TUir.K XVI II. I5AKINI. 395 



pressed; thorax parallel, nearly as long as wide, its sides rounded 

 and narrowed in front. 605. DEPLANATA. 



(id. Elytral striae fine, the intervals more finely punctate. 



e. Body dark reddish-brown throughout ; punctures of thorax fine, 

 very remote, unevenly distributed and irregular in size. 



606. DEXUDATA. 



ee. Black, strongly shining, legs and antenna? piceous; punctures 

 much closer and more evenly distributed. GOT. OBLITA. 



602 (11,182). LiMNorsAKis BRACATA Casey, 1892, 627. 



Rather broadly oval, convex. Dark reddish-brown to piceous, shining; 

 head piceous; thorax with a wide curved submarginal stripe each side, 

 and a small patch in front of scutellum of large, elongate-oval whitish 

 scales; elytra with a row of similar scales along the third interval and 

 forming a small spot at base of fifth; punctures of legs and under sur- 

 face each bearing a smaller whitish scale. Antennas inserted two-fifths 

 from tip of beak, first joint of funicle subclavate, more than twice as long 

 as second. Thorax one-half wider than long, sides feebly curved from 

 base to beyond middle, then broadly rounded and distinctly constricted near 

 apex; disc with a wide median line and a large oval space each side 

 near middle devoid of punctures, elsewhere rather coarsely, not densely 

 punctate, substrigosely so near apical angles. Elytral striae wide, deep, 

 faintly punctate; intervals each with a single row of rather large, close- 

 set punctures. Flanks of thorax distinctly strigose; remainder of under 

 surface coarsely and rather sparsely punctate. Male with middle of first 

 and second ventral segments broadly and deeply concave, the cavity 

 thickly clothed with brownish hairs. Length 2.7 3.1 mm. 



Lake and Marion counties, Ind., rare; June 8 27. New Jer- 

 sey; Leng collection. Known elsewhere only from District of 

 Columbia, Ohio, Towa and Missouri. Both specimens at hand are 

 reddish-brown, not piceous-black as described by Casey. Olifjolo- 

 duts robust us Linell (1897, .">:*), described from New Jersey and 

 District of Columbia, is a synonym. 



603 (11,183). LIMNOBAHIS LIMBIFKK Casey, 1892, 628. 



Elongate-oval, moderately convex. Piceous-black, antenna?, beak and 

 legs reddish-brown; scales large, broad, nearly white, very unevenly 

 placed, being condensed along the marginal region of thorax and scat- 

 tered along intervals of elytra in nearly single lines, with a more dis- 

 tinct spot at base of third interval. Beak cylindrical, rather stout, as 

 long as head and thorax, feebly flattened toward apex and with sparse 

 elongate punctures on sides near base. Disc of thorax very coarsely 

 punctate and with a wide median smooth line, the punctures deep, sepa- 

 rated by their own diameters. Elytra slightly wider and three-fourths 

 longer than thorax; stria? coarse, deep; intervals one-half wider than 

 grooves, each with a single row of small, rather distant punctures. Front 

 coxa? separated by nearly their own width. Length 3.6 mm. 



Known only from Florida and District of Columbia.
