LeConte. | 404. [Feb. 1, 
sub-parallel. Elytra uneven, with vague rows of feebly impressed strie. 
Length 2.5 mm.; .10 inch. 
Enterprise; one specimen. Easily recognized by the small 
size, large head, not narrower than the prothorax, and by 
the latter not being narrowed in front. 
19. Nematodes punctatus, n. sp.—Elongate, scarcely narrower 
behind, brown, pubescent, strongly punctured. Epistoma at base equal 
in width to the space from it to the eyes. Antenne nearly half as 
long as the body, with the 2d and 4th joints equal, 3d a little longer, 5th 
and 6th still longer, sub-equal ; outer joints longer than wide, equal. Pro- 
thorax wider than long, scarcely narrowed in front, feebly channeled be- 
hind ; strongly and densely punctured. Elytral strie well-impressed, in- 
terspaces strongly punctured, feebly convex towards the base. Beneath 
punctured, last ventral obtusely pointed, and roughly asperate with ele- 
vated granules. Length 5.5 mm.; .21 inch. 
Enterprise; one specimen. A speeimen from Texas (Bel- 
frage) agrees in all respects except that the antenne are 
short and less slender, with the 3d joint more evidently 
longer than the 2d or 4th. I am disposed to think the differ- 
ence is sexual. 
74. Anchastus longulus, n. sp.—Elongate, pubescent, red-brown, 
elytra and legs paler. Head densely and strongly punctured, front not 
concave, margin fine, not reflexed. Prothorax nearly one-half longer than 
wide, strongly and densely, not coarsely punctured, narrowed in front, 
sides nearly straight, hind angles bicarinate E] ytra with punctured strie, 
interspaces nearly flat, finely not densely punctured. Antenne with 3d 
joint one-half longer than the 2d ; united equal to the 4th. Length 10 mm.; 
.40 inch. 
Enterprise; one specimen. A smaller specimen (7.2 mm.; 
.29 inch) from Louisiana was given me by Mr. Sallé, which 
is a little less elongate, but not otherwise different. 
19. Anchastus fuscus, n. sp.—-Elongate, pubescent, dark fuscous 
above, red-brown beneath. Head coarsely punctured ; punctures umbili- 
cate, front broadly concave. Prothorax coarsely punctured, longer than 
wide, gradually narrowed in front, sides straight, hind angles unicarinate. 
Elytra with coarsely punctured stris, interspaces convex, sparsely and 
finely punctured. Antenne brown, half as long as the body, strongly 
serrate, 2d joint very small, 3d as large as the 4th. Length 7.5 mm.; .30 
inch. 
Enterprise, June; one specimen.

clothed with long pubescence, Head coarsely punctured, punctures not 
umbilicate, front fla'tened, not concave. Prothorax not longer than wide, 
narrowed in front, sides straight, hind angles unicarinate ; disc strongly, 
sub-rugosely punctured. Elytra black, stri: well-impressed, interspaces 
convex, rough with strongly marked, but not densely placed small eleva- 
tions. Antenne longer than the head and prothorax, strongly serrate, 2d 
joint small, 3d as large as the 4th. Length 4.7 mm.; .18 inch. 
Cedar Keys, June. 
171. Athous debilis, n. sp.—Small, very elongate, rufo-testaceous, 
pubescent. Head punctured, front not concave, broadly rounded, or sub- 
truncate anteriorly. Prothorax (f) nearly twice as long as wide, slightly nar- 
rower in front, hind angles produced, acute, not carinate, not divaricate ; 
surface densely, ratherfinely punctured. Elytra with narrow sutural brown 
line, strie deep, interspaces flat, punctulate. Antenne not serrate, half 
as long as the body ; 2d and 3d joints equal, together a little longer than 
the 4th. Length 4.6 mm.; .18 inch. 
Lake Harney, May; one specimen. The 8d joint of the 
tarsı 1s very distinctly lobed. 
78. Cyphon impressus, n. sp.—Elongate-oval, not convex, piceous, 
pubescent. Antenne and legs piceo-testaceous. Head, prothorax and 
elytra equally densely punctulate, the last without elevated lines ; about 
one-sixth from the base is a strong curved impression extending to the su- 
ture, and behind the middle a still deeper oblique one, not attaining the 
suture ; between these two pairs of impressions the suture is slightly ele- 
vated. Antenne with the 3d joint slender, equal in length to the 2d, not 
Shorter than the 4th. Length 2.3 mm.; .09 inch. 
Tampa, end of April. The impressions of the elytra and 
the suture behind the posterior one are paler and almost 
testaceous. 
19. Lucidota luteicollis, n. sp.—Elongate, black, pubescent. 
Prothorax bright yellowish-red, sub-triangular, apical angle rounded, 
basal angles sub-acute ; sides oblique, basé broadly emarginate, side mar- 
gins depressed and reflexed, more widely towards the base, apex and sides 
scabrous, disc nearly smooth, finely channeled. Scutellum red. Elytra 
finely and densely scabrous, each with two obsolete elevated lines, side 
margin narrow. Antenne (f) nearly two-thirds as long as the body, 
compressed, joints only slightly narrowed at the base, so that they are very 
feebly serrate. Last two ventral segments rufo-testaceous. Length 8 mm.; 
.o2 inch. 
Sumter County; two d. Resembles the New Mexican 
Photinus collaris Lec. in form and color, but differs in the 
antenne being much longer and compressed, as in our other
