Somewhat narrow and shining, impunctate, pale rufo-testaceous 

 throughout ; pubescence distinct, closely recurved, long and brist- 

 ling at the basal parts of the head and on the neck. Head a little 

 longer than wide. Antennae a little longer than the head and pro- 

 thorax, the basal joint somewhat longer than the next two to- 

 gether ; outer joints gradually wider; eight to ten slightly trans- 

 verse ; basal part of the vertex and the neck deeply depressed, 

 longitudinally and feebly ridged along the sides. Prothorax dis- 

 tinctly longer than wide, fully f wider tlian the head, obliquelj'" 

 narrowed anteriorly from near the middle, the sides parallel and 

 straight in more than basal half ; disk with a strong longitudinal 

 carina near the base at the middle, and, on each side, transversely 

 impressed, the impression interrupted at outer third. Scutellum 

 small, rounded. Elytra ^ longer than wide, rather more than 

 twice as long as the prothorax and fully ^ wider ; sides feebly sub- 

 prominent just before the middle ; humeri quite evident ; humeral 

 plica and impression narrow but feeble, the inner fovea large, 

 deep, pubescent at its anterior margin ; suture beaded, the bead 

 wide, dilated and enveloping the scutellum at base. Legs mod- 

 erate in length. Length 2.0 mm. ; width 0.63 mm. 



Georgia (Savannah). It is not possible to state definitely 

 whether this is the species described by LeConte under the name 

 amcena, from Washington, D. C, and the vicinity of New York 

 City ; the above description is based upon a specimen borrowed 

 from Mr. Schwarz for the purpose, and has never been compared 

 carefully with the type ; it is apparently a male, as the anterior 

 trochanters are obtusely prominent behind. The original descrip- 

 tion is wholly inadequate, and the statement that the fourth pal-
