thinner than the seventh ; eighth about as long- as the fifth; joints 

 of the club very long, not wider than the seventh. Prothorax two- 

 thirds wider than lon<i;-, extremely obsoletelj punctulate. Scutellum 

 minute, equilateral. Elytra scarcely visibly wider at basal fourth 

 than at base; outer apical angles narrowly rounded; basal stria 

 extending to the middle. Mes-epimera long and narrow, extending 

 three-fifths to the coxae ; met-episternal suture fine, moderately ob- 

 lique. Basal joint of the hind tarsi as long as the next three.' 

 Length 1.9-2.1 mm.; width 1.3-1.4 mm. 



Georgia and Florida. Readily identifiable by the rather dense 

 but fine, uniformly distributed and unusually close elytral punctua- 

 tion.

Rather narrowly oval ; body dark castaneous to black, highly 

 polished throughout, the pronotum subimpunctate, the elytra 

 strongly but remotely punctate from apex to base. Antennae 

 rather thick, the third joint triangular, oblique at apex, one-half 

 longer than wide, one-half as long as the fourth, which is nearly 

 four times as long as wMde ; fifth slightly swollen within, barely 

 longer than the third and fourth together, very slightly longer 

 than the sixth but distinctly shorter than the seventh ; joints after 

 the fourth all more or less dilated and arcuate within. Prothorax 

 rather short, three-fourths wider than long, one-half as long as the 

 elytra. Scutellum distinct. Elytra rather longer than wide, 

 slightly widest at basal fourth ; outer apical angles rather broadly 

 rounded ; sutural stria deep, the basal fine, extending to the middle. 

 Mes-epimera long, narrow, extending two-thirds to the coxae ; met- 

 episternal suture fine and only very slightly oblique. Posterior 

 tarsi long and extremely slender, the first joint subequal to the 

 next three. Length l.*75 mm. ; width 1,1 mm. 



Missouri and North Carolina (Hot Springs). The antennae are 

 unusually thick, the fifth joint being more slender in the majority 

 of species. There is but little variation jn the three specimens be- 

 fore me.
