TRIBE XX. CEUTORHYNCHINI. 435

 chusetts. Closely resembles Cni/tonius iuwqiialis bnt differs in 

 generic characters. Our only eastern species having 6-jointed 

 funicle. 



671 (8831).AuLEUTES CBURALIS Lee., 1876, 270. 



Oval, robust. Dark, piceous, above mottled with small white scales; 

 which on the elytra form a cruciform scutellar mark, two or three distinct 

 spots arranged in an oblique -line just behind the middle and scattered 

 spots near apex; suture rarely wholly white; under side sparsely scaly. 

 Beak as long as thorax, rather slender, curved, cylindrical, bistriate, punc- 

 tured; entirely scaly, male; bare toward apex, female. Thorax one-half wider 

 than long, rounded on the sides, broadly and rather strongly constricted 

 near apex, closely and coarsely punctate; median channel entire, broad, 

 not deep, lateral tubercles acute. Elytra one-fourth wider at base than 

 thorax longer than wide, sides nearly straight, converging behind middle; 

 intervals convex, wider than the striae, the latter with small, close-set 

 punctures. Length 2.2 2.25 mm. 



Springfield, Framingham and Tyngsboro, Mass., July 7 16; 

 Paris, Maine, July 7. Recorded also from Orange Mts. and Hud- 

 son Co., N. J., in swamps. Ranges from Anticosti Island, New- 

 foundland and Lake Superior to Utah, south to Pennsylvania 

 and Texas. Placed by Dietz as a synonym of the European 

 species A. epilolnl Payk, but comparison with undoubted speci- 

 mens of the latter in the Leng and U. S. National Museum col- 

 lections show epiloMi to be a much larger and more convex 

 species, with broader and less constricted thorax and with the 

 white markings of the elytra much less distinct. 



672 (8832). AULEUTES NEBULOSUS Lee., 1876, 271. 



Broadly oval. Dark brown or piceous, thinly clothed with fine brownish 

 scales with a distinct coppery lustre, and mottled with spots of larger whit- 

 ish-scales, which form on the elytra a faint post-scutellar spot, an interrupted 

 curved median cross-bar and some irregular spots on apical third; antennae, 

 tibia? and tarsi pale reddish-brown; under side closely and rather coarsely 

 punctate, each puncture bearing a small, oval scale. Beak longer than tho- 

 rax, finely striate and punctate, smooth toward tip in female. Thorax one- 

 half wider than long, strongly narrowed in front, its apex emarginate with 

 an acute cusp each side, lateral tubercles distinct, surface densely and 

 coarsely punctured. Elytra two-fifths wider at base than thorax, striae 

 narrow, marked with close-set punctures; intervals wider than striae, 

 feebly convex, finely granulate toward apex. Length 2 2.2 mm.
