34Q MEMOIRS ON THE COLEOPTERA 



elytra shorter, barely two-fifths longer than wide, barely less than 

 one-half wider than the prothorax, the striae deep and smooth and 

 the intervals rather strongly convex, equally in the two sexes; scu- 

 tellar stria moderate, free posteriorly. Length (cf 9 ) 7.7-8.5 mm.; 

 width 3.3-3.6 mm. Indiana. [Feronia fastidita Dej., and Stomis 

 americana Laf.] ' honestus Say 



Hind body very moderately inflated, the elytra narrower than in hon- 

 estus and differing in having the sides not more strongly rounding 

 basally 4 



4 Form suboblong-oval, rather convex, polished, piceous, the elytra 

 more rufous; under surface and legs rufous; head more than two- 

 thirds as wide a's the prothorax, the eyes large and rather prominent, 

 the anterior sulci moderate, straight, just visibly converging and 

 extending posteriorly to a point opposite the anterior limit of the 

 eyes; antennae ferruginous, half as long as the body; prothorax but 

 just visibly wider than long, widest at apical two-fifths; base evi- 

 dently wider than the apex, which is only very feebly sinuate; sides 

 subevenly rounded, abruptly becoming straight and parallel in about 

 basal seventh or eighth, the angles right and sharp, the surface and 

 foveae nearly as in the two preceding; elytra one-half longer than 

 wide, at the middle about three-sevenths wider than the prothorax, 

 evenly oblong-oval, the sides evenly arcuate, the striae deep, smooth, 

 the scutellar rather long and generally joining the first; intervals 

 strongly convex. Length (cf) 8.0 mm.; width 3.25 mm. A single 

 example from the Levette collection, probably collected in Indiana. 



scolopaceus n. sp. 



Form, coloration, lustre and general characters as in scolopaceus but 

 smaller and narrower; head narrower and with the anterior sulci 

 coarser, longer, more irregular and extending posteriorly to a point 

 nearly opposite the middle of the eyes, feebly converging; antennae 

 as in the preceding but much shorter, slender; prothorax as in scolo- 

 paceus, except that the base is slightly narrower than the apex and 

 that the rounded sides posteriorly are gradually and more broadly 

 sinuate, not becoming quite parallel even at the angles, which are 

 somewhat more than right and sharp, though not at all prominent; 

 elytra in outline and proportion nearly as in the preceding but a 

 little shorter, the striae and intervals similar, except that the scu- 

 tellar stria is obsolete, represented only .by a feeble oval prolongation 

 of the ocellate puncture. Length (9) 7.0 mm.; width 2.7 mm. 

 Indiana deficiens n. sp. 



5 Body strongly ventricose, polished, black or piceous, the elytra some- 

 times rufous; under surface piceous, the legs pale rufous, the femora 

 shaded slightly darker basally; head rather small, three-fifths as 

 wide as the prothorax, elongate, the eyes well developed though not 

 very prominent; anterior sulci deep, punctured, almost parallel; 

 antennae ferruginous, slender; prothorax about as long as wide, the 

 sides strongly rounded, abruptly sinuate, the angles acute, minutely 

 prominent and everted; base margined throughout, rather wider 

 than the apex, which is barely visibly sinuate; surface nearly as in 

 the preceding species, except that there are no subbasal punctures;
