the middle, very densely, somewhat confusedly granose, the surface 

 very feebly tumescent at each side of the impressed median line in 

 about median third of the length; scutellum longer than wide, 

 broadly rounded at tip, densely punctate and dull throughout; 

 elytra much more than twice as long as wide, finely, very densely 

 punctate and dull throughout, the surface also coarsely and feebly 

 rugose, the two median ridges strong, especially the inner, the inter- 

 mediates feeble, the sublateral barely traceable and very fine; apex 

 abruptly obtuse, covering the last dorsal segment; hind tarsi very 

 slender, the basal joint a little longer than the next two, the second 

 more than twice as long as wide. Length (cf , 9 ) 10.8-11.0 mm.; 



width 3.2-3.9 mm. Washington State pugetanum n. sp. 



Form ob ong and parallel, only slightly convex, black, the elytra very 

 dark brown; head densely, not very coarsely punctate, concave 

 medially; antennae (c?) very short, stouter than in any other species, 

 extending to basal sixth of the elytra, pale brown in color, rather 

 conspicuously and pallidly pubescent, the second joint but little 

 longer than wide, fifth one-half longer than the sixth, which is dis- 

 tinctly shorter than the seventh, tenth less than one-half longer than 

 wide; prothorax one-half wider than long, distinctly narrower than 

 the elytra, parallel, the sides broadly, subevenly rounded; surface 

 feebly convex, shining, strongly and closely granose, not only im- 

 pressed finely along the median line but with an oval impression at 

 each side at lateral and basal fourth; scutellum wider than long, 

 semicircular, finely punctate, differing from any other species in 

 having an entire impunctate median line; elytra a little more than 

 twice as long as wide, parallel, very obtusely rounded at tip, finely, 

 very densely punctate and dull, the two median ridges distinct, 

 the intervals rugose; last dorsal covered, broad and very broadly 

 rounded at apex; abdomen shining, feebly punctulate, black, brown- 

 ish apically; hind tarsi missing in the type. Length (cf) 12.8 

 mm.; width. 4.3 mm. Canada (Ontario) brevicorne n. sp. 



The species described by Haldeman (1. c., p. 36) under the name 

 fuscum, I do not know; it is recorded as a synonym of moestum in 

 the Munich catalogue and seems to have dropped out of sight 

 but may nevertheless be a distinct species, as it is only 8 mm. 

 in length, testaceous, with the metasternum and hind coxae piceous, 

 the prothorax even and the elytra parallel, with obsolete elevated 

 lines; it is described as inhabiting Pennsylvania and its size and 

 peculiar coloration should permit of easy identification. Substria- 

 tum of Haldeman (1. c., p. 36), from Massachusetts, is recorded as 

 a synonym of mosstum in the Munich catalogue and as a variety 

 in the Henshaw list; it would seem from the published characters 

 to be a much less distinct form than fuscum. The locality of 

 juvencum Hald., is not stated. Brevicorne is an aberrant species
