22. S. f a t u u s, nigro-piceus, parce pubescens, thorace trapezoideo, antrorsum 

 augustato, basi transversim impresso, elytris cum thorace angulum formantibus, 

 coavexis, basi valde foveatis, pedibus antennisque testaceis, his articulis tribus

One specimen, New York. I am unable to discover the acicular joint of the 

 maxillary palpi in this species, but it is so similar to the other species of this 

 division, that I am convinced that it properly belongs here and not in divi- 

 sion (C.) 



Blackish brown, finely and sparsely pubescent. Head rounded ; palpi and base 

 of antennse testaceous ; joints of the latter 3 8 rounded, subequal ; 9th and 10th 

 nearly twice as wide, transverse, 11th obtuse. Thorax not longer than wide, 

 narrowed in front, slightly rounded on the sides, transversely impressed at the 

 base. Elytra one half wider than the thorax, and forming with it a very obtuse 

 angle, oval convex, deeply foveate at base, sparsely pubescent. Feet yellowish 

 testaceous, thighs clavate. 



23. S. m i s e 1 1 u s , testaceous, minus convexus, pubescens, thorax quadrato, 

 lateribus antice rotundatis, basi medio transversim impresso, elytris basi im- 

 pressis, antennis brevibus, articulis tribus ultimis rotundatis multa maioribus. 

 Long. -025. 



Two specimens, from the upper part of Georgia, under pine bark. This species 

 seems very similar to the European S. nanus (Schaum, Germ. Zeitschr. 5,471), 

 but diners in color. Entirely pale rufo-testaceous, shining, finely pubescent. 

 Head slightly transverse, rounded. Antennae as long as the head and thorax, 

 joints 3 8 equal, small, rounded; 9 11 twice as wide as the preceding, round- 

 ed, scarcely transverse. Thorax wider than the head, quadrate, rounded on the 

 sides anteriorly, disc flattened, with a small transverse impression at the middle 

 of the base, formed by the confluence of two punctures. Elytra flattened on the 

 disc, wider than the thorax, ovate, very slightly punctulate, impressed at the 

 base. Thighs a little thickened. 



24. S. gravidus, piceus, pubescens, thorace antrorsum angustalo, basi 

 transversim impresso, elytris brevioribus rufescentibus, ovatis, basi foveatis, 

 antennis gracilibus, articulis tribus ultimis rotundatis abrupte maioribus. 

 Long. '04. 



Louisiana, Schaum, one specimen. Broader than the neighboring species, 

 piceous pubescent. Head rounded; antennse a little longer than the head and 

 thorax, slender, joints 3 8 equal, not elongated, 9 and 10 more than twice as 

 thick, globular, 11th a little longer, obtuse. Thorax wider than the head, trape- 

 zoidal, narrowed anteriorly, sides almost straight, base with a strong transverse 

 impression. Elytra somewhat rufous, ovate, twice as wide as the base of the 

 thorax and forming with it a very indistinct angle ; moderately convex, base 

 strongly foveate ; thighs slightly clavate, tarsi testaceous. 



25. S. fulvuSj fusiformis, testaceo-rufus, pubescens, thorace longiusculo, 

 trapezoideo, elytris basi vix impressis, antennis brevibus, articulis tribus ultimis 

 rotundatis, abrupte maioribus. Long. '03. 



Upper part of Georgia, under pine bark. This species has very nearly the 

 form of S. analis, but the thorax is longer. 



Bright rufo-testaceous, covered with fine yellow hair. Head strongly pilose 

 posteriorly. Antennae as long as the head and thorax, three last joints equal, 

 globular, twice as thick as the preceding ones, which are small and rounded. 

 Thorax longer than wide, scarcely wider than the head, narrowed in front, sides 

 straight, base not impressed. Elytra one half wider than the thorax, continuous 

 in outline with it, regularly narrowed behind the middle, sparsely punctulate, 

 slightly depressed on the disc, scarcely foveate at the base, thighs but slightly 

 clavate.

26. S. gracilis, elongatus rufo-testaceus, pebescens, capite angusto, thorace 

 elongatOj antrorsum subangustato, basi impresso, elytris elongato-ovalibus, con- 

 vexis basi impressis, antennis articulis 5 ultimis sensim crassioribus. Long. '06.
