and less diminishing posteriorly, being still rather large apically; 

 apices nearly as in incertus; fifth ventral broadly truncate, rather 

 shorter than the fourth. Length (cT) 8.5 mm.; width 2.4 mm. 

 Indiana, Levette brevicornis n. sp. 



4 Form moderately slender, the third antennal joint always very much 

 longer than the fourth 5 



Form very slender and more linear or parallel, the third antennal joint 

 but very slightly longer than the fourth; elytral apices as in villosns 

 throughout 7 



5 Elytra each transversely truncate at tip, the truncature limited by two 

 equal straight slender spines. Body rather shining, piceous, the 

 elytra, legs, antennae and under surface paler; head very closely, 

 strongly punctured; antenna? (9 ) not quite as long as the body, very 

 slender, sparsely pubescent, the spines small, rather flattened dis- 

 tally and with the internal, densely punctate opaque areas conspic- 

 uous; prothorax cylindric, rather longer than wide, the parallel 

 sides feebly, subevenly arcuate throughout; surface very coarsely, 

 deeply and closely but not confluently punctured throughout, with- 

 out even a median smooth spot and with rather coarse, short, pale 

 and decumbent hairs and a few spots of dense yellowish pubescence, 

 of which one at each side just before the middle is especially dense 

 and well defined; scutellum well developed, densely pubescent, 

 semicircular as usual; elytra three times as long as wide, parallel, 

 straight at the sides, dehiscent at apex, fully one-half wider than 

 the prothorax, with sparsely scattered, irregular and dense pubes- 

 cence but without erect hairs; punctures rather sparse, not very 

 coarse, about half the diameter of the pronotal punctures basally, 

 becoming fine and feebly asperulate distally; under surface finely, 

 sparsely punctate, the prosternum coarsely and densely. Length 

 (9) 15.0 mm.; width 3.4 mm. Levette Cabinet, unlabeled. 



abruptus n. sp. 



Elytra each with a small deep apical sinus, which is limited internally by a 

 small fine sutural spicule and externally by a longer, though moderate, 

 more or less incurvate spine or tooth 6 



6 Prothorax (cf , 9 ) about as long as wide, more or less feebly rounded 

 at the sides. Pronotum (cf) very finely, densely punctate through- 

 out and dull, or ( 9 ) with coarse, deep, clearly defined and very 

 close or crowded punctures and with the sides minutely subprominent 

 at the middle, the pubescence tending to form two narrow ragged 

 vittae; scutellum well developed; antenna? only moderately slender 

 basally, with small spines, distinctly longer (cf 1 ) or shorter (9 ) than 

 the body; elytra tapering slightly, rounding apically at the sides to 

 the apex of the lateral spines, coarsely, rather closely punctate 

 basally, finely but not asperulately toward apex; pale hairs rather 

 long, decumbent, somewhat sparse, the condensed clusters small, 

 irregularly scattered and not well defined. Length 14.5 mm.; 

 width 3.2 mm. Atlantic states to Iowa and Texas, .villosus Fabr. 

 A Similar to villosus but paler in coloration, dark testaceous, more 

 shining but with the elytra distinctly tapering from base to apex 

 and the antennae more slender though otherwise nearly similar;
