III. IIVI'ICKIXI. 177 



Lake, Kosciusko and Dubois counties, Indiana, scarce; May 

 11 June 25; taken by sifting and sweeping. Batavia, X. Y., May 

 :!() June 3. Ranges from Newfoundland and Quebec to Montana, 

 south to Kansas and Mississippi. 



Hyperodes macnlicollis Kirby, listed from several localities in our 

 territory, Is stated by Dietz to be a form of InnniUs having "the lateral 

 thoracic vittae obsolete in their anterior halves thereby giving the appear- 

 ance of three basal spots." H. vitticollis Kirby, larger (5 mm.) pubescence 

 darker and coarser, thorax wider with sides more rounded, and with 

 median and lateral pale stripes, and elytra with scattered spots of large 

 white scales, is also listed, probably erroneously, as Dietz gives its oc- 

 currence as Wyoming and Nebraska. 



235 (10,843). HYPERODES ANTI-IHAC-INTS Dietz, 1889, 51. 



Oblong. Black, front margin of thorax, antennas and tarsi reddish- 

 brown; elytra with a few irregular scattered spots of pale scales. Beak 

 about as long as thorax, stout, tricarinate, coarsely rugose-punctate, the 

 transverse basal impression deep and with a very distinct central fovea. 

 Thorax one-half wider than long, convex, sides feebly curved, apex and 

 base subequal; disc densely and very coarsely punctate, broadly con- 

 stricted near apex, median carina distinct, abbreviated at each end. 

 Elytra one-half wider than thorax at base, sides subparallel for two-thirds 

 their length, then rounded into the tips; strial punctures large, transverse, 

 close-set; intervals narrow, feebly convex, the third and fifth slightly 

 more elevated, setae very short. Under surface coarsely and rather 

 sparsely punctate; last ventral finely punctate and broadly impressed in 

 both sexes. Length 3.5 4 mm. 



Dunedin, Bassenger and Sarasota. Florida; Jan. 10 Dec. 23. 

 Quite common at Dunedin beneath boards along the margin of 

 ponds, mating March 24 31. Known only from Florida. The 

 black, shining surface, coarse elytral punctures and distinct 

 thoracic carina make it easily recognized. 



236 (8467). HYPERODES PORCELLUS Say, 1831, 11; ibid. I, 271. 



Oblong. Piceous black, shining; above rather sparsely clothed with 

 fine, prostrate, grayish-white hairs; sides of thorax with a stripe of dirty 

 white scales; elytra variegated with small spots of similar scales; antennae, 

 tibiae and tarsi reddish-brown; femora in part piceous. Beak slightly 

 shorter than thorax, tricarinate, densely rugose-punctate. Thorax sub- 

 quadrate, scarcely wider than long, sides almost straight; disc densely 

 and finely punctured, the median carina short, scarcely evident. Elytra 

 one-half wider than thorax at base; strial punctures large, transverse, 

 close-set; intervals feebly convex, scarcely wider than punctures. Under 

 surface densely and coarsely punctured, each puncture bearing a short, 

 scale-like hair, these especially evident on pro- and metasterna. Length 

 2.73 mm.
