32 FAMILY II. ANTHRIBID^E. 



Seacoast of New Jersey, rare. Indian River, Sand Point, 

 and Enterprise, Fla., March 2f> April. Recorded elsewhere only 

 from Ohio and District of Columbia. Occurs on dead branches 

 and twigs. The clnl> of antennae is more slender than in Itinm- 

 cnl<ituH and the upper surface much less uneven than there. 



YIIL ALLAXHRUS Lee., 1870. (Or., "different" + -tarsi.") 



Beak longer than head, narrowed at base, slightly dilated at 

 tip, above with a high crest on basal half in male, feebly carinate, 

 female; antennae of female reaching base of elytra and formed 

 much as in Tropiflcrcf:, the second joint more slender; of male 

 as long as body, joints 3 8 very elongate, 11 flattened, form- 

 ing a loose club; eyes rounded, prominent, finely granulated; 

 tarsi more slender than usual, third joint not as wide as second, 

 claws appendh-ulate. One species is known. 



17 (9207). AiXAxnm-s mi ASCIATUS Lee., 1876, 396. 



Oblong, subcylindrical. Blackish-brown with a brassy tinge; elytra 

 with two ill-defined bands of ash-gray hairs, the front one extending along 

 the suture to base; scutellum white; head and thorax densely punctured, 

 thinly clothed with ash-gray hairs. Thorax longer than wide, narrowed at 

 tip and base, finely and densely punctate; the transverse ridge remote 

 from base, feebly curved, subsinuate, flexed obliquely forward at sides. 

 Elytra not as wide as thorax at middle; stria? fine, punctured. Length 

 3.54.3 mm. 



Not yet recognized from Indiana though undoubtedly occurs. 

 New -Jersey on linden. Bowmanville, 111., -July 27. Ranges from 

 New England and Canada to Wisconsin. Utah ami Idaho, on a 

 line north of the Ohio River. Utah specimens are black instead 

 of brown. Hamilton in place of above cites Allittidrns n. sp.. 

 which however. Klages 1 1001, 294) says is bifosciatus. 



Tribe II. ANTHRIBINI. 



In this tribe the antennae are inserted under the sides of the 

 beak; transverse ridge of thorax basal, reaching the hind angles 

 and there (except in Ant]iribitlitx} bent forward at a right angle 

 along the sides, thus forming an apparently elevated margin of 

 base and posterior portion of sides of thorax. The basal margin 

 of elytra is also elevated and acute to correspond with that of 

 thorax. 



KEY TO EASTERN GENERA OF AXTHRIBINI 



a. Beak with sides parallel or nearly so. 



b. Tarsi with third joint wider, deeply bilobed, visible from above, 

 c. Front coxae contiguous or nearly so; antennal cavities distant from 

 the eyes.
