148 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



just back of the eyes, which they exceed in diameter; a pair of dots on the 

 disc and four black dots on posterior margin of scutellum. Elytra pale, 

 the nervures concolorous, margined with regularly-arranged pairs of black 

 dots, the costal and apical margins with large quadrate black spots; cross 

 nervures, except at apex, unmarked. 



Described from seven specimens ; three from Sioux City, Iowa 

 (Osborn); three from Onaga, Kans. (Crevecceur), and one from Effingham, 

 Kans. (Van Duzee). The double furcation of the nervures will separate 

 this from any but sulcipes, and the larger process and the lighter colour 

 will readily differentiate it from this latter species. 



Scolops Uhieri, n. sp. 



Resembling angustatus and perdix, but much shorter-bodied and 

 with a long straight process. Length 6.5-S mm., process 2-3 mm.; 

 width 2.5 mm. 



Cephalic process long and straight, half longer than front, parallel 

 margined, two-thirds the width of the vertex, vertex convex. Elytra 

 straight and narrow as in angustatus, but much shorter, the middle sector 

 forking farther back than the inner one. 



Colour: face and apical process pale soiled yellow, the lateral 

 margins of the latter dull brown, pronotum and scutellum pale, more or 

 less clouded, a pair of rather large round spots on disc of pronotum and 

 another pair near apex of scutellum. Elytra with the broad outer margin 

 and most of the inner margin pale or milky white; just inside the outer 

 sector is a broad smoky or dark brown stripe, very definite on the outer 

 margin and fading out internally. This stripe is sparsely interrupted with 

 light dots on the nervures. 



Described from twenty-four examples from Grand Junction, Colo. 

 The small, square-set body, together with the remarkably long, straight 

 process, renders this a strikingly distinct form. The process is twice as 

 long as in angustatus and considerably longer than in perdix. It is also 

 stouter and strictly parallel-margined, while in those species it tapers. 



Scolops maculosus, n. sp. 



Form of Uhleri nearly, body distinctly oval, the process shorter and 

 stouter, resembling robustus in shape and colour, but smaller. Length: 

 9 7 mm., o* 6 mm., process 2 mm.; width 2.75 mm. 



Cephalic process stout, almost as wide as the vertex, a trifle enlarged 

 at the apex, as long as the front, slightly curved upward. Elytra
