feebly reflexed, the apices obliquely sinuate, the tips angulate, the 

 angle right and sharply denned; legs long, very slender, the hind 

 tarsi about as long as the tibiae, the anterior ( 9 ) very slender, not 

 grooved dorsally. Length (9) 9-3 mm.; width 2.8 mm. New 



Mexico (Las Vegas), Meeske longipes n. sp. 



Head much narrower than the prothorax 9 



9 Body, legs and antennae pale brownish-testaceous throughout, shining, 

 the elytra feebly alutaceous; head elongate, rhomboidal, four-fifths 

 as wide as the prothorax, the eyes well developed; antennae very 

 long, slender and filiform, the second joint relatively much longer 

 than in the preceding and distinctly more than half as long as the 

 third, which is a third longer than the fourth; prothorax a little 

 more than a fourth longer than wide, widest near apical third, the 

 sides rounded, gradually converging posteriorly and becoming 

 evidently though feebly sinuate for a considerable distance before the 

 angles, which are slightly obtuse but very sharp and well defined; 

 base only three-sevenths the maximum width and barely three-fifths 

 as wide as the apex, which is broadly and evenly sinuate between the 

 broadly obtuse and rounded angles ; surface nearly as in the preceding 

 but less impressed at the sides basally, less strongly reflexed at the 

 sides and with a more deeply impressed median stria; elytra more 

 elongate, evenly oval, widest at the middle, almost twice as long as 

 wide and about twice as wide as the prothorax, the surface similar 

 but more broadly concave and strongly reflexed at the sides, the 

 apices a little less obliquely sinuate and the angulate tips rather 

 more obtuse; legs long and very slender, the hind tarsi not quite as 

 long as the tibiae, the anterior ( 9 ) with the long first joint feebly 

 bistriate dorsally. Length (9) 9-7 mm.; width 3.0 mm. New 



Mexico (Jemez Springs), Woodgate anthicoides n. sp. 



Body, legs and antennae pale rufo-testaceous, shining, the elytra opaque 

 and with a large blackish cloud occupying the entire area except 

 laterally and more broadly toward base; head moderately elongate, 

 three-fourths as wide as the prothorax, the eyes moderate, shorter 

 than the oblique sides behind them; antennae shorter than in the 

 two preceding, though fully half as long as the body, slender basally, 

 gradually thickened distally, the third joint nearly one-half longer 

 than the fourth; prothorax about a fifth longer than wide, the sides 

 anteriorly subparallel and feebly arcuate, rounding more apically, 

 gradually converging in about basal half, becoming very broadly 

 and feebly sinuate and oblique posteriorly, the angles obtuse and 

 well rounded; base transverse, the sides rounded and slightly more 

 posteriorly projecting, nearly three-fifths the maximum width and 

 four-fifths as wide as the apex, which is evenly and feebly sinuate 

 between the obtuse and moderately rounded angles; surface feebly 

 convex, impunctate, feebly impressed not very near each side behind 

 the middle, only a little more so basally, the side margins abruptly 

 but not strongly reflexed; elytra two-thirds longer than wide, twice 

 as wide as the prothorax, slightly more inflated posteriorly, nearly 

 flat, rather broadly and strongly reflexed at the sides posteriorly but 

 gradually and only finely so basally, very finely and feebly striate,
