TRIBE XXI. CRYPTORHYNCHINI. 491 



7?. Punctures of thoracic flanks strong and unevenly dis- 

 tributed over the entire surface. 772. YEREA. 

 M). Punctures of the flanks entirely obsolete, except in the 

 subapical constriction. 773. PUTJCTATA. 



765 (8779). TYLODERMA FOVEOLATA Say, 1831, 19; ibid, I, 284. 



Oblong. Black, opaque, antennas and tarsi dark reddish-brown; surface 

 with small patches of dirty whitish hair-like scales on middle of vertex, be- 

 tween the eyes, and at. apex of thorax, a curved row each side of thorax 

 from before the middle to near the sides of base; elytra also with numerous 

 irregular spots on disc and a broad uneven band at apical fourth. Beak not 

 longer than head, broad, coarsely punctate; head more finely and sparsely 

 punctate, with a deep frontal groove. Thorax slightly wider than long, sides 

 strongly rounded, disc with very coarse, deep, uneven, rather close-set, 

 punctures, their intervals finely alutaceous. Elytra at base not wider than 

 thorax at middle; sides parallel to apical third, thence rounded to tips; 

 disc with irregular rows of large, deep, uneven foveaa, becoming obsolete to- 

 ward apex. Length 3 5.8 mm. 



Common throughout Indiana on evening primrose; March 12 

 -Nov. 7. Hibernates beneath boards and rubbish. Throughout 

 New Jersey, May July. West Point, N. Y. Kanges from New 

 England to Michigan and Nebraska, south to Florida. Breeds 

 in the steins of the evening primrose, Onagra Mennis L., and the 

 willow herb, EpiloMuiu. Varies much in size, (a specimen in 

 hand being scarcely 3 mm. in length), and in sculpture, the punc- 

 tures of elytra being sometimes in regular rows, again very un- 

 evenly distributed. 



766 ( ). TYLODERMA MACULATA sp. nov. 



Elongate-oval, robust. Dark reddish-brown; head and thorax thinly 

 clothed with prostrate hair-like scales; elytra rather thickly maculate 

 with similar condensed scales as described in key; antennse and tarsi pale 

 reddish-brown. Beak nearly as long as head and thorax, carinate, finely 

 striate, coarsely and densely punctate. Head finely and rather closely 

 punctate and with a small, round, deep fovea between the eyes. Thorax 

 scarcely wider than long, sides broadly rounded, feebly narrowed in front, 

 disc densely, coarsely and evenly punctate. Elytra oval, one-fourth wider 

 at base than thorax, humeri rounded, sides feebly converging from base to 

 behind middle, then more rapidly to the obtuse apex; strise with regular 

 rows of rather fine rounded punctures; intervals feebly convex. Under 

 surface and legs rather finely and sparsely punctate, each puncture bearing 

 a fine grayish prostrate hair. Length 4.5 mm. (W. 8. B.) 



Little River, Florida, rare; March 17. The maculate elytra 

 and deep frontal fovea easily distinguish this from all other de- 

 scribed species. The sculpture of thorax is quite similar to 

 though coarser than that of fr(if/<iria\ but the elytra are of very 

 different shape.
