as the next two and decidedly thicker; three to six equal in width and cylin- 

 dric, about as long as wide, the fifth very little longer; seventh scarcely I4 

 wider, quadrate; eighth }4, wider than the seventh, conic in apical %, fully as 

 long as wide; ninth and tenth equal, I4 wider than the eighth, very nearly as 

 long as wide; eleventh rather thicker, oval, gradually and obliquely pointed, 

 nearly as long as the two preceding. Proihorax strongly conic, the sides al- 

 naost straight ; apex % ^s wide as the base, the latter % wider than the head ; 

 surface narroAvly and obsoletely impressed transversely near the basal margin. 

 Elytra % longer than wide, fully twice as long as the prothorax and about % 

 wider, oval, widest at basal % but with the sides broadly and very evenly 

 arcuate; apex narrowly rounded; surface feebly and sparsely punctulate; 

 humeral plica and adjacent impression long and strongly developed; foveae 

 distinct, rather approximate; subsutural impressions narrow and quite distinct 

 but very near the base, the included part of the suture very feebly elevated but 

 not at all beaded. Legs rather stout, the four anterior femora moderately 

 strongly and equally, the two posterior less strongly, clavate ; tarsi moderately 

 stout, the first four joints of the posterior equal. Length 1.0 mm.; width 

 0.45 mm. 



Florida. 



The first abdominal segment is simple, but with the coriaceous 

 hind margin somewhat distinct. The sex of the type example is 

 indeterminate. 



This species resembles innocuum, but differs in its longer and 

 more erect elytral pubescence, still larger eyes and in the com- 

 plete absence of the coarse and conspicuous sutural bead of that 

 species. 



48. C. castaneuin. n. sp. — Moderately stout, polished and impunctate, 

 dark castaneous to blackish throughout, the legs and antennae pale and 

 brownish-testaceous ; pubescence abundant, pale in color, rather coarse but 

 short and recurved on the elytra. Head moderate, wider than long, cir- 

 cularly rounded behind the eyes, which are rather well developed and convex 

 but anterior as usual ; antennal prominences completely obsolete, the front 

 not in the least impressed; clypeus perfectly even, the apical margin transverse 

 and rectilinear. AnUnnse distinctly longer than the head and prothorax, the 

 club strong but somewhat gradual in formation ; second joint but slightly 

 smaller than the first, thicker and rather longer than the next two, cylindric 

 and % longer than wide ; three to six equal in width ; third and fourth equal 

 and distinctly wider than long; fifth and sixth subequal and slightly longer 

 but not quite as long as wide ; seventh }'^ thicker than the sixth, cylindric, }^ 

 wider than long ; eighth 3^ wider than the seventh, slightly wider than long ; 

 ninth nearly }^ wider than the eighth, about as wide as the tenth, these 3^ 

 and J^ wider than long respectively ; eleventh rather thicker, distinctly 

 shorter than the two preceding, obtusely ogival and slightly oblique at apex. 

 Prothorax rather small, conic, distinctly shorter than wide, the sides nearly 

 straight ; apex % as wide as the base, the latter ^4 wider than the head ; sur-
