 with short, grayish hairs which form paler spots on elytra. Beak strongly 

 curved, half the length of elytra, very slender, cylindrical, striate and 

 coarsely punctured. Thorax three-fourths wider than long, sides rounded, 

 suddenly narrowed near tip; disc with deep, rather sparse punctures, dis- 

 tinctly coarser than in mitcidiis. Elytra at base one-fourth wider than

 distinctly punctate. Length 4.5 5 mm.

(- -). DORYTOMUS FBOSTII Sp. 11OV.* 



Oblong-oval. Uniform reddish-brown, except the meso- and metasterna 

 which are black; above very sparsely, beneath more closely clothed with 

 long, fine, prostrate white hairs. Beak of female as long as head and tho- 

 rax, carinate, finely and sparsely punctate, antennae inserted at apical two- 

 fifths. Head finely, not densely punctate; frontal fovea small, deep. Tho- 

 rax two-thirds wider than long, widest behind middle, sides straight, diverg- 

 ing on basal third, then rounded and constricted near apex; disc finely, 

 densely and evenly punctate without trace of median smooth line. Elytra 

 three times longer than thorax and at base one-third wider than middle of 

 latter, sides feebly diverging from base to behind middle, then broadly 

 rounded to apex; disc with rows of rather fine, deep, close-set punctures; 

 intervals flat, minutely and confusedly punctate. Length 5 mm. (W. S. B.) 



Described from a single female taken Oct. 5 by C. A. Frost, 

 at Framingham, Mass., and now in his collection. Close to D. 

 aiii]>1<i Casey, described from Colorado, but Col. Casey, who lias 

 compared it with his type, writes that frostii has a more shining 

 and more closely punctate thorax, without median smooth line 

 as in <nni>l<i. and shorter, more posteriorly inflated elytra. Named 

 in honor of the collector who has furnished us much data regard- 

 ing the weevils of New England.
