:')T4 SUBFAMILY X. CURCULIONINJE. 



Described from New Smyrna, Fla. Recorded elsewhere only 

 from D. C., but this record is erroneous as stated above. 



569 (8890). PSEUDOBARIS ANGUSTA Lee., 1868, 363. 



Narrowly oval or subcylindrical. Deep black, shining. Tborax about 

 as long as wide, sides parallel from base to beyond middle, broadly con- 

 stricted near apex; disc rather coarsely, densely punctate, without median 

 smooth line. Elytral strias fine, very deep; intervals each with a single 

 row of small, feeble, distant transverse punctures. Length 2.6 3.3 mm. 



Lake County, Ind., rare; June 21. Hopatcoug and Snake Hill, 

 N. J. ; West Point and Batavia, N. Y. Ranges from New England 

 and Canada to North Dakota, south to Ohio and Kansas. By the 

 absence of white scales, as well as by its slender form, this species 

 is easily separated from nigrina. 



570 (8888). PSEUDOBAKIS NIGRINA Say, 1831, 26; ibid. I, 294. 



Elongate-oval, convex. Black, shining, antennae and tarsi piceous. 

 Beak curved, as long as head and thorax, female, stouter and one-fourth 

 shorter, male, finely and sparsely punctate above, more coarsely on sides. 

 Thorax one-third wider than long, sides parallel on basal third, thence 

 broadly curved and converging toward the feebly constricted apex; disc with 

 a narrow, incomplete median smooth line, deeply and densely punctate, the 

 punctures rather fine, almost in mutual contact. Elytra scarcely wider 

 and twice as long as thorax; strias deep; intervals flat, equal, each with 

 a single row of rather large, close-set punctures. Under surface coarsely 

 and densely punctate. Length 2.5 3.7 mm. 



Common throughout Indiana; April 21 Sept. 24. Swept 



from herbage in dam]) meadows. Throughout New Jersey, May 



June, on golden-rod. Ranges over the eastern United States. 



XL TRICHOBARIS Lee., 1876. (Gr., "hairy" + Baris.) 



Elongate, robust species having the body clothed with pros- 

 trate, pale scales which are wanting on the head, in several small 

 areas on the upper surface and in a larger one on the middle of 

 tlie last two or three ventral segments. They have the antennal 

 club rather small, oval, entirely pubescent; funicle stout, first 

 joint longer, the others subequal and gradually wider; front coxre 

 narrowly separated, the prosternum broadly and feebly impressed 

 along the middle, nearly as in linris. Legs slender, tibiae clawed 

 at tip; tarsi with third joint dilated, bilobed, last joint long, 

 claws approximate, connate at base. 



KKY TO EASTERN SPECIES OF TRICHOBARIS. 



a. Scales of the upper surface slender, not completely concealing the 

 sculpture; thorax without a smooth median line. 571. TRINOTATA.
