HARPALIN^E 245 



thence oblique and very feebly arcuate to the minutely prominent 

 basal angles; base transverse, anteriorly arcuate at the sides, not 

 quite as wide as the truncate apex; surface convex, smooth, extremely 

 finely, evenly reflexed at the sides, feebly impressed and strongly, 

 closely punctate latero-basally, the stria fine and subentire; elytra 

 one-half longer than wide and two-fifths wider than the prothorax, 

 parallel, circularly rounded at apex, the striae deeply impressed, the 

 scutellar wholly wanting, the intervals distinctly convex; discal 

 puncture near three-fifths; hind tarsi slender, fully three-fourths as 

 long as the tibiae, the basal joint as long 3s the next two, the fifth as 

 long as the preceding three combined. Length 3.4-3.6 mm.; 

 width 1.15-1.2 mm. New Jersey (Atlantic City) supplex n. sp. 



Antenaae slender 5 



5 Antennae unusually long, more than half as long as the body, filiform 

 and very slender on the narrow side, apically increasing in width on 

 the compressed side. Color throughout as in the preceding, except 

 that the elytra are largely blackish, broadly pale basally, less so 

 laterally and finely along the suture, and that the abdomen is gradu- 

 ally pale apically; head relatively much smaller and with less promi- 

 nent eyes, about three-fifths as wide as the prothorax, the vertex with 

 a central puncture; prothorax more transverse, two-fifths wider than 

 long, widest near apical third but with the sides more evenly rounded 

 throughout than in the preceding, distinctly arcuate to the minute 

 acute prominence at the obtuse basal angles; base narrower than the 

 sinuato-truncate apex; surface as in the preceding, except that the 

 basal foveae are smaller, deeper and more definite and with a much 

 smaller punctured area; the median stria is stronger; elytra fully 

 one-half longer than wide and less than two-fifths wider than the 

 prothorax, the striae and intervals as in supplex; hind tarsi slender, 

 fully three-fourths as long as the tibiae, the basal joint not as long as 

 the next two, the fifth distinctly shorter than the preceding three 

 combined; claws similarly very slender; anterior tarsi (cf) distinctly 

 dilated, each of the first four joints with two large, obliquely diverging 

 scale-like plates, the middle tarsi undilated and unmodified beneath. 

 Length (c?) 4.2 mm.; width 1.4 mm. New York (Catskill Mts.), 

 H. H. Smith antennalis n. sp. 



Antennae half as long as the body, not increasing in width apically on the 

 compressed side 6 



6 Elytra with a very short though evident scutellar stria, being the only 

 known exception in the entire genus. Body elongate-suboval, 

 rather convex, very shining, pale testaceous in color, the head red- 

 brown and the prothorax clear rufous, the elytra testaceous, with a 

 common rounded posterior black spot crossing the suture; under 

 surface of the hind body entirely black, the epipleura and legs pale 

 testaceous; head not large though nearly three-fourths as wide as 

 the prothorax, with prominent eyes; antennae rather more developed 

 than in any of the four following species, dark brown, paler basally; 

 prothorax rather small and very feebly transverse, not a fourth wider 

 than long, otherwise nearly as in the preceding, except that the base 

 is not evidently narrower than the truncate apex; stria deep and entire;
