86 TERTIARY COLEOPTERA OF NORTH AMERICA. 



CARPOPHI LUS Stephens. 



A cosmopolitan genus with numerous species, many of which occur in 

 North America. The only known fossil species is the one here described 

 from Colorado. 



( 'ARPOPHILUS RESTRUCTUS sp. nov. 



PI. IX, tig. i. 



Form pretty reg-ularly ovate. Head large, about half as large as the 

 prothorax, full and rounded, subsemicircular, glabrous, the- mandibles of the 

 normal form. Thorax at base of the size of the there narrowed elytra, 

 narrowing considerably, with rounded sides on the anterior half, the front 

 margin being straight and scarcely broader than the base of the head; 

 posterior margin straight, the outer angles scarcely rounded, the base 

 scarcely narrowed, the surface glabrous. Scutellum very large, glabrous. 

 Elytra almost as long as the head and thorax together, the sides nearly 

 parallel but well rounded, and to that extent narrowed at base and apex, 

 truncate, the apical margin faintly convex, the whole surface glabrous. 

 Abdomen having the second and third segments together shorter than the 

 fourth (showing that it falls in the subgenus Carpophilus, as characterized 

 by Andrew Murray), the fourth and fifth equal and together nearly as long 

 as the elytra, fully exposed and sparsely clothed with moderately long 

 villous hairs. 



Length, 3.2 mm.: breadth, 1.5 mm. 



This species seems to belong in the subgenus Carpophilus, in the near 

 neighborhood of the widely distributed species C. lioiii/ifi'm.^ (Linn.), but 

 differs remarkably from it in the great size and fullness of the head and the 

 glabrous surface of most of the body. 



Florissant, Colorado; one specimen, No. 1400. 



EPANUK^EA (tTTctyco, ovpa) gen. nov. 



Allied to Epursea, with the same general form, but with a relatively 

 larger head and peculiar antenna'. These are shorter than the width of the 

 body ;md l>evond the large basal joint consist of ten joints, of which live 

 go to form the remarkably short, slender stem, in which the joints are hardly 

 longer than broad, and together are shorter than the apical live which form 

 the abrupt club: this is a little more than twice as broad as the stem, and
