TRIBE XII. ANTHONOMINI. 291 



City in June on huckleberry blossoms. Ranges from Quebec and 



New York to Iowa, south to Kentucky and Maryland. Lives in 



the buds of Cratwgus crus-galli L., developing within the fruit, 



the imago appearing in July, (ticlrwarz. ) Easily known by the 



deep median groove of pygidium, size, color and deep elytral 



striae 



418-a (10,982). AXTHOXOMUS PROFUNDUS VULPINUS Dietz, 1891, 201. 



Smaller and paler. First and second joint of funicle relatively shorter, 

 the second scarcely half the length of the first. Thorax shorter, less than 

 one-half wider than long, sides more rounded, disc less rugosely punctate. 

 Elytral intervals less convex. Length 2.7 mm. 



Described from Pennsylvania. Fall (1913, 46) considers it 

 the same as profundus, but the types at Cambridge show differ- 

 ences sufficient to justify at least a varietal name. 



419 (8639). ANTHONOMUS RUBIOUS Lee., 1876, 199. 



Oblong-oval. Brownish-yellow, rather densely clothed with yellowish 

 pubescence, condensed on median line of thorax and scutellum, intermixed 

 on elytra with fine blackish hairs; apical half of antenna?, suture and 

 region of scutellum dusky; under surface piceous. Thorax one-third 

 wider than long, sides rounded from the base, feebly constricted near apex; 

 disc densely and finely punctured. Elytra oblong, at base one-fourth wider 

 than thorax; stria? deep, punctured; intervals convex, finely punctate. 

 Front femora with two teeth. Length 2.2 2.5 mm. 



Described from Pennsylvania. Recorded also from Ontario, 

 Deer Park, Md., and District of Columbia. Easily known 'by its 

 pale color, small size, very convex eyes and the additional tooth 



of front thighs. 



SUBGENUS IV. (Leptarthrus.) 



Antenna? slender, funicle 7-jointed, first and second joints 

 longer; club greatly elongated, very loosely jointed (Fig. 78, f) ; 

 pygidium exposed in both sexes; front legs longer and stouter 

 than the others; femora strongly toothed. (Fig. 79, j.) Two 

 species are known.

 act. Smaller, not over 3.5 mm.; front tibia? toothed on inner side (Fig.

420 (10,980). ANTHONOMUS JUMCHI Dietz, 1891,.198. 



Subovate, robust. Reddish-brown, clothed with pale yellowish pubes- 

 cence, fine and sparse on the elytra, much coarser and denser on the 

 thorax and front femora; scutellum and two basal spots on elytra more 

 densely pubescent. Thorax nearly twice as wide as long, strongly nar- 

 rowed in front; base deeply bisinuate, sides strongly rounded, apex scarce- 

 ly constricted, disc coarsely and rather densely punctured. Elytra broadly 

 oval, very convex, slightly wider at base than thorax; stria? fine, their punc-
