HARPALINVE 81 



impressed suturad, the scutellar long, strong and free, the intervals 

 flat laterally, shining and feebly alutaceous, the marginal not more 

 opaque than the others; tarsi rather slender. Length (cf) 10.8 

 mm.; width 3.9 mm. New York (Willets Point, Long Island). One 

 specimen effetus n. sp. 



Form much more parallel and evidently more depressed than in any of 

 the preceding species, rather dull black (cf ), the entire under surface, 

 legs, trophi and antennae, also the reflexed edges of the prothorax, 

 pale testaceous; mandibles black at tip; small foveae of the front 

 slightly less widely separated than in erythropus, the eyes and an- 

 tennae nearly similar; prothorax much more quadrate, somewhat as 

 infaunus but shorter and with much finer and closer basal punctures; 

 sides parallel, evenly but much more feebly arcuate than in erythro- 

 pus, though otherwise nearly similar, the basal foveae similarly very 

 shallow and vague; elytra nearly similar in form but with the parallel 

 sides slighter, the surface less convex and duller, two and three- 

 fourth times as long as the prothorax and about a fifth wider. 

 Length (cf) 12.0 mm.; width 4.3 mm. Missouri (St Louis). One 

 example fenisex n. sp. 



7 Hind tarsi not or very sparsely and inconspicuously pubescent above. 8 



Hind, as well as the other tarsi, rather densely and conspicuously pu- 

 bescent throughout their upper surface 9 



8 Body rather stout and convex, deep black above and beneath, with 

 testaceous legs, the upper surface polished throughout (cf ) or dull, 

 especially on the elytra ( 9 ) ; head notably large, with moderate and 

 prominent eyes, two-thirds to three-fourths as wide as the prothorax, 

 the antennae slender but not so long as in pennsylvanicus, barely 

 extending to the thoracic base (cf ) ; prothorax large, only just visibly 

 narrower than the elytra, two-fifths to nearly one-half wider than 

 long, the sides coarsely reflexed and punctured, broadly and sub- 

 evenly rounded, the basal angles obtuse and roundly blunted, the 

 impressions large, very shallow and vague; elytra three-fifths longer 

 than wide, the striae rather fine, the scutellar very long and strong 

 as usual, the intervals flat ( 9 ) or feebly convex and shining (cf); 

 legs and tarsi nearly as in erythropus. Length (cf 9 ) 13.0-16.5 mm. ; 

 width 4.7-5.8 mm. Rhode Island and Northern New York to 

 Indiana. Common. [//. bicolor Dej. nee Fabr. ; pennsylvanicus Say 

 nee DeG.] compar Lee. 



Body much less stout and rather less convex, subparallel, shining in the 

 male, piceous-black, variegated with piceous and pale testaceous 

 beneath, the legs and antennae pale as usual; head large, testaceous 

 anteriorly; antennae and eyes as in compar, the prothorax nearly 

 similar throughout, except that the punctures basally are fine and 

 feebler, gradually notably sparse from the large, feebly impressed 

 punctate foveae to the sides and not dense as in compar; elytra 

 narrower and rather more elongate, fully two-thirds longer than wide, 

 only a little wider than the prothorax, the striae somewhat deeply 

 impressed (cf ) and with rather convex polished intervals; punctures 

 at base externally only very few and close to the marginal bead;
