fifths ; punctures very large, uneven, impressed and rather distant, 

 becoming smaller and with the series impressed toward apex. 

 Length 3.0-4.2 mm. ; width 1.3-1.75 mm. 



The specimens in my cabinet are from Florida. 



7 T. rufescens n. sp. — Oval, convex, shining, subglabrous, dark rufo- 

 testaceous throughout, the elytra almost imperceptibly clouded with small, 

 very remote and blackish spots, unevenly disposed ; pronotum and elytra with 

 a few widely scattered recumbent whitish squamules, rather long and very 

 slender in form, and slightly more numerous in an oblique area on each ely- 

 tron near apical fourth, very easily denuded. Head rather finely, sparsely 

 punctate, with an impressed median fovea ; beak in the female very short, 

 scarcely one-half longer than wide ; antennae stout, the basal joint of the 

 funicle very robust, rapidly narrowed to the base and not quite as long as 

 the second, the latter much longer than the next two, slender, evenly obconi- 

 cal, outer joint gradually wider, the club robust, as long as the four preceding 

 joints combined. Prothorax scarcely as long as wide, inflated and widest behind 

 the middle, the apex much narrower than the base and strongly rounded ; 

 punctures coarse, impressed, very uneven, sparse and scarcely becoming finer 

 toward apex, the median line narrowly and feebly tumid. Elytra at base one- 

 fourth wider than the disk of the prothorax, distinctly more than twice as 

 long, the sides parallel and nearly straight in basal half, then gradually 

 rounded, the apex ogival ; humeri right, narrowly rounded ; striae generally 

 feebly impressed throughout the length, the punctures moderately large, im- 

 pressed, uneven and remote, becoming very small feeble and elongate toward 

 apex. Legs short, robust, rufo-testaceous, piceous near the coxae. Length 

 3.2-4.3 mm. ; width 1.3-1.8 mm. 



Indiana. 



This species is allied rather closely to variegata, but is easily dis- 

 tinguished by its slightly stouter form, pale coloration, wider and 

 more inflated prothorax, much sparser punctuation throughout, the 

 punctures rather larger on the prothorax but smaller and more even 

 on the elytra, and by the shorter beak in the female. 



8 T. baridia Leo.— Proc. Am. Phil. Soc, XV, p. 249. 



Oval, gradually pointed behind, strongly convex, black through- 

 out, smooth, shining although feebly alutaceous, glabrous, each 

 puncture bearing an extremely small seta. Head and beak finely 

 but strongly, not very densely and unevenly punctate, with a small 

 and somewhat variable frontal puncture. Prothorax one-fourth 

 wider than long, the sides broadly subangulate at the middle, feebly 

 convergent thence to the base, strongly so and nearly straight to 

 the apex, which is strongly arcuate and not more than one-half as
