 bluish line; under surface shining, black, coarsely punctate, the abdomen 

 picescent, with pale apical margin and with less coarse though strong, 

 irregularly distributed punctures; legs pale testaceous, slender; head 

 three-fifths as wide as the prothorax, the eyes well developed but only 

 very moderately convex, the mandibles notably long, obscure rufous, 

 hooked at tip; surface sparsely punctate, smooth antero-medially, the 

 anterior impressions small and punctiform; palpi long and slender, the 

 third joint much longer than the fourth; antennae slender, fiavo-testa- 

 ceous; prothorax a fifth or sixth wider than long, widest behind the 

 middle, the sides thence feebly converging and slightly arcuate to the 

 feebly sinuate apex and just visibly converging, nearly straight and a 

 little more reflexed basally, the obtuse basal angles rounded at tip; 

 base oblique at each side, a third wider than the apex; surface coarsely, 

 closely punctate, the punctures basally not quite so coarse but denser; 

 median stria distinct; foveae linear and deep but broadly impressed, at 

 outer fifth, distant from the base; elytra broad, oblong, one-half longer 

 than wide, three-fifths wider than the prothorax, obtusely rounded at tip, 

 with feeble sinus, the sides very gradually rounding at base to the 

 thoracic angles; striae not very coarse but deeply incised, with moderate 

 punctures, very minute posteriad; intervals nearly flat, finely, not very 

 closely punctate, the hairs pale, rather stiff. Length (9) i3-5 mm.; 

 width 5.7 mm. Florida (Lake Worth), — Kinzel.

 sinuate labrum, less convex eyes, smaller prothorax, shorter and 

 relatively broader elytra, more slender femora and in other char-
