146 MEMOIRS ON THE COLEOPTERA. 



not repeated elsewhere, so far as is apparent. The coxae are dis- 

 tinctly separated, and not contiguous as in the two preceding groups, 

 the metasternal projection narrow, long and very acute; the meso- 

 sternal process is gradually narrowed to a very acute but not acicu- 

 late apex near apical fifth of the coxae and with its apex overlapping 

 the apex of the metasternal projection, an exceptional character. 

 The hind tarsi are lacking in the unique type, but the strongly 

 inflexed and laterally invisible hypomera, entire and strong cephalic 

 carinae, stout antennas, well developed elytra and scheme of colora- 

 tion are as in the preceding group. 



Dolosota (Aremia) reclusa n. sp. Oblong, somewhat depressed, moder- 

 ately shining, the micro-reticulation fine and strong, very feeble on the ab- 

 domen, the punctures fine, close and asperate, strongly so on the elytra, 

 feeble on the abdomen; body pale ochreo-testaceous, very uniformly through- 

 out, the head not evidently darker, rather flat above, about as long as wide, 

 the eyes moderate, not very convex and at two-thirds their length from the 

 base, the tempora parallel and similarly prominent; antennae pale ochreo- 

 flavate throughout, rather short, rapidly very strongly incrassate distally, 

 the basal joint not twice as long as wide and barely as long as the elongate 

 second joint but thicker, somewhat compressed, with its upper margin angu- 

 late beyond the middle, the third much shorter and narrower than the second, 

 the outer joints loose and very strongly transverse, the last obtuse and as 

 long as the two preceding; prothorax short and strongly transverse, much 

 rounded at the sides but only slightly narrower at apex, much wider than 

 the head and as wide as the elytra, very obsoletely and transversely impressed 

 at base; elytra subparallel, large, nearly as long as wide, the outer sinuses 

 at apex very moderate, the .suture fully two-thirds longer than the prothorax; 

 abdomen at base nearly as wide as the elytra, the sides very feebly converging 

 and nearly straight thence to the apex. Length 1.28 mm.; width 0.38 mm. 

 New York (Catskill Mts.). 



This singular species has much the aspect of a Bolitocharid, but 

 the long and slender middle tarsi are clearly 5-jointed. 



Reania n. subgen. 



The sterna are abnormal also in this very restricted group, the 

 middle coxae being unusually widely separated, with the processes 

 between them both broad and very obtuse and apparently but very 

 briefly separated. The body is rather broadly fusoid and with the 

 head and coloration both peculiar, the type is the following: 



Dolosota (Reania) fontinalis n. sp. Fusoid, rather convex, strongly 

 shining, the punctures fine, not apserate, generally sparse but closer on the 

 elytra as usual; color pale flavo-testaceous, the head piceous, the elytra
