TRIBE XXI. CUYPTORHYNCIIIX1. 471 



a vague curved line of pubescence each side. Beak long, slightly curved, 

 strongly striate and punctured. Thorax at base scarcely wider than long, 

 sides much rounded and strongly constricted in front; disc densely rugose- 

 ly punctured, with a small median callus and some indistinct tubercles. 

 Elytra oblong-oval, the striae, with distant quadrate punctures; alternate 

 intervals moderately carinate, the third and fifth each interrupted twice, 

 the seventh broadly interrupted behind the humerus. Ventral segments 

 sparsely punctured, fifth more densely and finely punctured. Length 

 7 mm. 



Recorded from Allegheny, Pa., Topeka, Kansas, MendenhaH, 

 Miss., and Hanlover, Fla. Beaten from red oak sprouts by Dr. 

 Hamilton. A large and rather smooth reddish species. 



731 ( ). COXOTRACHELUS FALLI Sp. 110V. 



Broadly oval. Dark reddish-brown or piceous, antennae, tibiae and 

 tarsi paler; surface sparsely clothed with fulvous and pale gray scales, 

 the latter forming a small spot at bases of third and fifth elytral intervals, 

 a few small remote spots on elytra and a ring near apex of each femur; 

 the fulvous ones thinly clothing the head, beak, legs and sterna, and con- 

 densed in a broad cross-bar at apical third of elytra. Beak as long as 

 thorax, feebly curved, finely striate and punctate. Thorax slightly wider 

 than long, sides almost straight and parallel from base to beyond middle, 

 then abruptly converging and feebly constricted to apex; disc densely and 

 very coarsely cribrately punctate and distinctly carinate on median third. 

 Elytra oval, humeri prominent, rounded, sides broadly feebly curved from 

 base to apex; striae with rows of large, deep, rounded punctures; third, fifth 

 and seventh intervals narrow, entire, strongly elevated. Abdomen rather 

 coarsely, closely and evenly punctate, each puncture enclosing a very short 

 prostrate yellow hair. Femora each with two small but distinct teeth; tarsal 

 claws widely separated, strongly toothed. Length 5.5 mm. (W. 8. B.) 



Porter County, Tnd., rare; June 5. The coarsely sculptured 

 and almost naked thorax, and entire acute alternate elytral cost.e 

 readily separate this from all other members of the group. Named 

 in honor of H. C. Fall, a leading authority on American Coleop- 

 tera, who has aided us in many ways during the preparation of 

 this work. 



732 (8717). CONOTRACHELUS AFFIXIS Boh., Schon., 1837, 429. 



Oval. Dark brown or piceous; pubescence of thorax brownish-yellow, 

 forming broad, curved, sinuate and irregularly branching lines on the 

 disc and sides; elytra thinly pubescent, with a short basal line on tlr'rd 

 interval and a broad posterior band brownish-yellow. Beak long, slender, 

 moderately curved, strongly striate and punctured. Thorax at base scarce- 

 ly wider than long, deeply constricted in front, sides broadly rounded, disc 

 rather densely rugose-punctate, carinate on apical half and with a transverse 

 impression about the middle. Elytral striae composed of large, distant, quad- 

 rate punctures, intervals alternately carinate, first carina broadly inter- 

 rupted in two places, second feebly interrupted near base. Length 5 7 

 mm.
