178 MEMOIRS ON THE COLEOPTERA 



markedly; it is quite possible that this may be the original cingulata 

 of LeConte, and I will therefore leave it undefined for the present; 

 the abdomen is finely, closely punctulate and subalutaceous and 

 the head well developed and truncate at base, thus placing it in a 

 different group from the one described by me as cingulata (Tr. 

 Acad. St. Louis, XVI, p. 243). The following is allied closely to 

 cingulata Lee. (Csy.) : 



Lorinota sinuosa n. sp. Moderately stout, shining and convex, pale and 

 almost uniform brown throughout, the abdomen darker behind the second 

 tergite, the first two more flavate, the elytra not noticeably paler at the 

 apex and humeri ; legs very long, pale brown ; head rather small, scarcely at 

 all wider than the prothorax, circularly rounded behind the eyes, which 

 are rather small and prominent; antennae long, becoming gradually and 

 notably heavy distally, pale brown in color, the first three joints very 

 long, the second and third equal, fourth twice as long as wide, the fifth 

 but little shorter, tenth rather longer than wide, the last as long as the 

 two preceding; prothorax slightly longer than wide, convex, widest 

 and with rather prominently rounded sides near apical third, the sides 

 thence converging posteriorly, becoming notably sinuate near the basal 

 angles, the sulcus entire, deep, its slopes sparsely granulose ; elytra slightly 

 wider than long, parallel, the sides arcuate except basally, the humeri 

 broadly exposed, three-fourths wider and a fourth longer than the pro- 

 thorax, the surface basally and the scutellum granose, the latter not at 

 all carinate medially ; abdomen parallel, with arcuate sides, much narrower 

 than the elytra, the first tergite finely, sparsely punctate, the large basal 

 impression coarsely, very closely and confluently punctate. Length 

 2.3 mm.; width 0.55 mm. Wisconsin (Bayfield), Wickham. 



The type was included with the material described as cingulata 

 Lee., in my revision alluded to above; but it evidently differs from 

 that species, as represented alone by Pennsylvania specimens, 

 the Iowa forms, originally included through inadvertence, being 

 tenuicornis in the much heavier antennae distally, deeper sinua- 

 tion of the thoracic sides near the basal angles and denser and more 

 confluent punctures of the tergitic impressions. 



Falagria Mann. 



The scutellum in this genus has two sharply elevated parallel 

 carinse along the middle, distinguishing it from any other group 

 of the Falagriae. 



Falagria sterilis n. sp. Moderately slender, convex, highly polished 

 throughout, piceous-black, the elytra barely visibly rufescent, the legs 

 very dark brown; punctures everywhere very fine and rather sparse,
