slightly behind the middle; prothorax small, a fifth wider than 

 long, the sides evenly and moderately arcuate, becoming gradually 

 parallel basally, the distinctly tubulate apex more than half as 

 wide as the base; punctures moderate, shallow, distinctly separated, 

 with a smooth discal spot at each side, the impunctate median line 

 not attaining the apex; elytra not quite one-half longer than wide, 

 a third wider than the prothorax and much more than twice as long, 

 the humeral callus distinct; sides parallel and nearly straight, 

 rapidly rounding in about apical half, the apex strongly rounded; 

 grooves deep; intervals more than twice as wide as the grooves, 

 with fine and well separated, uniserial subtransverse punctures and 

 single lines of squamules, more confused on the second. Length 

 (9) 3.35 mm.; width 1.3 mm. North Carolina (Black Mts.), — 

 BeutenmuUer caudex n. sp. 



14 — Form elongate-oval, convex, black throughout and subalutaceous; 

 beak in the female long, rather slender and feebly, evenly arcuate, 

 moderately punctate and finely subsulcate, longer than the head 

 and prothorax, the antennae about at the middle; prothorax nearly 

 as long as wide, the sides broadly, subevenly arcuate, becoming 

 straighter and parallel basally, the subtubulate apex fully half as 

 wide as the base, the punctures fine and sparse, rather coarse and 

 rugulose at the sides, where the very inconspicuous squamules become 

 more distinct; median smooth line entire; elytra one-half longer 

 than wide, only very slightly wider than the prothorax and about 

 twice as long, the humeral prominences feeble; sides only feebly 

 oblique and subevenly, distinctly arcuate to the broadly rounded 

 and obtuse apex; grooves deep and conspicuous; intervals twice as 

 wide as the grooves, the punctures moderately small, strong and 

 distinct, well spaced in single or narrowly confused lines, the setae 

 small and gray, not close-set but very evident, in single, sometimes 

 irregular lines, more confused on the third; squamules beneath 

 small, sparse and very inconspicuous. Length (9) 3-75 mm.; 

 width 1.5 mm. Florida (Enterprise) incolumis n. sp. 



Form nearly similar but larger and relatively stouter, black, similarly 

 alutaceous, the vestiture similar, except that the setae of the elytra 

 are more confused on most of the intervals, smaller and less distinct, 

 except at base throughout the width, where the whitish hair-like 

 squamules become close and rather conspicuous; beak in the female 

 long, slender, smoother than in the preceding, still somewhat longer 

 and almost perfectly straight, much longer than the head and pro- 

 thorax, the antennae at the middle, slender, with still longer and very 

 slender club; prothorax a sixth wider than long, the subevenly 

 arcuate sides becoming parallel at base, the feebly constricted apex 

 half as wide as the base; punctures well separated, very fine medially, 

 stronger and dense laterally, the smooth line abbreviated anteriad; 

 basal lobe similarly small and feeble; scutellum narrow, nude, 

 emarginate at tip; elytra obtusely ovoidal, slightly wider than the 

 prothorax and barely twice as long; grooves deep and conspicuous; 

 intervals twice as wide as the grooves to slightly more, sparsely.
