366 SUBFAMILY X. CURCULIONIN.E. 



there extends a fine, deep, curved groove, the two converging and 

 enclosing a flat, triangular impunctate space. This genus re- 

 sembles the next two in the remote front coxae. 



555 (8900). GLYPTOBARIS RUGICOLLIS Lee., 1876, 297. 



Oblong-oval, convex. Dark reddish-brown, shining; above thinly 

 clothed with large elongate yellowish scales, arranged on the elytra in a 

 cross-band at base and another behind middle, the two connected by a 

 stripe of scales each side of suture. Beak rather slender, longer than 

 thorax, strongly curved, tapering toward tip, coarsely punctured on sides, 

 more finely above. Thorax one-fourth wider than long, sides broadly 

 rounded in front, subparallel near base; disc deeply and coarsely rugose 

 and usually with a narrow, elevated median smooth line. Elytra slightly 

 wider at base than thorax, distinctly narrowed from base to apex; striae 

 deep, remotely crenulate; intervals flat, each with a row of rather large, 

 distant punctures. Length 3.6 4.3 mm. 



Southern half of Indiana, frequent; not taken north of Ma- 

 rion Co.; May 12 Sept. 19. Dunellen and Atco, N. J., on milk- 

 weed. Occurs in marshy meadows. Ranges from New Jersey 

 and Pennsylvania to Illinois, south to South Carolina. Champion 

 apparently without valid reason, has changed the name rugicol- 

 lis to lecontei. 



V. OxYrnoBARis Lee., 1876. (Gr., u claw" -f- Baris.) 



Oval, robust, usually densely punctured species having the 

 second joint of funicle not longer than third, club oval ; beak 

 longer and more slender than in Burix, strongly curved; proster- 

 num long, nearly flat, widely separating the front coxa? and with 

 iwo deep fovea? behind the front margin. Casey recognized 22 

 species, mostly from the dry regions of Arizona and New Mexico, 

 only one extending into our fauna. 



556 (8896) ONYCIIOBARIS PECTOKOSA Lee., 1876, 295. 



Oval, convex, narrowed behind. Black, shining, nearly glabrous 

 above; antennae and legs piceous. Beak thickened toward base, as long 

 as thorax, finely and sparsely punctate. Thorax strongly convex, one- 

 half wider than long, sides feebly converging from base to beyond middle 

 then rounded and narrowed to tip: disc finely and rather densely punc- 

 tate, more closely and continently so at sides, and with a very narrow 

 smooth median line. Elytra but one-fourth longer than wide, at base bur 

 slightly wider than thorax, sides distinctly converging from base to the 

 rather narrowly rounded apex; stria; deep; alternate intervals slightly 

 wider, their punctures slightly confused, the others with single rows of 

 large, close-set, shallow punctures. Length 3.8 4 mm. 



Guiliord, Conn., Aug. 24. St. Louis, Mo. Described from 

 Texas. The eastern specimens are more finely sculptured than 

 those from the southwest.
