604 (11,185). LIMXOBARIS TABIDA Casey, 1892, 629. 



Elongate-oblong, subparallel, rather strongly depressed. Piceous- 

 black, shining, legs and antennae dull reddish-brown; sides of thorax 

 rather thickly clothed with minute yellowish, inclined hair-like scales, 

 which form a faint broad submarg'inal band; elytral intervals each with 

 a single row of similar whitish scales. Beak stout, as long as thorax, 

 feebly curved, striate and coarsely punctate on sides; antennae inserted 

 at apical third, first joint of funicle as long as the next three, second one- 

 half longer than third. Thorax about as long as wide; sides feebly and 

 broadly curved from base to apical fourth, then rounded and strongly 

 converging to apex; disc finely, unevenly and rather densely punctate, 

 the punctures tending to coalesce lengthwise and form faint strigae on 

 the sides; median smooth line narrow, often visible only behind the mid- 

 dle. Elytra scarcely wider than thorax, the sides subparallel to middle, 

 then feebly converging to the rounded apex; striae wide, deep; intervals 

 but little wider than the striae, each with a single row of coarse, deep, 

 close-set punctures. Length 2.5 3 mm. 



Marshall, Vigo, Knox and Perry counties, Ind., scarce; Jan. 

 fi August 8 ; one on the former date beneath bottom rail of fence 

 in moist ground. Known heretofore only from the type described 

 from Illinois. The abruptly defined submarginal thoracic stripe 

 of yellowish setae or scales is visible distinctly oulv under a

strong lens by artificial light. 



605 (11,186). LIMNOBAKIS DEPLAXATA Casey, 1892, 630. 



Oblong, subdepressed. Black, feebly shining, subglabrous; beak, an- 

 tennae and tarsi piceous. Beak rather slender, cylindrical, as long as thor- 

 ax, coarsely and rather densely punctate on sides near base, more finely 

 and sparsely above. Thorax almost as long as wide, sides subparallel 

 from base to middle, then broadly and evenly curved to apex; disc rather 

 coarsely, deeply and somewhat unevenly punctate, the median smooth line 

 distinct. Elytra slightly wider and three-fourths longer than thorax; 

 striae deep, rather coarse; intervals one-half wider than grooves, concave, 

 each with a single row of rather coarse, deep, not close-set punctures. 

 Under surface coarsely and densely, the abdomen more finely and sparsely, 

 punctate. Length 3 3.5 mm. 



Lake County, Ind., rare; May 30. Philipp, Miss, May 14. 

 Known heretofore only from Keokuk, Iowa. Larger and broader 

 than t<tl)i<l<i, the setae minute, scarcely visible above. 



606 (11,187). LIMXOBARIS DEXUDATA Casey, 1892, 632. 



Narrowly oval, subdepressed. Dark reddish-brown throughout, shin- 

 ing; very sparsely clothed on sides of thorax, near apex of elytra and that 

 of abdomen, with very small yellowish scale-like hairs. Beak not quite as 

 long as thorax, rather coarsely and densely marked with linear punctures 

 on sides of basal third, elsewhere finely and sparsely punctate. Thorax
