punctured strie, interspaces convex, sparsely and 
finely punctured. Antenne brown, half as long as the body, strongly 
serrate, 2d joint very small, 3d as large as the 4th. Length 7.5 mm.; .30 
inch. 
Enteyprise, June; one specimen. 
76. Amchastus asper, n. sp.—Smaller and more robust, dark brown,
