Black or piceous, shining. Head quite smooth except frons 

 and rostrum which are moderately finely and sparsely punctured. 

 Eyes moderately prominent, protruding well beyond the lateral 

 margin of head, vertex with a deeply impressed linear puncture 

 slightly above the eyes, diameter of head across eyes slightly less 

 than one third greater than breadth of dilated portion of rostrum. 

 Rostrum scarcely as long as half the thorax, basal portion about 

 equal to apical, broad, slightly compressed laterally, at its begin- 

 ning about two thirds the diameter of apical portion, sides gradu- 

 ally divergent to apical portion, the apical portion quadrilaterally 

 dilated, somewhat flat and broader than long. Joints of funicle 

 of antennge short and broad, gradually increasing in width out- 

 wards, the outermost less than one half diameter of club. 



Prothorax distinctly longer than broad, base bisinuate, sides at 

 base rounded and constricted, broadest a little in front of base, 

 then slightly rounded and convergent until near apex where but 

 slightly constricted. Surface somewhat flattened above, moder- 

 ately coarsely and closely punctured at sides, finer, more irregu- 

 larly and sparsely punctured above at outer side, and more coarsely 

 and closely punctured in triangular depression at base. Extend- 

 ing forwards through this basal impression is a somewhat elevated 

 smooth carina which is a little less than one third the length of 

 the thorax. 



Elytra not wider than the thorax, moderately convex, striate, 

 striae moderately coarsely and serrately punctured, finer apically, 

 intervals somewhat flat and indistinctly uniseriately punctulate. 



Body beneath sparsely punctured, moderately coarsely in front 

 and rather finely behind. 



Length 3-3.5 mm., breadth .75 mm. 



Occurs in southern Florida, Kissimee, Key Largo and Key 

 West, Cuba and Jamaica, and in Mexico and the states of Central 

 America. 



The Florida specimens are generally rufous, the more southern 

 darker, vide Champion. This is the species which was hsted by
