Baring 473 



Elytral grooves coarser, more or less distinctly crenate, at least in part; 

 body smaller 5 



5 — Body oblong, convex, shining, deep black, the legs piceo-rufous; 

 beak in the male nearly as in the preceding in form, thick, deeply 

 and strongly sculptured, about as long as the head and prothorax, 

 the antennae beyond the middle, shorter than in nimius; prothorax 

 shorter, two-fifths wider than long, the sides parallel, evenly and 

 distinctly arcuate, rapidly rounding in apical fourth, becoming 

 subtransverse to the long tubular apex, which is less than half as 

 wide as the base; punctures small and moderately separated, 

 gradually larger, deeply and rugulately coalescent laterally, the 

 smooth median line narrow and not entire, the discal smooth spots 

 of the preceding wanting; elytra three-fifths longer than wide, 

 barely at all wider than the prothorax and evidently more than 

 twice as long, the humeral callus distinctly prominent; sides just 

 visibly converging and very feebly arcuate, gradually more rounding 

 behind to the broad and obtusely rounded apex; grooves deep, 

 feebly crenulate basally; intervals two and one-half to three times 

 as wide as the grooves, the punctures fine, feeble and loosely con- 

 fused throughout the surface; abdomen rather feebly impressed 

 medio-basally, the punctures more numerous than in nimius. 

 Length (cf) 4.2 mm.; width 1.6 mm. North Carolina (Southern 

 Pines), — Manee atromicans n. sp. 



Body broadly oblong-suboval, convex, less shining, faintly alutaceous, 

 black, the legs obscure rufous; beak in the female cylindric and 

 rather slender, distinctly and subevenly arcuate, finely punctulate 

 and as long as the head and prothorax, the antennae at the middle; 

 prothorax fully two-fifths wider than long, the sides sensibly con- 

 verging from the base and feebly arcuate, more so basally, rather 

 rapidly but evenly rounding in apical fourth to the tubulate apex, 

 which is distinctly less than half as wide as the base; surface notably 

 convex, the punctures moderate, separated by their own widths, 

 gradually closer and stronger laterally, longitudinally rugose at the 

 sides, without discal smooth spots, the impunctate median line 

 distinct though obsolete anteriorly; scutellum quadrate, flat, not 

 very small; elytra two-thirds longer than wide, very slightly wider 

 than the prothorax and much more than twice as long, with very 

 moderate humeral prominences; sides parallel, evenly and moder- 

 ately arcuate, obtusely and circularly rounded behind; grooves 

 decidedly coarse, finer suturally behind, almost everywhere strongly 

 crenate; intervals two to two and one-half times as wide as the 

 grooves, with fine and loosely confused punctures. Length ( 9 ) 

 4.3 mm.; width 1.8 mm. Florida (Enterprise) promptus n. sp. 



6 — Form oblong, convex, moderately shining, black, the tibiae and tarsi 

 piceous; small slender squamules more abundant and distinct than 

 in the preceding species; beak in the male thick, strongly and deeply 

 sculptured, feebly but very evenly arcuate and as long as the head 

 and prothorax, the antennae at four-sevenths, the club very narrow 

 as usual; prothorax transverse, nearly one-half wider than long, 

 much wider near the middle than at base, the parallel sides strongly,
