HARPALIN/E 141 



broadly rounded, the base very feebly emarginate; surface almost flat, 

 the transverse impressions almost wanting, the stria extremely fine, 

 entire, the foveae broad, very shallow, finely punctate; elytra slightly 

 wider than the prothorax, parallel, rounded behind, with viridi-cyaneous 

 reflections, striate, the scutellar stria long and distinct; intervals nearly 

 flat, the series inconspicuous, the marginal series broadly interrupted at 

 the middle. Length 6.5 mm.; width 2.7 mm. Pennsyvlania and 

 Georgia. 



From this evidence I think there can be no doubt that varicolor 

 Lee., is truly a synonym of iripennis Say, and depressulus of the 

 above table is evidently closely allied, but, as the thoracic stria 

 is by no means entire, the size somewhat smaller, the apical elytral 

 sinus probably deeper and the geographic habitat quite different 

 at the same time considering the multiplication of allied species 

 in the warmer parts of the country, I am disposed to leave it as 

 announced for the present. The matter seems to be settled in 

 favor of this course by Dr. Horn, who states (Proc. Am. Phil. Soc., 

 1880, p. 182) that in iripennis the hind angles of the prothorax 

 are distinct but obtuse and that there are a few fine punctures in 

 the vague basal impressions, and further that the elytra are scarcely 

 sinuate. In depressulus the hind angles are broadly rounded, the 

 punctuation of the latero-basal parts distinctly dense and the elytral 

 sinus deeper and more obvious than in any other species. 



Celiamorphus n. gen. 



Although not differing by any decisive structural characters from 

 the preceding or from Selenophorus, it seems fitting to separate 

 the small elliptical subdepressed species allied to ellipticus Dej., 

 as a distinct genus, because of their different habitus and opaque 

 integuments, at least in the female, these sexual differences being 

 unknown apparently in either of those genera. The prosternal 

 process is narrow, horizontal and very strongly margined through- 

 out, and the hind tarsi are very long. The species are compara- 

 tively few in number and rather closely allied among themselves. 

 By the descriptions of Dejean I am unable to separate the granarius 

 and pulicarius of that author from his ellipticus and so have ar- 

 bitrarily affixed these names to a rather inharmonious series taken 

 in the Atlantic region, whence the types of that author probably 

 came. There are, however, some other forms that seem to be 

 distinct and I would arrange them as follows:
