the "Middle and Western States." Dietz gives its range as 

 Eastern, Middle and Southern States. Recorded heretofore defi- 

 nitely only from New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Michigan and Dis- 

 trict of Columbia, usually as rare; probably a member of the 

 Alleghenian fauna. Taken by Dietz on apple trees in August. 



676 ( ). ACALLODES LYSIMACHI.E Fall, 1913, 67. 



Closely allied to ventricosus. Reddish to dark brown, the elytral bands 

 of narrow whitish scales made up of elongate spots on the intervals, but 

 not more advanced on the alternate intervals as in ventricosus. Elytra 

 shorter, more convex, not perceptibly longer than wide; humeri more nar- 

 row. Femora more feebly toothed. Length 2.5 3 mm. 



Sherborn, Mass. ; May 16. Described from Tyngsboro, Mass., 

 where it occurs abundantly in September on the bulb-bearing 

 loose-strife, Li/siuiacJiin tcrrcMris L. 



677 ( ). ACALLOUES SALTOIDES Dietz, 1896, 416. 



Broader and more convex than ventricosus. Ground color as there, 

 the white markings of elytra very faint. Thorax two-thirds wider than 

 long, two-fifths wider at base than apex, dorsal channel less distinct, disc 

 much more finely punctured. Elytra wider at middle than long, humeri 

 absent, sides strongly rounded; striae deep, almost as wide as the intervals. 

 Under surface and pygidium very coarsely punctate. Length 2.8 3.3 mm. 



Described from Minnesota. Known also from Plummer's Is- 

 land, Md., ("larksville, Tenn., and Iowa. 



IX. CCELIODES Schon., 1837. (Or., "swollen.") 



Dietz, in his "Revision of the Ceutorhynchini," so split up 

 and dismembered this genus that it contained as he left it but 

 two known North American species. They are oval robust forms 

 having the beak slender, curved, longer than thorax; eyes wholly 

 concealed in repose; elytra wider at base than thorax, not 

 widened behind the middle; pectoral groove limited behind by 

 the metasternum ; second ventral longer at middle than the next 

 two united, third not narrowed at the ends and reaching the 

 side margin of abdomen ; femora toothed beneath.
