elytron ; there are also a few moderately long erect stiff tactile 

 hairs arising from coarser punctures, arranged linearly among the 

 smaller and closer punctures, a series along the sutural margin 

 being especially conspicuous; according, however, to Mr. Schaeffer, 

 the antennae would seem to be much more flattened and distally 

 carinate than in any other, making a closer approach to Aneflus 

 in this respect. The two species first described below are consistent 

 allies of subpubescens and the third is also very similar in every way, 

 except in the structure of the elytral apices and in the stronger 

 subbasal antennal carina. 



Aneflomorpha seminuda n. sp. Form as in subpubescens but smaller 

 and relatively still narrower, pale brownish-testaceous throughout; head 

 and prothorax very densely, subrugosely punctate and with moderate 

 even subdecumbent hairs, the latter cylindric, about a sixth longer than 

 wide, the sides very feebly prominent at the middle and slightly rounding 

 at apex, the surface very evenly, coarsely and confluently punctate 

 throughout, the walls of the punctures entire at their posterior but 

 generally open at their anterior margins; antennse (cT) about as long as 

 the body, slender, the spines very small, wanting after the fifth joint, 

 the third two-fifths longer than the fourth; scutellum rounded, very 

 densely and pallidly pubescent; elytra perfectly parallel, with straight 

 sides, more than three times as long as the prothorax and not quite two- 

 fifths wider, the punctures rather coarse, deep, separated by scarcely 

 more than their diameters basally, becoming gradually very fine and 

 relatively less close at the apices, the latter narrowly and rather deeply 

 sinuate, the sinuses limited at each side by equal and acutely dentiform 

 angles, which are not at all spiniform; femora slender, scarcely at all 

 spinose at apex; fifth ventral (a 71 ) with the rectilinearly truncate apex 

 only half as wide as the base. Length (c?) 13.8 mm.; width 2.6 mm. 

 Texas. 



To be known easily by the slender parallel form and short, 

 decumbent, well separated hairs and virtual absence of erect hairs; 

 the antennal spines are smaller, the pronotal punctures coarser 

 and more confluent and the abdomen laterally much less densely 

 punctulate and pubescent than in subpubescens, the abdomen being 

 very uniformly, finely, sparsely punctate and pubescent throughout. 



Aneflomorpha longipennis n. sp. Form and coloration nearly as in 

 the preceding but with relatively longer elytra and shorter anterior 

 parts, also slightly greater 'convexity; head and prothorax very densely, 

 confluently punctate throughout, the latter only very slightly longer than 

 wide, parallel, the sides becoming feebly arcuate medially, the pallid 

 hairs rather coarse, subdecumbent and well separated, very even through- 

 out; antennae (cT) not quite as long as the body, very slender, the outer 

 joints filiform, not compressed and unmodified, the spines of joints
