this stripe the pronotmii is grayish or dull-white, somewhat mottled.

 some dim dots of black are sometimes visible along the disk. Wings 

 transparent, tinged with greenish-yellow. Abdomen a shining brown; 

 valves of the ovipositor d all-white. Posterior femora with the under 

 edge and inner face dull-yellowish, with an indistinct greeuish-bi-own 

 band near the knee ; upper carinse bluish or greenish; i^osterior tibia? 

 dark -blue ; tarsi blue. 



Dimensions. — 2, length, 1.50 inches; elytra, 0.95 inch; x>osterior fe- 

 mora, 0.87 inch ; posterior tibiae, 0.77 inch. 



Add. — Lateral cariute of the face distinct, slightly divergent; frontal 

 costa reaches the clypeus. Antennse a little longer than the head and 

 thorax; joints subdistinct. Prouotum rather longer than usual. 



Florida. Received from the Agricultural Department. Specimen 

 quite fresh in color. 



Galoptenus Jceelerii, sp. nov. 



Vertex quite narrow between the eyes, slightly and somewhat hexa- 

 gonally exj)anding in front. Frontal costal moderately broad and of 

 nearly uniform width throughout, slightly indented at the ocellus, other- 

 wise in no way sulcate, fading or becoming obsolete before reaching the 

 clypeus ; lateral . carinfe diverging toward the corners of the face. 

 The pronotum regularly but very slightly expanding posteriorly, the 

 front being just the same width as the head; the median carina minute 

 but distinct throughout; the three transverse incisions moderately dis- 

 tinct, the. posterior one a little behind the middle ; the posterior ex- 

 tremity forms nearly a right angle, rounded at the apex. Elytra passing 

 the abdomen, somewhat narrow and elongate-lanceolate, the lower (cos- 

 tal) margin not dilated at any point. Wmgs nearly the same length as 

 the elytra. Posterior femora passing the abdomen. Antennce a little 

 longer than the head and thorax. The prosternal spine robust, sub- 

 cylindrical, slightly bent backward, obliquely truncate at the apex, 

 slightly transverse. 



Color. — Brown, varied with purplish red. Face, disk of the prono- 

 tum, and upper edges of all the femora purplish-red. The black stripe 

 behind the eye broad and indistinct, the lower edge not well defined, 

 reaching only to the posterior sulcus of the pronotum. An oblique, 

 pale, narrow stripe extends from the base of the elytra to the insertion 

 of the posterior legs. Elytra brownish, with minute fuscous dots and 

 somewhat cellular spots along the disk; these spots and dots are some- 

 what indistinct and run together. Wings transparent, tinged with yel- 

 low. Posterior femora with two oblique black bands on the exterior 

 face, and two transverse bands; a basal and apical spot of black on the 

 inner face; the lower margin of the internal face olive or olive-red. 

 Posterior tibia brick-red; base yellowish, with a black ringjust below it. 



Dimensions. — 2, Length, 1.12 inches; elytra, 0.88 inch; posterior 

 femora, 0.70 inch; posterior tibite, 0.G3 inch. 



Collected in Florida by Mr. Keeler, and by him forwarded to the Ag- 

 ricultural Department, where they are now deposited. Although the 

 description would seem to indicate that this species is very closely allied 

 to the common C. fenmr-rubrum, yet this is not the case, as it is quite 

 distinct.

 izontal, advanced in front equal to the space behind the eyes; sides for
