AMARIN/E 281 



not interrupted; intervals evidently (cf), or very feebly (9), con- 

 vex. Length (cf 9 ) 4.8-5.75 mm.; width 2.3-2.6 mm. Two speci- 

 mens from the Levette collection, probably collected in Indiana. 

 One from the New Jersey seashore is apparently identical. 



nugator n. sp. 



Form very much as in nugator but rather more obscurely rufous, with 

 longer prothorax, shorter head and different hind tarsi, the basal 

 joint nearly as long as the next two together, while in nugator the 

 second joint is normally elongate relatively, the second and third 

 much longer than the first; surface polished; head distinctly more 

 than half as wide as the prothorax, with large and prominent eyes 

 and short feebly oblique strioles; antennae ferruginous, slender, com- 

 pressed as usual, extending far behind the thoracic base; prothorax 

 less than one-half wider than long, the sides feebly arcuate, gradu- 

 ally more so and converging anteriorly; apex sinuato-truncate, 

 nearly three-fourths as wide as the base, with broadly rounded angles; 

 basal angles narrowly rounded; impressions subobsolete, the stria 

 fine, feebly impressed; punctures of the foveal regions almost com- 

 pletely wanting, two or three in number in the type; inner fovea 

 fine, feeble and linear, the outer small, rounded, almost obsolete; 

 elytra two-fifths longer than wide, equal in width to the prothorax, 

 gradually ogival behind; striae rather fine but sharp, feebly impressed, 

 with very small but evident, rather well separated punctures, the 

 scutellar very short, oblique; lateral series narrowly interrupted. 

 Length (cf) 5.3 mm.; width 2.2 mm. Virginia (Fortress Monroe). 



curticeps n. sp. 



Form oblong-oval, stouter and much larger than nugator, pale flavo- 

 testaceous and shining throughout; sides of the metasternum and 

 the met-episterna with a few coarsish punctures; head barely half 

 as wide as the prothorax, with only moderately convex eyes, the 

 strioles short, feeble and irregular; antennae slender, ferruginous, 

 barely longer than the thoracic width in the female; prothorax dis- 

 tinctly less than one-half wider than long, wider behind the middle 

 than at base; sides subevenly arcuate, the obtuse basal angles rounded, 

 with the coarse puncture very close to the angle; apex fully two-thirds 

 as wide as the base, distinctly sinuate, with broadly blunt angles; 

 impressions obsolete; punctures of the foveal regions rather coarse, 

 few in number and in or near the inner fovea, which is feebly im- 

 pressed and briefly sublinear, the outer a small punctiform indenta- 

 tion; elytra not much more than a third longer than wide, evenly 

 rounded posteriorly, barely wider than the prothorax, with broadly 

 arcuate sides; striae coarse, sharply groove-like, with moderate but 

 distinct punctures, the scutellar short, entire, widely free behind, 

 the lateral series not definitely interrupted; intervals very feebly 

 convex. Length (9) 7-O mm.; width 3.5 mm. Kansas. 



haldemani n. sp. 



Form notably elongate and parallel, convex, highly polished in both sexes, 

 testaceous throughout; head barely more than half as wide as the 

 prothorax, with prominent eyes and small, unevenly impressed stri- 

 oles; antennae ferruginous, much longer than the thoracic width;
