SUBFAMILY IX. OTIORHYXCHIN.E. 



coarsely and rather sparsely punctate. Elytra feebly striate, marked with 

 rows of rather large, somewhat distant punctures; intervals slightly convex, 

 each with a single row of minute curved whitish bristles. Under surface 

 and legs sparsely scaly. Length 2.7 3.5 mm. 



Southern third of Indiana, frequent; April 13 July 7. 

 Beaten from oak and ash; taken by sweeping and from beneath 

 the bark of beech. A member of the Austroriparian fauna, known 

 from Cincinnati, Ohio, west and soutlnvest to Iowa, Missouri and 

 Texas. One specimen in the Liljeblad collection labelled, per- 

 haps erroneously, ''Pawpaw Lake, Mich., July 20." Probably 

 hibernates as imago. No record of its feeding 1 habits <-an be found. 

 A compact and handsome little species; the disc of thorax often 

 largely fuscous with sides and median line paler. 



XXXII. EUDIAGOGUS Schonh., 1840. ( Gr., "pleasing.") 



Beak as long as head, stout, tip feebly notched, antennal 

 grooves narrow, deep, passing just beneath the lower border of 

 <yes, the latter oval, pointed beneath; scape reaching middle of 

 eye; first joint of fnnicle slightly longer than the others, 2 7 

 gradually shorter; second ventral as long as the two following 

 united, its front suture broadly curved. Two species are known 

 from the South Atlantic states. 



KEY TO SPECIES OF EUDIAGOGUS. 



a. Scutellum twice as wide as long; thorax with four discal black spaces, 

 the two basal ones smaller; black stripes of elytra regular.

aa. Scutellum smaller, oval; thorax with two broad, black, narrowly sep- 

 arated discal stripes; black stripes of elytra with irregular margins.

176 (8340). EUDIAGOGUS PULCHER Fahr., Schn., 1840, 310. 



Elongate-oblong. Black, densely clothed with black and bright cupreous 

 or greenish scales, the latter forming a narrow 

 median and two wider lateral stripes and a post-me- 

 dian cross-bar on thorax, and a marginal disca! 

 and common sutural stripe on elytra, the two 

 former often connected at middle; sides of under 

 surface also cupreous or greenish. Beak with a 

 deep median sulcus, densely and finely punctate. 

 Thorax broader at middle than long, sides strongly 

 curved in front, gradually narrowing to base, disc 

 with scattered, rather coarse punctures. Elytra 

 oblong, wider at base than thorax, humeri oblique, 

 sides parallel for three-fourths of their length, 

 then converging to a rounded apex; disc feebly 

 striate, strise with rows of small distant punctures; 

 intervals flat. Length 5 8 mm. (Fig. 52.)
