Length (9 ) 12.3 mm.; width 4.5 mm. A single specimen, unlabeled 

 in the Levette collection, but probably taken in Indiana. 



latebrosa Lee. 



Form less stout, the size much smaller, black, more piceous beneath, the 

 legs piceous-black; elytra opaculate in the female; head not elongate, 

 with short neck, fully three-fifths as wide as the prothorax, the eyes 

 moderate and rather prominent; sulci slightly converging, nearly 

 straight; antennae piceous, of the usual structure; prothorax almost 

 one-half wider than long, the sides very evenly rounded from apex 

 to the constriction, thence straight and parallel to the angles, which 

 are right, slightly blunt at tip; apex feebly smuate, the margination 

 perfectly flat and defined by an entire though extremely fine and 

 feeble incised line, which, quite exceptionally, is broadly angulate; 

 anterior impression subobsolete, the posterior distinct, the basal 

 region longitudinally rugose; foveae nearly as in the preceding, ex- 

 cept that the external recurvature is shorter and does not define a 

 distinct carina; elytra nearly one-half longer than wide, oval, a fifth 

 wider than the prothorax, the sides very evenly and rather strongly 

 arcuate; subapical sinus short and very feeble; striae fine, feebly 

 though sharply impressed, the seventh feeble, the scutellar very 

 short; punctures fine and inconspicuous; intervals but just visibly 

 convex; dorsal puncture small and at three-fifths. Length (9) 

 10.5 mm.; width 3.85 mm. Texas (locality unrecorded). 



pudica n. sp. 



Form rather more elongate, moderately convex, shining, the elytra alu- 

 taceous, probably shining in the male; color piceous-black, the under 

 surface and legs dark rufous; head longer than wide, with the neck 

 very long in comparison with the two preceding, very nearly three- 

 fourths as wide as the prothorax; eyes moderately prominent; an- 

 tennae fusco-rufous; prothorax fully two-fifths wider than long, the 

 sides rather strongly reflexed, almost evenly arcuate from apex to 

 the subbasal constriction, thence parallel and straight to the right 

 and rather sharp angles; apex broadly sinuate, the margination 

 slightly convex, defined by a fine though distinct incised line; an- 

 terior impression feeble, just behind the margination, the posterior 

 deep and conspicuous from side to side; fovese not very deep, the 

 inner incised line not coarse, recurved at base, the recurvature closely 

 paralleling the straight part of the sides; surface with a few ruguli- 

 form lines; elytra three-fifths longer than wide, only very slightly 

 wider than the prothorax, the sides evenly arcuate; subapical sinus 

 broad and very feeble; striae rather sharply impressed, the seventh 

 feeble, the scutellar extremely short; punctures small but distinct; 

 intervals feebly convex, somewhat crenulated by the punctures; 

 dorsal puncture at three-fifths. Length (9) 11.7 mm.; width 4.0 

 mm. Arizona (locality unrecorded) papago n. sp. 



10 Fine incised line parallel -to the thoracic apex distinct, delimiting a 

 convex margination. Body unusually narrow and elongate, deep 

 black and polished throughout, the legs, obscure, the femora and 

 trochanters brighter, rufous; head somewhat elongate, nearly three- 

 fourths as wide as the prothorax; eyes rather prominent, the sulci
