522 ( ). BARIS CARBONARJA sp. nov. 



Elongate-oval, robust. Black, feebly shining; antennae, tibiae and tarsi 

 piceous. Beak three-fourths as long as thorax, stout, curved, finely and 

 rather sparsely punctate. Thorax feebly convex, one-third wider than long, 

 sides sti'aight and subparallel from base to apical third, then strongly 

 rounded toward apex; disc finely and evenly punctate, the punctures 

 separated by nearly their own diameters. Elytra oval, scarcely wider than 

 and twice as long as thorax, sides almost parallel to apical third then 

 broadly curved to the separately rounded tips; stria? rather narrow, deep; 

 intervals each with a row of very fine punctures, those of the third and 

 fifth much confused. Under surface densely and rather finely punctate. 

 Prosternum rather deeply sulcate, the front coxae separated by less than 

 their own width. Length 5 mm. (W. 8. B.) 



Ottawa, < 1 anada, June 13; collected by Pro. Germain. A large, 

 somewhat flattened, intense black species, nnich more finely sculp- 

 tured than any other of the group.

Oblong-oval, robust, strongly convex. Black, shining, deeply sculp- 

 tured. Beak short, stout, curved, in female about two-thirds as long as 

 thorax, rather coarsely and sparsely punctate. Thorax slightly wider 

 than long, sides broadly rounded, suddenly narrowed and feebly con- 

 stricted near apex; disc coarsely and rather densely punctate, and often 

 with a short, median smooth line. Elytra about one-fifth wider and 

 slightly less than twice as long as thorax; striae wide, deep; intervals 

 narrow, coarsely, deeply and closely punctate, each puncture bearing a 

 very short, pale, recurved seta; second and third intervals wider, their 

 punctures confused. Length 4.5 6.2 mm. 



One specimen in Stein collection labelled "Indiana." Re- 

 corded from Illinois, Wisconsin, Montana, Kansas, Texas and 

 Arizona. Known by its large size and confused punctures of 

 second and third intervals. 



524 (11,084). BAKIS CAI.LIDA Casey, 1892, 481.

 coarse, elongate punctures. Thorax one-third wider than long, its punc- 

 tures very large, deep and densely placed. Elytral stria? coarse, deep, 

 finely punctate; intervals each with a row of coarse, close-set punctures, 

 the second and third much wider than the others with the punctures

Taken in various localities in Xew Jersey, May 23 July. 

 Staten Island, X. Y., Sept. 18. Known elsewhere only from
