•clavate, the anterior rather more distinctly than the other four. 

 Length 1.15 mm.; width 0.3 mm. 



Georgia (Liberty Co.) and Florida. A distinct type in the 

 present genus, which can be identified very readily b}'^ its narrow 

 form, relatively large head and strong impression of the prono- 

 tum. I cannot observe an}'' definite sexual characters. 



56. C decipiens n. sp.— Narrowly suboval, polished, subimpunctate, 

 Tufo-testaceous throughout, the legs and antennae paler and more diaphanous ; 

 pubescence rather abundant, pale, coarse, short, recurved and mingled with 

 sparse erect setae on the elytra. Head moderate in size, but slightly wider 

 than long, subparabolic behind the eyes, which are not very large or prominent ; 

 antennal prominences very feeble, separated by scarcely more than f-j the total 

 width ; clypeus slightly asperate, the apical margin very evenly and just 

 visibly sinuate throughout the width. Antennse scarcely as long as the head 

 and prothorax, stout, the club long and rather strong but subparallel and 

 scarcely abrupt ; second joint stout, cylindric, scarcely % longer than wide, 

 fully as long as the next two and a little thicker ; three to six perfectly similar 

 in form and strongly transverse, apparently very slightly increasing in size, % 

 to ^ wider than long ; seventh scarcely I4 wider than the sixth, % wider than 

 long ; eighth % wider than the seventh, nearly as long as wide ; ninth and 

 ienth subequal, only very slightly wider than the eighth and very nearly as 

 long as wide ; eleventh barely thicker, not quite as long as the two preceding, 

 obliquely pointed at tip. Prothorax conic with the sides distinctly arcuate or 

 very obtusely subangulate at the middle, scarcely as long as wide ; apex % as 

 vdde as the base, the latter nearly }^ wider than the head ; surface strongly 

 and transversely biimpressed near the basal margin. Elytra evenly oval and 

 acutely ogival at apex, widest before the middle, % longer than wide, dis- 

 tinctly more than twice as long as the prothorax and about % wider ; sides 

 evenly arcuate ; humeral plica and attendant impression small but strongly 

 marked ; inner fovea strong and deep, the outer obsolete ; subsutural impres- 

 ■sions narrow, short and feeble, the suture finely but strongly beaded basally, 

 the bead gradually wider but not abruptly expanded at base. Legs well de- 

 veloped, the femora all strongly clavate. Length 1.0 mm.. ; width 0.28 mm. 



Texas (Colorado River). 



A small and slender species, somewhat allied to clavatum, but 

 distinguishable by the smaller head, more conical prothorax with 

 coarser transverse impression, and by the stouter antennse, the 

 ■elubof the latter being less abrupt. The antennal club in decipiens 

 is very long, the joints of the funicle being shorter and more trans- 

 verse. No sexual marks are observable in the two specimens 

 before me. 



57. C. biceps n. sp. — Moderately stout and feebly ventricose, polished 

 and impunctate, pale flavo-testaceous throughout, the legs and antennse con-
