lar; elytra almost similar but rather broader, the striae (cf ) as in 

 nupera, or ( 9 ) unimpressed and finely punctulate, the scutellar 

 notably short (9 ), longer (cf), free; intervals nearly flat (9 ) or as 

 in the preceding (cf). Length (cf 9 ) 7-5-8.2 mm.; width 3.2-3.5 

 mm. New Mexico (Sta. Fe), Alary W. Greene greenei n. sp. 



21 Elytra not distinctly wider than the prothorax, the two bases as 

 nearly as possible equal. Body oblong-suboval, convex, shining, 

 the elytra distinctly alutaceous in the female, dark castaneous above, 

 piceous beneath, the legs dark rufous; head barely more than half as 

 wide as the prothorax, with prominent eyes and rather long and fine, 

 somewhat oblique strioles; antennae ferruginous, slender, extend- 

 ing well behind the thoracic base in both sexes; prothorax fully three- 

 fourths wider than long, the sides subevenly arcuate, rather more 

 converging anteriorly; apex three-fourths as wide as the base, mod- 

 erately sinuate, with broadly rounded angles; impressions very fee- 

 ble, the stria fine, subentire; foveal region with extremely few fine 

 punctures, almost impunctate; inner fovea feeble, irregularly lin- 

 eate, the outer more rounded, deeper and oblique; basal angles 

 slightly more than right but not rounded; elytra three-se_venths 

 longer than wide, gradually ogival in slightly less than apical half, 

 the sides feebly arcuate; striae fine but deep and sharply defined, 

 impunctate, feebly impressed, the scutellar only moderate in length, 

 oblique and not free; intervals very feebly convex. Male proster- 

 num with a small and narrowly oval flattened punctured area, the 

 abdominal apex with a pair of close-set punctures at each side; 

 tarsi thicker than in terrestris. Length (cf 9 ) 6.2-7.2 mm.; width 

 2.8-3.2 mm. Colorado (Boulder Co. and Eldora), L. W. Casey. 



scolopax n. sp. 



Elytra medially distinctly wider than the prothorax, the base evidently 

 wider than the thoracic base as a rule 22 



22 Elytral striae very fine, unimpressed. Body narrower, elongate- 

 oval, convex, shining, the elytra barely visibly less shining in the 

 female, castaneous; under surface piceous, the legs bright rufous; 

 head much more than half as wide as the prothorax, with rather 

 prominent eyes and fine deep oblique strioles; antennae ferruginous, 

 slender, extending slightly behind the thoracic base; prothorax 

 fully three-fourths wider than long, the sides subevenly arcuate; 

 apex nearly four-fifths as wide as the base, just visibly sinuato- 

 truncate, with rather broadly rounded angles; the basal angles much 

 more than right but not blunt; impressions very feeble; stria fine, 

 slightly abbreviated; basal regions throughout the width strongly 

 but not densely punctate, more finely and sparsely medially; inner 

 fovea impressed, short, linear, the outer rounded, feebly impressed, 

 distant from the base; elytra fully one-half longer than wide, gradu- 

 ally rounded posteriorly from a little behind the middle, at the mid- 

 dle nearly a fifth wider than the prothorax; striae fine, evidently 

 punctulate, the scutellar rather long, oblique, not free at tip; inter- 

 vals flat. Male prosternum with a rather large and oval, finely 

 punctate central area, which is not even flattened, the abdominal 

 apex with a moderately close pair of punctures at each side; tarsi
