species as it is not unlikely it will yet be found in southern 

 Florida. 



From Mrs. Slosson I have received a female taken at Lake 

 Worth, Florida, that differs from rotundata only in having the 

 sides of the metopidium more strongly carinated and the pro- 

 notum a little lower with its apex much longer and more slender 

 and curved downwards until it touches the apex of the pygofers. 

 The last ventral segment is less broadly excavated with the sides 

 of the sinus less oblique leaving a rounded lobe at either outer 

 angle. It came labelled "subulata Say" but it wants the "two 

 obsolete, whitish, impunctured lines" on either side, and the, 

 attenuated tip reaches well toward the apex of the three apical 

 areoles of the elytra. The true subulata Say has not since 

 been recognized so far as I know, and I quite agree with Dr. 

 Uhler in thinking that it probably represents a species of 

 Cyrtolobus.

This distinct species is still more depressed than festina 

 and rotundata. The metopidium is low, strongly convex, with 

 the sides rounding anteriorly from the base and then running 

 back to unite much behind the middle. Apex of the prono- 

 tum long and slender, curved downward and almost reaching 

 the tip of the elytral areoles. Head bluntly triangular, its 

 sides rectilinear, the broad clypeus almost continuing the con- 

 tour of the cheeks; surface even, coarsely and closely punctured, 

 without striae. Last ventral segment of the female broadly 

 and deeply emarginate, the sides of the sinus feebly arcuated. 

 Plates of the male very short and broad, rounded at apex, 

 scarcely longer than broad, equalling the pygofers. Length 

 7mm. My four examples are concolorous. Two of these I 

 took at Grand Junction, Colorado, and two were taken by Prof. 

 H. F. Wickham at St. George, Utah, all in August. I cannot 

 satisfactorily distinguish this species from elongata Fowler but 

 would not care to place that as a synonym without having seen 

 Mexican material. 



8. Stictocephala collina n. sp. PI. 1, figs. 11,22. 



General aspect of Gilletti but larger and less depressed, with the dor- 

 sum more arcuated, the attenuated apex shorter and the metopidium higher 

 and narrowing from its base. Sides of the metopidium superiorly obtuse!}'
