17 Legs testaceous, the tarsi piceous to blackish in color. Body rather 

 stout, parallel, deep black and very shining (cf ), the elytra distinctly 

 alutaceous (9 ), the epipleura black; antennae and trophi testaceous, 

 the mandibles piceo-rufous, black at tip; head three-fifths (cf) to 

 fully two-thirds ( 9 ) as wide as the prothorax, the eyes only moder- 

 ately prominent, the antennae rather slender, the minute perforate 

 foveae not touching the very faint or obsolete suture; prothorax 

 two-fifths wider than long, the sides subevenly and rather strongly 

 arcuate, the apex distinctly sinuate, narrower than the base and with 

 rather narrowly rounded angles, the base transverse, with the fine 

 bead interrupted at the middle and the angles obtuse and rather 

 broadly rounded; surface extremely finely reflexed at the sides 

 apically, the gutter rather rapidly widening and punctulate pos- 

 teriorly, becoming lost in the general feeble convexity near basal 

 fourth, the foveae rather broadly impressed, .deep and strongly 

 punctate; elytra short, two-fifths longer than wide, slightly though 

 evidently wider than the prothorax, parallel, obtusely subcircularly 

 rounded in apical third, the sinus short and extremely feeble, ves- 

 tigial, the striae rather fine, evidently impressed, the scutellar a 

 sixth the entire length, the intervals evidently convex suturad, 

 nearly flat laterad, the puncture small, near apical third; basal 

 joint of the hind tarsi equal in length to the fifth (cf ), or a little 

 longer (9). Length (cf 9 ) 8.0-8.5 mm.; width 3.2-3.4 mm. 

 Labrador (\V. St. Modest), Sherman and in Michigan. Five 

 examples recensus n. sp. 



Legs clear and pale testaceous throughout, the tarsi not darker 18 



18 Sides of the prothorax from the middle to the rounded basal angles 

 straight and feebly converging. Form oblong-elongate, rather con- 

 vex, shining, the elytra ( 9 ) only very faintly alutaceous, piceous- 

 black, the elytra slightly brownish, the under surface black, some- 

 what rufescent medially and on the abdomen, the epipleura flavo- 

 testaceous; antennae and trophi testaceous; mandibles dark rufous, 

 black at tip; head three-fifths as wide as the prothorax, the eyes 

 prominent, the antennae rather short, not attaining the thoracic 

 base; prothorax rather large, two-fifths wider than long, the apical 

 margin peculiar in being barely visibly sinuate, transversely truncate 

 from a more posterior viewpoint, with very broadly rounded angles, 

 but slightly narrower than the base, which is transverse, rounding 

 slightly at the sides, the bead fine but entire; surface very finely 

 reflexed at the sides, the gutter increasing but slightly posteriorly, 

 becoming lost near basal third, the foveae sublinear but broadly 

 impressed, deep and rugosely punctate; transverse anterior im- 

 pression evident medially, the stria very fine; elytra not quite one- 

 half longer than wide, barely wider than the prothorax, parallel, 

 with broadly rounded sides, obtusely rounded in apical third, the
