long as head and thorax, finely and sparsely punctate. Antennae inserted 

 at apical third, the grooves directed against the lower margin of eye; 

 second joint of funicle twice as long as third, 3 5 subequal, rounded, 

 the fourth not smaller, sixth slightly larger. Thorax as long as wide at 

 basal third, sides broadly rounded from base to beyond middle, strongly 

 constricted near apex; disc convex, rather coarsely and densely punctured 

 behind the constriction, a row of larger rounded punctures in the groove, 

 in front of these the disc alutaceous, more finely and sparsely punctate. 

 Elytra oblong-oval, one-third wider at base than thorax; strife deep, their 

 punctures large, close-set; intervals convex, minutely and remotely punc- 

 tate. Abdomen shining, almost smooth. Length 2 mm. (W. S. B.) 



Fountain Co., Tnd., rare; May 28. A slender species, easily

"Oval. Of the same color and pubescence as valichis ; differs in having 

 the beak of male stouter and shorter, densely punctured and finely striate; 

 the second and third joints of funicle equal. Frontal sulcus long, deep and 

 linear. Thorax one-third wider than long, the median pubescent line nar- 

 row, entire or nearly so. Elytra gradually narrowed from base to apex, 

 the fourth, sixth and eighth intervals narrower than the ethers. Length 

 2.3 mm." (Dietz.)

 and in irregular spots on the elytra. Beak stout, scarcely wider at apex, 

 densely punctured, basal half carinate above, striate each side. Frontal 

 fovea small, round. Thorax broadly rounded on the sides, apex distinctly 

 constricted, disc densely and rather coarsely punctured. Elytra elongate; 

 strial punctures rather large, close-set; intervals convex, each with two 

 rows of minute punctures. Length 2.5 mm.
