DYNASTIN..E 193 



broadly confused postero-laterad; pygidium finely, feebly scabri- 

 culate near the base throughout the width, elsewhere very feebly 

 and remotely, indistinctly punctulate; hind tibiae notably stout, but 

 little more than twice as long as the rapidly expanded apex; hind 

 tarsi stout, a little shorter than the tibiaB. Length (cf) 15.0 mm.; 

 width 7.9 mm. New York (Willets Point, Long Island). 



longulus n. sp. 



Form oblong, narrower and more parallel, barely visibly dilated behind; 

 color very pale ochreo-ferruginous throughout, shining, the head and 

 median part of the pronotum anteriorly blackish; head more than 

 two-fifths as wide as the prothorax, rather finely and not densely 

 rugose, smooth at base, not medially impressed, the transverse 

 ridge even, not attaining the margin; clypeal teeth small, the mandi- 

 bular acute, triangular; prothorax short, nearly three-fourths wider 

 than long, the sides parallel, arcuately converging in less than apical 

 half, the basal angles narrowly rounded viewed dorsally; punctures 

 sparse, rather large but shallow, toward the sides not larger but rather 

 smaller and sparser; base broadly, feebly lobed; impression well 

 developed, deep, smooth, sparsely punctate, the tubercle broadly 

 triangular: scutellum smooth; elytra about a sixth longer than wide, 

 much more than twice as long as the prothorax and but very little 

 wider, broadly rounded at apex, having the series as usual but unim- 

 pressed and with small, feeble and widely spaced punctures, the 

 intervals almost impunctate, the subsutural sparsely toward base; 

 punctures laterally fine and sparse; pygidium finely and remotely 

 punctulate, feebly and finely rugulose at the sides; abdomen as- 

 perately punctate laterally, smooth medially, the last ventral of the 

 male evidently sinuate medially; sternal pubescence not dense but 

 long and tawny-yellow; hind tibiae stout, obconic, the anterior 

 purely tridentate as usual. Length (cf) 12.8 mm.; width 7.3 mm. 

 Virginia (Fort Monroe) virginicus n. sp. 



4 Body of peculiarly parallel outline, the elytra only very feebly inflated 

 just behind the middle. Shining, dark castaneous in color, the under 

 surface and legs paler rufous; head rather small, not coarsely, closely 

 rugose, smooth at base, the carina sharp, even, not depressed medially 

 and widely separated from the sides; clypeal teeth of the usual form, 

 acute; prothorax slightly more than one-half wider than long, the 

 sides between the very broadly rounded basal angles and the ante- 

 median arcuation very feebly converging and slightly sinuate, 

 strongly converging apically; base broadly lobed; punctures moder- 

 ately sparse, coarse, wanting along the middle basally and less 

 coarse and rather sparser laterally: anterior pit moderate, smooth, 

 sparsely punctate, the tubercle rather strongly elevated; scutellum 

 smooth, with very few fine punctures; elytra about as wide as the 

 prothorax and not quite twice as long, evidently longer than wide, 

 very obtusely rounded at apex, the series oblique and regular as 

 usual, rather broadly impressed and with coarse annulate punctures, 

 smaller and deeper in the sutural series, smaller but still rather coarse 

 and confused postero-laterad, coarse and scattered over the sub-
