rugose apically, the marginal groove continuing around the apices 

 to the suture, the raised lines obsolete; prosternum distinctly and 

 closely, the metasternum very conspicuously, pubescent; middle 

 tarsi finely grooved, the groove entire. Length (cf 1 ) 30.0 mm. ; width 

 15.0 mm. Mexico (Colonia Garcia, Chihuahua), Townsend. 



*curticollis n. sp. 



4 Male piceous-black, with the elytra dark castaneous, narrow in 

 form, convex, rather shining, the head moderate, much narrower 

 behind than across the eyes, the latter notably convex, separated 

 by somewhat less than three-fifths their width; antennae extending 

 three-fifths from the elytral base, moderately stout, slightly tapering, 

 the joints differing very much from those of the preceding species, 

 not being divaricately biserrate, the sixteenth joint in one specimen, 

 or seventeenth in another, moderate in size and extremely irregular; 

 prothorax very nearly as in laticollis in form, great transversality 

 and size, the teeth very moderate but acute, the hind angles right, 

 not prominent, strongly punctate laterally; scutellum ogival; elytra 

 about a sixth wider than the prothorax, two-thirds longer than wide, 

 the sides distinctly converging and broadly arcuate from base to the 

 moderately broad, conjointly rounded apex; punctures rather large, 

 deep, somewhat close-set and conspicuous, finely substellate in 

 contour, becoming fine near the base, the raised lines feeble; sterna 

 conspicuously pubescent, the tarsi slender. Female differing greatly 

 from the male in its stouter, parallel and suboval form, more shining 

 surface, finer and sparser elytral punctures and very short and slender 

 antennae, which are but little more than two-fifths as long as the 

 body; the elytra are more individually rounded at tip and the sterna 

 much less pubescent. Length (cf) 28.0-31.0, (9) 36.0 mm.; 



width (cf) 10.5-12.0, (9 ) 14.5 mm. Indiana diversus n. sp. 



A Nearly similar to the preceding but with much narrower prothorax 

 and very much more rapidly tapering elytra from base to the 

 much more narrowly rounded apex; head, eyes and antennae nearly 

 similar; prothorax much less transverse, the teeth still smaller, 

 the anterior and middle still less widely separated, the hind angles 

 more prominent, sometimes decidedly acute; elytra longer, three- 

 fourths longer than wide, more than a fourth wider than the pro- 

 thorax, more shining, the punctures as large but much less close 

 and shallower, the raised lines stronger, the two inner conspicuous, 

 the external nearly obsolete. Length (c?) 30.0-31.5 mm.; width 

 12.0-12.5 mm. North Carolina (Southern Pines), A. H. Manee. 



cuneatus n. subsp. 



5 Eyes approximate, separated by a third of their own width; color 

 dark red-brown throughout, the elytra strongly sculptured. Body 

 oblong, subparallel, moderately convex, somewhat shining though 

 not strongly; head moderate, narrower behind than across the eyes, 

 which are large and notably convex; antennae (cf ) rather stout, 

 somewhat fusoid, long, extending to apical fifth of the elytra, the 

 last joint extremely irregular, composed of at least two amalgamated 

 joints; oblique apical lobes of the joints long and much developed 

 but not serrate at the sides from above as they are in curticollis and
