Resembling irroratus but smaller, form of pulchripennis, but with a longer vertex and about seven spots on the costa. 9 segment rather long, rounding posteriorly with a pair of small rounding lobes on the median fourth. What appears to be a male of this species has a broad, large valve nearly equalling the preceding segment in length; plates triangular, outer margins nearly straight, apices acute, about two and one-half times as long as valve.

What appears to be a male of this species has a broad, large valve nearly equalling the preceding segment in length; plates triangular, outer margins nearly straight, apices acute, about two and one-half times as long as valve. Length, 9 , 5 mm.; c^, mm. Florida, South Carolina, North Carolina, Alabama. Phlepsius graniticus n. sp. (PI. XXV, Fig. 5). Resembles P. floridana in size and shape, but has very distinct pigment lines; genital plates shorter. Head wider than pronotum. Vertex convex, subangulate, slightly longer on middle than next the eye, anterior edge obtuse. Front broad at base; ocellus close to the eye. Clypeus long, widening shghtly to apex, lorse elongate. Cheeks sinucte below the eye, narrowed toward clypeus. Pronotum strongly arcucte in front, distinctly sinuate behind, lateral margins very short, cf valve broad and short, scarcely angulate behind; plates short, narrowing very abruptly from the bases, which scarcely reach the side margins of the valve, borders scarcely sinuate, black margined, lined with fine cilia. Dark gray, whitish, with deep fuscous dots and pigm^ent lines. Vertex with two transverse fuscous spots between the eyes; front fuscous with minute dots and traces of arcs whitish. Elytra milky white, the veins and pigment lines blackish, a series of about 8 larger spots on costa. Length, cf, 4 mm. One specimen, Fryeburg, Me., collected by C. P. Alexander. This species cannot be associated with any other known form, although it has evident affinities with P. floridana.
