BARINiE 463 



set punctures, confused medially along the third. Length (9 ) 4.I mm.; 

 width 1.76 mm. Canada (Winnipeg, Manitoba). Further determina- 

 tive data unrecorded. One e.xample. 



Resembles the Californian procera very closely in color, sculpture 

 and in its almost glabrous and subalutaceous surface, but it differs 

 in its much shorter, stouter and rather more convex form and nar- 

 rower tubulate apex of the prothorax. 



*Centrinogyna hispidula n. sp. — Oblong, convex, piceous, the beak 

 blackish; elytra, under surface and legs red-brown, slightly shining; 

 vestiture above consisting of rather long and suberect coarse hairs, 

 whitish in color, distinct throughout the pronotum but closer toward the 

 sides, sparse but distinct throughout the elytra but closer on the third 

 interval, especially in a dense basal spot, sparse but white and distinct 

 on the under surface; beak in the female rather thick, subcylindric, 

 feebly tapering, arcuate, minutely punctulate except basally and as long 

 as the head and prothorax, the antennae at three-fifths; prothorax a 

 third wider than long, the sides parallel, broadly arcuate, rounding 

 rapidly before the middle to the tubulate apex, which is four-sevenths 

 as wide as the base; sculpture strong and dense, consisting of long 

 anastomosing rugae, the smooth median line entire; scutellum small, 

 narrow, nude, polished and black; elytra one-half longer than wide, a 

 little wider than the prothorax and nearly four-fifths longer, the sides 

 feebly converging and subevenly, moderately arcuate from the almost 

 obsolete humeral swellings to the rapidly obtuse apex, immediately 

 before which the sides are faintly sinuate; grooves deep, punctate; 

 intervals one-half wider than, to twice as wide as, the grooves, strongly, 

 loosely and confusedly punctate; mes-episterna visible at the waist; 

 under surface strongly, not densely punctate, with sparse, hair-like white 

 squamules. Length (9) 4.0-4.3 mm.; width 1.45-1.65 mm. Mexico 

 (Sierra Madre Mts., Chihuahua), — Townsend. Two specimens. 



This species is quite unlike any other known to me in the peculiar 

 sparse subhispid vestiture; the male might exhibit some special 

 characters. 



Anacentrus n. gen. 



In this genus, the type of which is Limnobaris bracata Csy., the 

 body is of small or very moderate size, oblong-oval and rather stout 

 to very slender, the rnandibles decussate, with large internal tooth, 

 the second funicular joint small, though slightly elongate, the first 

 about as long as the next three as a rule, the club ovate, with its 

 first joint very large, constituting rather more than half the mass. 

 The anterior coxae are well separated, the prosternum unmodified 

 and never armed in the male, and the upper surface has the punc-
