252 SCBFAMILY X. <TIt(TLIOXIXJE. 



Elytra oblong-ovate, strongly convex, slightly wider behind middle than

Yaphank, L. I., July 13; various localities in Xew Jersey. 

 Ranges from New York and Pennsylvania to Ohio, Georgia and 

 Texas. Readily known by the sparse dual vestiture, coarse sculp- 

 ture and long, slender, feebly toothed femora. 



0. cora- Champ., a Mexican species, differing from scrobicollis in its 

 more abundant black and white erect seta? and in having the elytral rows of 

 large punctures distinctly impressed, has been reported from Terza, Miss, 

 by Harned.

Elongate, subcylindrical, less convex above than usual. Reddish-brown, 

 shining; elytra piceous-black in apical half or two-thirds, very sparsely 

 clothed with very short, recumbent white hairs. Head with a deep, oval 

 frontal fovea; eyes large, coarsely faceted. Thorax nearly one-half longer 

 than wide, sides feebly rounded; disc rather sparsely, coarsely and unevenly 

 punctate. Elytra elongate-oval, gradually wider to behind the middle; 

 disc with distinctly impressed rows of rather coarse, close-set punctures.

368 (10,969). OTIDOCEPHALVS CAVIROSTIUS Casey, 1892, 437. 



Black, polished; legs, beak and antennas piceo-rufous. Body almost 

 glabrous. Beak robust, but little more than half as long as thorax, strongly 

 though not densely punctate and with a large, deep excavation just behind 

 the middle in male. Thorax distinctly longer than wide, widest at two- 

 fifths from base; disc finely, evenly and rather closely punctate. Elytra 

 scarcely more than one-half longer than thorax, gradually widened and in- 

 flated to behind the middle, strongly convex; disc with rows of feebly 

 impressed rather close-set punctures. Length 1.9 mm. 



The unique male type is from southern Florida. Both it and 

 the next species are easily separated from all the others by the 

 unarmed femora and the dee}) median excavation of the beak in 

 the male.
