numerous, moderately coarse; inner fovea linear, long, feebly im- 

 pressed, the outer circular, small, deep and rather distant from the 

 base; elytra two-fifths longer than wide, not evidently wider than 

 the prothorax in either sex, rather gradually ogival behind; striae 

 rather fine, very feebly impressed, the scutellar short, free and 'irreg- 

 ular; lateral series not or narrowly interrupted; intervals broadly 

 and feebly convex in both sexes, rather less in the female. Length 

 (cf 9 ) 5.5-6.0 mm.; width 2.25-2.6 mm. Arizona (probably south- 

 ern) pimalis n. sp. 



Striae distinctly punctured; Atlantic faunal regions 15 



15 Body narrowly elongate-oval, rather convex, polished in both sexes, 

 piceo-testaceous, the head and pronotum more flavate; under sur- 

 face and legs very pale rufous; integuments very thin and subhya- 

 line; head small, scarcely over half as wide as the prothorax, with 

 prominent eyes and short fine linear and oblique strioles; antennae 

 flavo-ferruginous, extending far behind the thoracic base; prothorax 

 very nearly one-half wider than long, the sides broadly, feebly arcu- 

 ate and slightly converging from near the base to the apex, which 

 is almost three-fourths as wide as the base and feebly though evi- 

 dently sinuate, the angles broadly blunt; basal angles obtuse and 

 bluntly rounded at tip; impressions feeble, the stria very fine; punc- 

 tures of the foveal regions strong but few in number, clustering 

 about the inner fovea, which is broad, feeble and sublinear, the outer 

 small, rounded, distant from the base; elytra not quite one-half 

 longer than wide, about as wide as the prothorax, very gradually 

 ogival from near the middle, the lateral series not interrupted; 

 striae fine, feebly impressed in the male, with the punctures fine, the 

 scutellar very short, oblique; intervals slightly convex (cf ), nearly 

 flat (9). Length (cf 9 ) 4-7-5-3 mm.; width 1.9-2.3 mm. New 



York (Long Island), Ernest Shoemaker shoemaker! n. sp. 



Body less narrowly oblong-oval, convex, highly polished, bright rufous, 

 the elytra feebly picescent; under surface rufous, the legs flavo- 

 testaceous: head notably small, scarcely one-half as wide as the pro- 

 thorax; eyes moderately prominent, the strioles linear and oblique; 

 antennae not very slender, flavo-ferruginous, barely longer than the 

 thoracic width in the male; prothorax about two-fifths wider than 

 long; sides broadly arcuate, gradually more so and converging an- 

 teriorly, the basal angles slightly obtuse and narrowly rounded, with 

 the puncture deep and symmetrically included; apex not quite three- 

 fourths as wide as the base, sinuato-truncate, with very broadly 

 rounded angles; impressions obsolete, the stria very fine, slightly ab- 

 breviated; punctures of the foveal regions rather coarse, few in num- 

 ber, mostly near the inner fovea, which is very feeble, broadly sub- 

 linear, the outer small, rounded, punctiform, deeply impressed and 

 remote from the base; elytra not quite one-half longer than wide, 

 equal in width to the prothorax, gradually ogival posteriorly; striae 

 rather coarse, impressed, somewhat strongly and closely punctate, 

 the scutellar very short, incomplete or disintegrated; lateral series 

 widely separated but scarcely interrupted medially; intervals not- 

 ably convex. Length (cf) 5.2 mm.; width 2.25 mm. New York
