HARPALIKLE 101 



Basal angles of the prothorax distinctly and rather broadly rounded.. .21 

 21 Body oblong-elongate, convex, very shining, piceous-brown above, 

 wholly pale ferruginous throughout beneath the type probably 

 somewhat immature; head rather well developed, with prominent 

 and well developed eyes, slightly more than three-fifths as wide as 

 the prothorax, as in the preceding throughout, the antennae rather 

 stout, not quite attaining the thoracic base; prothorax fully one-half 

 wider than long, the base transverse, the bead strong and entire; 

 surface very finely reflexed at the sides anteriorly, the gutter rapidly 

 widening, becoming flat, strongly punctate and wholly disappearing 

 only at about basal sixth, the stria fine but strong, the basal punctu- 

 ation strong throughout but interrupted medially; elytra not over 

 two-fifths longer than wide, not evidently wider than the prothorax, 

 obtusely ogival in about posterior two-fifths, the sides parallel and 

 but feebly arcuate, the external margin, as also that of the prothorax, 

 testaceous; striae not very fine, slightly impressed, the scutellar 

 long, free as usual; intervals not quite flat, the puncture near 

 posterior third, rather small and not touching the second stria; sinus 

 very feeble; basal joint of the hind tarsi much shorter than the fifth. 

 Length (d 71 ) 9.5 mm.; width 3.5 mm. Colorado (Boulder Co.). 



perspicuus n. sp. 



Body smaller and slightly less convex, oblong, shining, black, the elytra 

 very dark brown; under surface black, the legs and epipleura bright 

 testaceous; ambient bead of the pronotum testaceous, as is frequently 

 the case; head very moderate, not quite three-fifths as wide as the 

 prothorax, with well developed prominent eyes, the usually dark 

 rufous mandibles black at tip; antennae scarcely attaining the thor- 

 acic base; prothorax barely one-half wider than long, the base 

 transverse, with the bead very fine though not quite interrupted 

 medially; surface very finely reflexed at the sides apically, the 

 gutter rather rapidly widening, curving inward, becoming feebly and 

 sparsely punctulate and disappearing near basal third, the stria 

 fine but rather broadly impressed; basal punctuation very fine and 

 sparse on the smooth lateral convexity and interrupted medially; 

 elytra not distinctly wider than the prothorax, rather abruptly 

 rounded in about apical third, the parallel sides feebly arcuate, the 

 sinus broad but extremely feeble ; striae rather strong, feebly impressed, 

 the scutellar long, the intervals very moderately convex and as 

 usual more so suturad than laterad, the puncture distinct and at 

 the second stria near posterior third; basal joint of the hind tarsi 

 evidently shorter than the fifth. Length (cf) 8.4-8.6 mm.; width 



3.1-3.2 mm. Wisconsin (Bayfield), Wickham lividulus n. sp. 



22 Prothorax rounded at the sides anteriorly, the upper surface always 



black or piceous in color 23 



Prothorax oblique and feebly arcuate at the sides in nearly anterior half, 

 the apex notably narrowed; upper surface vivid green in color 



throughout 34 



23 Legs pale ferruginous or testacous in color throughout 24 



Legs black, either entirely or in great part 27
