44 MEMOIRS ox THE COLEOPTERA 



alutaceous and micro-reticulate; antennae very slender and filiform, nearly 

 three-fifths as long as the body; prothorax one-half wider than long, 

 widest near apical third, where the sides are rather strongly rounded, 

 thence moderately converging and more feebly arcuate to the basal 

 angles, which are obtuse but distinct and subprominent; apex broadly 

 sinuate, barely as wide as the base; surface smooth and polished, with 

 strong abbreviated median stria and, at the basal margin near each side, 

 a small feeble fovea; elytra nearly one-half longer than wide, parallel, 

 with nearly straight sides and abruptly very obtuse apex, a third to 

 nearly half wider than the prothorax, the strise rather broadly impressed 

 and not at all sharply defined; humeri right and narrowly rounded. 

 Length 1.6-1.8 mm.; width 0.65-0.75 mm. Mississippi (Vicksburg). 



A series of eight specimens were all that I could find among debris 

 of fallen leaves in one of the narrow ravines south of the town.
