than the longer spur, while in A. stercorosus the first tarsal joint is 
seldom longer, and in some females shorter than the spur. 
The color in life is a transparent honey yellow, which becomes darker 
and turns red in seasoned cabinet specimens, but never exhibits any 
cloudiness upon the elytra. The head and thorax are never darker 
than the elytra. 
Described from numerous specimens collected in gopher holes at 
Crescent City, Fla. 
The species is evidently derived from A. stercorosus, which inhabits 
the same region, and it agrees so closely with this well-known species 
that a more detailed description is deemed unnecessary. 
The table given by Dr. Horn in his monograph (/. c, p. 34) may be 
extended to include the new species as follows : 
Posterior tibiae stout; first joint of posterior tarsus not as long as the next three; 
head with ante-ocular impression rubeolus. 
Posterior tibiae slender; first joint of posterior tarsus longer than the next three. 
Head with ante-ocular impression ; sides of thorax with large and small punc- 
tures intermixed stercorosus. 
Head without ante-ocular impression; sides of thorax finely punctulate, with, 
out coarse punctures troglodytes. 
Specimens of the Ceuthophilus were sent to Mr. S. H. Scudder, who 
has come to the conclusion that the species is undescribed. I have his 
permission to insert his description in this paper. 
Ceuthophilus latibuli Scudder, sp. nov. 
Dark brownish fuscous, heavily blotched with ferrugineo-testaceous, largely in 
the form of small longitudinally ovate spots more or less regularly disposed on the 
dorsum, but inclined to be confluent on the sides and forming blotches on the pro- 
notum ; the hind femora dark, with two series of longer and an intermediate series 
of shorter oblique testaceous lines; all the tarsi and at least the apical half of the 
tibiae pallid luteous. Legs long and slender. Fore femora less than one-third 
longer than the pronotum, the inner carina armed with 2 to 4 longer or shorter 
spines on the distal half. Mid femora with 2. to 3 usually long spines besides a sub- 
apical spine on the anterior carina, and on the posterior carina a very long genicular 
spine, besides sometimes an additional spine. Hind femora about as long as the 
body, rather stout, but more than the distal fourth slender and subequal, the whole 
three ( $ ) to three and a half (9) times longer than the greatest breadth; the 
outer carina slightly prominent, unarmed ( 9 ) or furnished with 8 to 9 rather un- 
equal, inequidistant short spines, the longest not half the length of the tibial spurs; 
inner carina with 6 to 8 inconspicuous ( 9 ) or 13 to 16 small inequidistant ( $ ) spines, 
the intervening sulcus rather deep but of moderate breadth. Hind tibiae much 
longer than the femora, straight, slightly compressed at the base, beneath with 
1 to 2 preapical median spines besides the apical pair; spurs not opposite, the basal 
generally by or before the end of the proximal fourth of the tibia, nearly or quite 
twice as long as the tibial depth, set at an angle of about 60° with/the tibia, and of 
about 120° more or less with each other, slightly incurved at tip; inner middle cal- 
caria very slender, considerably longer than the first tarsal joint or than the outer 
middle calcaria and twice as long as the other calcaria or the spurs. Hind tarsi dis- 
tinctly less than half as long as the tibiae, the first joint not nearly equaling the rest 
together, the second and third together shorter than the fourth. Cerci slender, 
delicately tapering, about as long as the femoral breadth. Ovipositor straight,
