498 SUBFAMILY X. CURCULIONINyE. 



Described from South Carolina and Georgia. Recorded, per- 

 haps erroneously, from Ontario by Harrington. 



780 (8777). PSEUDOMUS INFLATUS Lee., 1884, 31. 



Broadly oval, convex, narrowed at each end. Piceous, thinly clothed 

 with brown submetallic scales, condensed to form a lunate transverse spot 

 behind the middle. Beak rugose and punctured at base, finely and sparsely 

 punctate toward tip. Thorax one-half wider than long, strongly narrowed 

 in front, equally punctate above and beneath, without smooth dorsal line. 

 Elytra with rows of close-set, quadrate punctures. Front femora acutely 

 toothed, hind ones with a very obtuse angle. Length 4 4.2 mm. 



Cape Jupiter and other points in Florida. "Easily recognized 

 by the inflated form and nearly uniform color." (LeConte.) Re- 

 ferred by Champion to his genus Pseudomopsis, but the scutellum 

 is plainly visible and the limneri are not rectangular. 



781 (8776). PSEUDOMUS SEDEXTARIUS Say, 1831, 30; ibid, I, 298. 



Elongate, subfusiform, convex. Black or piceous, very thinly clothed 

 with large oval, dirty white or yellowish scales, condensed in numerous 

 small spots on thorax and elytra and in a large common one on declivity, 

 which is prolonged backward by two spurs to the tip; antennae and tarsi 

 reddish-brown; scutellum white. Beak black, shining, coarsely punctate 

 near base, finely and sparsely so near tip, obsoletely carinate. Thorax as 

 wide at base as long, strongly narrowed from base to apex, disc rather 

 coarsely, deeply and very closely punctate and with a short, faint median 

 carina. Elytra strongly convex, the strias with rows of large, feebly im- 

 pressed, close-set oblong punctures. Length 4 4.5 mm. 



Known only from Florida. Ormond, Apr. 13. "Enterprise, 

 very rare on dead vines." (^Fchicarz.) 



XV. ACALLES Schou., 182C. (Gr.. "deformed.") 



Small, convex, dull colored species having the beak rather 

 long, subcylindrical, moderately curved, somewhat flattened to- 

 ward apex; antenna 1 inserted at or behind the middle, first and 

 second joints of funirle elongate, obconical, the others short, sub- 

 rotund ; elytra oval with rounded sides, 9-striate, their scales in- 

 termixed with bristles; mesosternum usually deeply emarginate 

 for about one-half its length, the prosternal groove ending at the 

 front of the middle coxae. About 17 species have been described 

 from this country, mostly from the southern and southwestern 

 states. Of these eight are known from our territory and four ad- 

 ditional ones are herewith described.
