sides feebly convergent in apical third, the apex narrow but obtusely rounded ; 

 humeri slightly prominent ; disk nearly as in prolixa, but with the punctures 

 still more minute and feeble. Prosternum strongly impressed along the mid- 

 dle, separating the coxse by fully one-third of their own width. Length 4.1 

 mm. ; width 1.35 mm. 



Texas (Galveston). 



A single female. This species may be recognized at once by its 

 polished aeneous surface and red legs ; it differs greatly from prolixa 

 in the latter respect, and also in its longer beak.

(Centrinus). 



Elongate-oval, convex, black, the tarsi and antennae somewhat 

 pale, shining, the vestiture white, consisting of long, slender, rather 

 sparse but conspicuous squamules, almost evenly distributed above 

 and beneath, becoming shorter and'squamiform on the sternal para- 

 pleurae. Head finely, sparsely punctate, the constriction obsolete, 

 the frontal fovea very small and prolonged anteriorly for a short 

 distance ; beak in the female moderately slender, slightly thicker 

 toward base, cylindrical, smooth, polished, evenly, moderately 

 arcuate, about as long as the head and prothorax, almost impunc- 

 tate but abruptly densely so and with erect squamules before the 

 eyes ; antennae inserted a little behind the middle, the basal joint of 

 the funicle not as long as the next three, the second scarcely two- 

 thirds as long as the first and as long as the next two ; club mode- 

 rate, densely pubescent, not very slender. Prothorax two-fifths 

 wider than long, the sides broadly, feebly arcuate, becoming conver- 

 gent and gradually broadly and just visibly sinuate to the apex, 

 parallel toward base, the apex nearly three-fifths as wide as the base ; 

 disk rather strongly, not very densely punctate, with a narrow im- 

 punctate line. Scutellum small, glabrous. Elytra scarcely at all 

 wider than the prothorax and about twice as long, hemi-elliptical, 

 the striae not very coarse, with the edges finely, feebly, unevenly, 

 subcrenulate, the intervals finely, sparsely, unevenly, punctured and 

 transversely, unevenly rugulose. Prosternum strongly impressed 

 along the middle, separating the anterior coxae by fully three-fourths 

 of their own width. Length 4.0-4.3 mm. ; width 1.65-1.8 mm. 



Texas and Florida. In the original type, from which the above 

 description is taken, the abdomen has, near the base, a narrow
