LeConte.] 422 {Feb. 1, 
with a large, basal puncture each side. Elytra finely striate, interspaces 
wide, flat, smooth. Under surface towards the sides very finely scabro- 
punctulate. Legs black, front thighs nearly smooth, middle and hind thighs 
coarsely and sparsely punctured ; tibiee densely punctured. Length 7 mm. 
28 inch. 
Haulover; abundant on the ocean shore. Larger and stouter 
than P. testacea, and easily known by the black and coarsely 
punctured legs. In this respect it resembles P. pilifera from 
Lower California, from which it differs only by the epipleuree 
being smooth and glabrous, while in P. pilifera they are punc- 
tured and setose. 
121. Platydema crenatum, pn. sp.—Oval, rather elongate, con- 
vex, black, shining. Head punctured in front, transverse impression 
faint. Prothorax sparsely, finely punctulate, base bisinuate, not margined, 
each side with a broad, shallow impression. Elytra with deep, very 
coarsely punctured striz. Beneath punctured, last two ventral segments 
nearly smooth. Antenne, palpi and tarsi brown ; prosternum convex be- 
tween the coxie, point inflexed, not prominent. Length 4.5 mm.; .18 inch. 
Haulover; one specimen. More convex than P. levipes, 
and very distinct by the coarsely punctured elytral stri. 
122. Hypophleeus glaber, n. sp.—Cylindrical, red-brown, shining, 
with erect hairs. Head densely and finely punctured, transverse line 
well-impressed. Prothorax longer than wide, convex, finely punctured, 
sides nearly straight, finely margined, front angles not prominent, almost 
rounded. LElytra finely, rather densely punctured. Pygidium equally, 
densely, finely punctured. Abdomen less densely punctured, 5th ventral 
segment vague, impressed. Length 3 mm.; .12 inch. 
Tampa; two specimens, also found in Georgia, under pine 
bark. This species is smaller, narrower and more convex 
than H. parallelus, and differs by the front angles of the 
prothorax not being acute and prominent. It has the same 
form as. H. thoracicus and piliger, but differs by the elytra 
being more finely punctured, without erect hairs, and by the 
pygidium being not sparsely but densely punctured. 
I do not find mentioned in any work that the 3d, 4th and 
5th ventral segments in this genus are longitudinally, deeply 
impressed near the sides, so that the margin appears to be 
thickened. 
123. Wypophieeus piliger, uv. sp.—Slender, cylindrical, convex, 
red-brown, shining. Head punctured, transverse line obsolete, front with
