44 ( ). RHIXOJIACER PALLIPENNIS sp. nov. 



Elongate, slender, subparallel. Head, thorax and under surface black- 

 ish, feebly bronzed; elytra, legs and apical third of beak pale brownish- 

 yellow; antennas reddish-brown. Pubescence whitish, shorter, much finer 

 and less dense than in elongatus. Beak rather stout, shorter than thorax, 

 striate, coarsely and roughly punctate. Head coarsely and densely punc- 

 tate. Thorax subquadrate, slightly narrowed in front, sides almost straight, 

 slightly incurved near base; punctures of disc finer, less dense and more 

 oval than those of elongatus. Elytra one-third wider at base and two and 

 a half times longer than thorax, sides parallel to apical fifth, then round- 

 ed to apex, disc coarsely and rather densely punctate. Beneath finely, 

 closely and shallowly punctate. Length 3.2 3.5mm. (W. S. B.) 



Mt. Washington, New Hampshire, July 7; Massachusetts and 

 Canada, LeConte Coll. ; New Jersey and Pennsylvania, Leng Coll. 

 Mixed in cabinets with clongulus, with which it was confused by 

 LeConte. At Cambridge two specimens of paUi/iciniis are set 

 by the side of his types of elongatus. all without locality labels. 

 In another place were two specimens bearing the labels ''Mass." 

 and "Can." It was probably of the latter that he wrote, after his 

 description of elongatus: "One female from Canada with pale 

 brown elytra 'has the form and sculpture of the other four ex- 

 cept that the thorax is scarcely at all rounded on the sides and 

 is less densely punctured, and the elytra are still more elon- 

 gated." From elongatuN, i>ullijH'iiniN is easily separated by the 

 characters given in key, as well as by the liner and paler pubes- 

 cence, shorter and more slender form, and more distinct fovea 

 of fifth ventral of male.
