Georgia (St. Catharine Island). This is the most conspicuous 

 and one of the most interesting barides within our faunal limits, 

 remarkable not only in ornamentation, but in its extremely dilated 

 tarsi and very elongate basal joint of the antennal funicle.

Elongate-oval, convex, polished, black, the legs slightly piceous ; 

 vestiture very uneven, consisting of large white densely placed 

 scales in a sublateral pronotal vitta, on the second elytral interval 

 except near the apex, where they are gradually replaced by small 

 narrow dark brownish squamules, on the third for a short distance 

 behind the middle, on the fourth near the base and from basal to 

 apical fourth, and on the sixth in the broadest and most conspicu- 

 ous line of all, abruptly confined to basal fourth of the length; on 

 the under surface the white scales are dense and conspicuous in a 

 small spot near the anterior coxae, on the inner half of the mes- 

 episterna, throughout the met-episterna, and toward the sides of 

 the abdomen, much more densely on the third and fourth seg- 

 ments and becoming fine, browner and sparser toward the apical 

 angles of the second segment, which is more reflexed posteriorly at 

 the sides than the third or fourth. Beak extremely short, thick, 

 arcuate, not more than two-thirds as long as the prothorax, strongly 

 punctured toward base at the sides, the basal joint of the antennal 

 funicle as long as the entire remainder and slightly longer than the 

 club. Prothorax very nearly as long as wide ; sides parallel and 

 straight in basal two-thirds, then gradually rounded, feebly conver- 

 gent and rather strongly constricted to the apex, the latter three- 

 fourths as wide as the base ; disk coarsely punctate, the punctures 

 circular, deep, perforate and quite distinctly separated ; impunctate 

 line evident in basal two-thirds. Elytra distinctly wider than the 

 prothorax and fully twice as long, narrowly, obtusely rounded at 

 apex; striae moderately coarse; intervals flat and unequal, about 

 twice as wide as the grooves, finely, not densely and more or less 

 confusedly punctate. Prosternum deeply, longitudinally impressed, 

 the coxae very prominent, almost conical, separated by less than 

 one-third of their own width. Length 3.6 mm. ; width 1.35 mm.
