Valve wanting; plates long and acutely-triangular; pygofers much exceeding the plates, broadly and deeply forked at apex where they are clothed with long heavy bristles. Neoslossonia n. genus. Allied to Hecalus but differing in having the vertex obtusely triangular and furrowed, the pronotum subcarinate and the clavus with two nervures which are united in one posteriorly. Head as wide as the pronotum, ob- tusely triangular, as long as the width at base, sloping moderately forward in conformity with the slope of the pronotum; vertex almost flat, depressed about the edges; median line with a broad furrow, either side of which is an elevated ridge. Front convex as far as the apex of the head, the margins depressed and nearly foliaceous either side before the eyes; broad, convex and truncated at apex; clypeus abruptly much narrower. Pronotum trans- verse, a little wider posteriorly; anterior margin scarcely arcuated, hind margin broadly feebly arcuated across the base of the scutellum; median line carinate, either side with a slightly oblique obscure ridge continuing those on the vertex; sides bicarinate behind the eyes. Elytra opake, rounded at apex, the nervures distinct showing five long apical areoles on the corium; the two nervures of the clavus united at about its middle, the resulting nervure joining the commissural a little beyond. Head and pro- notum coarsely punctured. Type of genus N. atra V. D. It affords me pleasure to dedicate this genus to Mrs. A nnie Trumbull Slosson its first discoverer and one to whom I am indebted for many courtesies extended during the study of this Florida material. 296. Neoslossonia atra n. sp. Deep black all over with the tarsi testaceous and the tibial spines ferruginous. Vertex and pronotum coarsely punctured, those along the margin becoming dragged giving the appearance of
