TRIBE XX. CEUTORIIYXCHINI. 447 



Lakes, which will account for the wide distribution of the insect. 

 It will doubtless be found to be a submaritinie form occurring 

 only along the shores of the sea and larger lakes. Since the next 

 species also occurs nearly across the continent and has been 

 recorded many times under the name pusio, it is impossible to 

 give the accurate distribution of either. 



690 ( ). CEUTORHYNCHUS NEGLECTUS sp. nov. 



Short-oval, convex. Piceous; antennae, legs, apical margin of thorax 

 and usually the greater part of elytra dull reddish; above thinly clothed with 

 fine brownish pubescence, with spots and lines of larger oval whitish scales, 

 the latter condensed on sides of thorax and in a large faint scutellar spot 

 on elytra; beneath densely clothed with small pale scales. Head densely 

 punctate, the front broadly depressed; beak as long as thorax, male, as 

 head and thorax, female, feebly curved, naked, shining, finely punctured. 

 Thorax one-third wider than long, strongly constricted near apex, postocu- 

 lar lobes small or wanting; front margin with two small, remote cusps; 

 disc densely and finely punctured, lateral tubercles rather large, acute, 

 dorsal channel distinct only at base and apex. Elytra scarcely longer 

 than wide, one-fourth wider at base than thorax, sides broadly rounded 

 from base to middle, then strongly converging to apex; stria? fine, rather 

 deep, closely punctured; intervals wider, slightly convex, transversely 

 rugose. Last ventral of male with a small round deep fovea; of female 

 with a more shallow rounded one. Length 1.8 2.2 mm. (W. 8. B.) 



Frequent throughout Indiana; May 6 June 23; beaten from 

 red-bud, Cercis canadcnsis L., and taken by sweeping. Chester 

 and Hemlock Falls, N. J. Batavia, N. Y. ; June 1 July 12. Re- 

 corded under the name pusio from New England to Colorado, 

 Oregon and British Columbia south to District of Columbia and 

 Missouri, though some of these records doubtless refer to the true 

 pusio. The elytra are often, with the exception of a triangular 

 basal area, wholly dull reddish. This is the C. pusio of Dietz 

 (nee Mann, and Lee.) It is shorter, more oval and more convex 

 than pusio, with the elytra more strongly rounded, the tubercles 

 of thorax more distinct and ventral fovea of male smaller, deeper 

 and more sharply defined. The food plant is probably Polyg- 

 ons m. 



691 (8846). CEUTORHYNCHUS SQUAMATUS Lee., 1876, 277. 



Oval, robust, subdepressed. Uniform dark reddish-brown, apical mar- 

 gin of thorax, antennae and legs paler; above finely pubescent; thorax with 

 the sides and a median basal spot, and elytra with a large scutellar spot, an 

 interrupted postmedian band and an oblong subapical sutural spot of large 

 oval whitish scales; under surface thickly clothed with similar scales. 

 Beak long, slender, much curved, finely punctured and striate near base, 

 shining towards tip. Thorax one-half wider than long, strongly narrowed
