534 SUBFAMILY XII. COSSONIN^J. 



VII. ALLOMIMUS Lee., 1876. (Gr., "different" -f Mi mus.) 



Very small, elongate-oval, coarsely sculptured species having 

 the beak stout, subcylindrical, narrower than head; eyes small, 

 rounded, convex, rather coarsely granulated ; scape short, 

 strongly clavate, reaching front margin of eye, first joint of 

 funicle a little larger and stouter, remaining joints short, closely 

 united, gradually but slightly broader; club large, oval, pointed, 

 pubescent; scutelluni distinct; front coxa? widely separated; 

 tibiae with a small spine at inner angle, the terminal hook long. 

 The genus is consolidated with Stenom,imus in the Biologia. 



836 (9032). ALLOMIMUS DUBIUS Horn, 1873, 442. 



Narrowly oval. Dark reddish-brown, shining, antennas and legs paler. 

 Beak two-thirds as long as thorax, slightly broader at tip, sparsely, at base 

 more coarsely, punctured. Thorax conical, slightly longer than wide at 

 base, sides feebly curved near base, then gradually converging to apex; 

 disc slightly convex, coarsely, deeply and densely punctate, often with a 

 narrow smooth line at middle. Elytra at base slightly wider than thorax, 

 sides straight to apical fourth, then obliquely narrowed to the slightly pro- 

 longed and obtusely rounded apex; striae very deep, coarsely serrately punc- 

 tured, the eighth united with the seventh behind the humeri; intervals 

 narrow, convex, finely, uniseriately punctate. Beneath coarsely punc- 

 tured. Length 2 2.8 mm. 



Crawford County, Ind., rare ; May 25 . Known also from Ohio, 

 Michigan, Illinois, Texas and Florida. Occurs beneath bark of 

 dead or decaying trees and that of the mustang grape vine. 



837 (9047). ALLOMIMUS CORTICALIS Boh., Schon., 1845, 284. 



Smaller and more slender than dubius. Color as there. Thorax more 

 narrow, its sides converging from base; disc with punctures finer, much 

 less dense and with a faint impressed line instead of a smooth raised one 

 at middle. Elytral striae less deep, their punctures finer, less serrate. 

 Length 1.8 2 mm. 



Crescent City, Fla. Described from "Carolina." Very close 

 to dii~bius and if it proves to be the same, Boheman's name will 

 have priority. 



VIII. STENOMIMUS WolL, 1873. (Gr., "narrow" +Mimus.) 



Very small, slender pale species having the beak cylindrical, 

 feebly curved, one-half as long as thorax ; antennae inserted at 

 middle of beak, scape barely reaching the eyes which are rather 

 large, convex, coarsely granulated ; front coxa? widely separated. 

 One species, the smallest of the subfamily, occurs with us.
