sides subevenly and strongly arcuate, becoming parallel basally, 

 the angles right but rounded, the puncture strong, nearer base than 

 side; apex two-thirds as wide as the base, feebly sinuate, with broadly 

 blunt angles; impressions obsolete; punctures of the foveal regions 

 few and sparse, moderate in size; foveae feebly impressed, the inner 

 sublinear, the outer smaller and rounded; elytra nearly as in the 

 preceding in form and relationship, the strife finer, much less im- 

 pressed and only very finely though obviously punctate, the scutel- 

 lar still shorter, widely free at tip, the lateral series rather sharply 

 though not broadly interrupted; intervals flat. Length (9) 6.0 



mm.; width 2.8 mm. New Jersey (Cape May) proditor n. sp. 



Prothorax decidedly transverse, one-half or more wider than long . . . . 1 1 

 n- Basal thoracic angles right and not definitely rounded, though finely 

 blunt at apex. Body elongate-oval, convex, polished, pale rufo- 

 testaceous, the legs somewhat more flavate, the femora more slen- 

 der than in either of the two preceding; head scarcely more than 

 half as wide as the prothorax, with prominent eyes and very small 

 strides; antennae ferruginous, slender, much longer than the tho- 

 racic width; prothorax distinctly more than one-half wider than long, 

 the sides broadly, evenly arcuate, parallel only near the base; apex 

 three-fourths as wide as the base, very feebly sinuate, with broadly 

 rounded angles; impressions obsolete; foveal regions in the type 

 wholly impunctate, excepting a small cluster within the inner fovea, 

 which is broadly, feebly impressed and sublinear, the outer very 

 small, feeble and punctiform; angular puncture rather small, at a 

 considerable distance from both base and side; elytra as wide as 

 the prothorax, two-fifths longer than wide, gradually ogival pos- 

 teriorly; striae fine, feebly impressed, extremely finely punctulate 

 by anteriorly oblique light, the scutellar very short, irregular; lat- 

 eral series very narrowly interrupted; intervals broadly, just visibly 

 convex. Length (9 ) 5.5 mm.; width 2.6 mm. New York (Sheeps- 



head Bay, Long Island), Shoemaker lyncea n. sp. 



Basal thoracic angles definitely and distinctly rounded 12 



12 Form oblong-oval, convex, polished, the elytra not definitely less 

 so in the female, rufo-testaceous throughout, the femora slender; 

 tarsi long and slender; head barely more than half as wide as the 

 prothorax, with well developed prominent eyes and very small sub- 

 punctiform strioles; antennae obscure ferruginous, clearer basally, 

 much longer than the thoracic width; prothorax barely one-half 

 wider than long, the sides broadly, feebly arcuate, slightly more so 

 and more converging apically, almost parallel basally; basal angles 

 only very narrowly rounded; apex over two-thirds as wide as the 

 base, very faintly sinuate, with broadly rounded angles; impressions 

 obsolete; punctures of the foveal regions basal, rather coarse, mod- 

 erately numerous; inner fovea feeble but linear, the outer very small, 

 feeble, the angular puncture small or moderate, slightly nearer base 

 than side; elytra two-fifths longer than wide, not or scarcely wider 

 than the prothorax, obtusely ogival in apical third; striae rather fine 

 but sharp, deep and slightly impressed, somewhat finely and closely 

 punctate, the scutellar short and disintegrated, the lateral series
