rostral joint narrowly testaceous at base; legs fuscous-black, 

 middle and hind trochanters, base of middle and hind femora, 

 extreme apex of front femora, and front and middle tibiae (ex- 

 cept apex) testaceous. Head above with a few exserted hairs, 

 first joint of antennae in its apical half with some short rigid 

 setse, second not quite thrice the length of first, third subequal 

 in length to second, gradually somewhat thickened from base 

 to apex (fourth wanting), rostrum reaching middle coxae. 

 Pronotum slightly broader at base than long in the middle, 

 lateral margins straight, basal margin broadly and slightly 

 sinuate, anterior lobe conspicuously longer than posterior lobe, 

 alutaceous, impunctate, with a round foveate impression on each 

 side near the base, and another small fovea (visible only from 

 the side) near lateral margins. Scutellum very finely and 

 superficially punctulate in the basal half. Elytra reaching apex 

 of abdomen. Pleura (except the punctate posterior borders) 

 extremely finely rugulose. Abdomen underneath with a very 

 short, sericeous grayish pubescence. Front femora with two 

 very short spinelets in the apical half. First joint of hind 

 tarsi three times longer than the other joints united. 



Length, female, 5 millimeters.

Allied and very similar to P. pedatus Dist., but with longer 

 anterior pronotal lobe and hind metatarsus and differently 

 colored antennae and legs. 



On the species pedatus, Distant founded the genus Naudar- 

 ensia, which differs from Poeantius only in having straight 

 pronotal lateral margins, while they are slightly sinuated in 

 Poeantius. This differential character and those mentioned 

 by Distant are only specific; I agree with Breddin that these 

 genera must be united. 



Cligenes assimulans sp. nov. 



Black or dark brown; a broad apical fascia to posterior pro- 

 notal lobe and the elytra whitish with fuscous puncturation, 

 corium with a median costal spot, a larger (sometimes 

 triangular) spot at interior apical angle and a spot occupying 

 the exterior apical angle black; antennae brown or brownish 

 testaceous, last joint (and sometimes apex of third) white, ros- 

 trum testaceous, the first two joints often browTi, front legs 

 brown, middle and hind legs whitish testaceous with apex of 

 femora infuscate, but all legs sometimes testaceous with the 

 tibiae infuscate. Head broader than long, second joint of an- 

 tennae twice the length of first, third a little shorter than second
