TRIBE VII. ERIRHINIXI. 



331 ( ). BAGOUS ATRATUS sp. nov. 



Oblong, robust. Black, densely clothed with dull black scales; elytra 

 with a grayish-white cross-bar crossing the suture between the third in- 

 tervals at upper edge of declivity; antennae, except the club, and legs dull 

 red; under surface with dirty gray ocellate scales. Beak stout, shorter 

 than thorax, finely cariuate; front with a small fovea. Thorax one-third 

 wider than long, strongly constricted near apex, sides broadly rounded, 

 disc finely granulate and with a distinct median channel. Elytra broad, 

 depressed; at base one-third wider than thorax; humeri rounded, sides 

 straight to apical fifth then strongly converging and compressed to apex; 

 intervals convex, the third distinctly more so, all with a row of short in- 

 clined yellowish setae, more evident on the sides and declivity. Length 

 3 mm. (W. S. B.) 



Vigo County, Indiana, May 15. Resembles nmmniillntiifs but 

 with only a small single tubercle on declivity, thorax wider than 

 long, beak more slender, scaly, third tarsal joint not broader nor 

 emarginate. 



332 ( ). BAGOUS PURITANUS sp. nov. 



Elongate, slender, subcylindrical. Black, densely clothed with dark 

 gray scales; a stripe each side of thorax, a spot on humeri and a narrow 

 crossbar between the third intervals of elytra at declivity of whitish ones; 

 antennae, except club, tip of beak, tibiae and tarsi pale reddish-brown. 

 Beak much shorter than thorax, slender, curved; front not foveate. Thorax 

 as wide as long, sides feebly curved, constricted near apex; disc densely 

 and finely granulate. Elytra one-third wider at base than thorax, sides 

 straight to the declivity, then strongly converging to apex; third interval 

 slightly more convex than the others, tubercle of the fifth very faint. 

 Length 2.5 mm, (W. B. B.)

333 (8593). BAGOUS RESTBICTUS Lee., 1876, 187. 



Oblong-oval. Black, covered with dirt-colored scales; elytra each 

 with a small transverse white spot on second and third intervals at about 

 two-thirds the length; antennae, tibiae and tarsi reddish-brown. Beak 

 nearly as long as thorax, subcarinate. Thorax as wide as long, slightly 

 wider from the base forwards; sides straight for three-fourths their 

 length, then rounded and suddenly constricted, more strongly than in 

 most other species; disc coarsely granulate. Elytra oval, humeri oblique, 

 obtusely angulated; sides converging to the declivity; apex very narrow; 

 strife deep; intervals convex, the fifth ending in a small conical tubercle 

 covered with white scales. Length 2.5 mm.
