TUH'.K II. IPINI. <'>> 



with not very long yellow hair. Easily recognized by the large elliptical 

 patch of yellow hair each side of prothorax and fine distant rows of elytral 

 punctures. Declivity not retuse, sutural stria deeply impressed. Club of 

 antennae divided by three distinct sutures." (LeConte.) 



Described from South Carolina. Eichhoff (1878) copied the 

 Zimmerman description, since which time no reference to the 

 species appears in literature.

Subelongate. Ferruginous, almost shining, grayish-pubescent. Thorax 

 narrowed and asperate in front with tubercles and rugae concentrically ar- 

 ranged, deeply coarsely punctate behind. Elytra rugulose, deeply punctate- 

 striate, each deeply silicate at apex, suture more strongly elevated. Asperi- 

 ties of thorax arranged in four or five transverse rows, punctures of the 

 rows of the elytra larger, rows better defined, declivity retuse and deeply 

 sulcate along suture. Length l.G mm.

Cylindrical, not slender. Dark brown, shining, thinly clothed with 

 fine long, erect pubescence; antenna? and legs ferruginous. Head flat, 

 opaque, indistinctly punctulate. Prothorax quadrate, scarcely longer than 

 wide, broadly rounded at apex, anterior one-fourth covered with obtuse 

 granules, not arranged in concentric lines, gradually changing behind into 

 fine, rugose, sparse punctuation. Elytra finely punctured, punctures ar- 

 ranged in approximate rows which in places are indistinct, apical decliv- 

 ity flattened, feebly convex each side of sutural stria, which is not very 

 distinct; there are also traces at the apex of two other stria?. Front and 

 middle tibia? not toothed, hind tibia? with a .marginal row of 7 or 8 small 

 acute spines, and a fringe of stiff long hairs. Length 2 mm.

Cylindrical, slender. Testaceous, head and disc of prothorax darker, 

 legs and antenna? yellow. Head punctured. Anterior half of thorax rather 

 strongly asperate, sides and posterior half subrugosely punctulate, dorsal 

 line smooth, narrow. Elytra finely alutaceous, nearly opaque, marked 

 with scarcely perceptible distant stria? of very fine punctures; apical de- 

 clivity neither retuse nor concave, suture elevated, limited by a distinct 

 stria. Length 1.3 m.
