nent tubercles in a line across the middle. Elytra each with a large tuft 

 of brown hair on basal fourth, scattered smaller tufts on disc and a pro- 

 tuberance each side of the white apical patch; stria represented by rows of 

 minute distant punctures. Length 6.5 9.2 mm.

To our species usually listed under Crntofxtris the name 

 EI<IHU-IUH Schon. lias been recently restored by Bovie. Aside 

 from the characters given in keys, they have the beak Hat, as 

 long as head; eyes oval, prominent, coarsely granulated; anten- 

 nae short, reaching base of elytra in both sexes; joints 1 and 2 

 stout, subequai, third slender, twice as long as second, 4 8 

 gradually shorter, 9 11 larger, forming a loose compressed club 

 (Fig. 12, c) ; thorax with side margin reaching middle, base feebly 

 bisinuate with its lower margin well defined, thus causing the 

 transverse ridge to appear as if not basal.

Elongate-oblong, robust. Sooty brown, rather thickly clothed with pale 

 brown and grayish-yellow hairs, the latter covering the beak, apical third 

 of thorax and forming a large common sutural spot, concave behind, near 

 middle of elytra, this usually bordered behind by a black bar; remainder 

 of surface mottled; legs annulate with gray and black or dark brown. 

 Thorax strongly narrowed and with sides concave in front; disc with a 

 wide, shallow feebly carinate median groove, coarsely and densely punc- 

 tate. Elytra not wider than thorax; disc with rows of rather coarse, deep, 

 close-set punctures; alternate intervals slightly more elevated. Length 

 3.5 8.5 mm. 



Common throughout Indiana ; March 31 November 8. Hiber- 

 nates as imago beneath logs and partly rotten beech and maple 

 stumps: taken mainly in woody fungi on oak logs and stumps; 

 in August from flowers of goldenrod and thoroughwort. Common 

 throughout New Jersey, May to August, on tree fungus and dead 

 trees, developing in fungus-attacked logs and stumps. Ormond, 

 Kissimmee and Dunedin, Fla.; frequent on woody fungi; Feb. 

 1 April 4. Ranges from New England and Ontario to Iowa, 

 south to Florida and Texas. Varies much in size (one specimen 

 from Florida being only 3.5 mm. in length) and in mod lings, so 

 that numerous synonyms have been created by foreign writers. 

 Usually listed as tinnitus Fat)., but Olivier's name has priority 

 by six years.
