Elongate-oblong, broadest behind tlie middle. Above black or dark 

 reddish-brown, sparsely clothed with short, suberect, grayish-yellow pubes- 

 cence; beneath uniform pale reddish-brown. Clypeus of female obtusely 

 rounded in front, impressed above. Antenna; with second and third joints 

 each nearly as long as fourth; this and the following joints without promi- 

 nent angles in either sex. Thorax one-third longer than wide, strongly 

 convex, sides feebly rounded, disk finely, evenly and densely punctured; 

 hind angles slightly diverging, strongly carinate. Elytra! stria* fine, the 

 punctures small, close-set; intervals Hat, rather densely and roughly punc- 

 tulate. Length 8.5-12 mm. 



Putnam County; rare. August 12. A single female taken 

 from beneath the bark of a maple log. It is more robust, less shin-

VI, 183G, 169; ibid. II, G04. 



Elongate, rather slender. Keddish or pale chestnut-brown, very sparse- 

 ly clothed with fine yellowish pubescence; beneath pale, dull brownish-yel- 

 low. Clypeus prominent, subtruucate. Second and third joints of antenna*, 

 shorter than in Mcolor, the outer joints broader, with the angles better de- 

 fined, thus causing them to appear more serrate. Thorax slightly longer 

 than broad, sides broadly rounded on apical half; disk more sparsely, 

 coarsely and unevenly punctured than in bicolor; hind angles slightly di- 

 varicate, strongly and obliquely carinate. Elytra with sides parallel to 

 apical fourth, thence converging to a broadly rounded apex; strife finely 

 punctate; intervals subeonvex. sparsely punctulate. Length 11.5-13 mm. 



Laporte and Fulton counties; rare. May 26- August 3. Taken 

 from beneath bark of dead tamarack and pine. 



XXXVII. BLADUS Lee. 1861. 



Front not margined behind the labrum ; tarsi not lobed beneath ; 

 prosternuni not lobed in front, the sutures straight and excavated 

 in front. But one species is known and was described from Indiana.
