nation scarcely traceable ; surface quite strongly convex, the first four strise 

 distinct, feebly punctulate, becomiug deep near the suture, the remaining 

 strise obsolete, the fifth only traceable toward base. Under surface alutaceous, 

 the legs rather short and slender. Length 9.6 mm. ; width 4.2 mm. 



Florida, (Lake Worth}. 



The single female representing this species, by far the smallest 

 of the genus, was recently taken and very kindly placed in my 

 cabinet by Mr. F. Kinzel, of Palm Beach, 



CALATHUS Bon. 

 The following species belongs to the gregarius division, in the 

 neighborhood of obsciirus and hehrensi. 



C^ guadalupensis n. sp. — Eather stout, elongate-oval, somewhat con- 

 vex, dark rufo-testaceous in color, the elytra generally a little darker ; head 

 and pronotum moderately shining, the elytra opaque and lustreless, the mi- 

 nute reticulations strongly marked. Head longer than wide, evenly convex, 

 feebly constricted at base, the eyes moderately convex ; antennse slender, 

 scarcely }4 ^s long as the body, the basal joint distinctly shorter than 3-6. 

 Prothorax scarcely ^4 wider than long, the sides almost evenly and moderately 

 arcuate, more convergent near the apex, just visibly narrower at base than be- 

 hind the middle ; apex between % and % as wide as the base, broadly sinuate ; 

 disk feebly convex, rather broadly flattened toward the basal angles, the mar- 

 gins gradually less broadly reflexed thence to the apex ; basal angles rounded ; 

 subbasal impressions very feeble ; median line very fine, obliterated toward 

 base and apex. Elytra oval, moderately convex, rather less than % longer 

 than wide, nearly 3^2 wider than the prothorax and 2% times as long; sides 

 broadly and evenly arcuate; strise very fine and feeble, obsolescent toward the 

 sides, the intervals broad and perfectly flat; three punctures of the third inter- 

 val distinct and near the third stria. Under surface shining, the legs rather 

 long and slender. Length 11.5-12.0 mm. ; width 4.7-5.0 mm. 



Guadalupe Island. 



This species differs from hehrensi and obscurus in its much 

 larger size, and, from the former, also in the very much smaller 

 and feebler punctures of the eighth stria. It is represented in my 

 cabinet by a very homogeneous series of six examples. 



GALERITA Fabr. 



There are before me two examples which seem to represent 

 species not hitherto described. The members of this genus very 

 closely resemble each other both in form and color, but there are 

 certain constant differences in the vestiture, form of the head and 

 color of the legs, which serve amply for identification. The fol- 

 lowing form is closely allied to janus : —
