which is prolonged as a narrow line either side the suture to the 

 apex, the remainder yellow. Abdomen fuscous; legs amber. Head 

 brownish yellow; front subconvex, punctures numerous, circular, each 

 bearing a short bristle; epistoma opaque, not punctured, slightly ele- 

 vated, subquadrate, lateral margins diverging anteriorly, anterior mar- 

 gin broadly rounded, blending with the frontal angles to form a 

 strongly curved ridge extending between the eyes. Prothorax nearly as 

 long as wide, the sides broadly curved, anterior margin rounded, nar- 

 rowed and somewhat produced over the head, base broadly rounded 

 posteriorly, punctures very numerous, small, dense, each with a stiff 

 bristle. Elytra twice as long as prothorax, not quite twice as long as 

 wide at their widest point, slightly broader than the prothorax but 

 narrower than it at the base, sides subparallel, converging anteriorly, 

 punctures finer than those on prothorax, very shallow, indistinct, each 

 with a fine yellow bristle, further roughened, especially at base, by 

 numerous large, shallow, irregular impressions. Length, 1.2 mm.; 

 width, 0.4 mm. 



Male. Similar to female in general form and color, the punctuation 

 of elytra and prothorax coarser, the larger impressions more nearly 

 circular and serially arranged. Front slightly concave, epistoma at 

 lateral angles produced into a distinct conical tubercle, the middle 

 portion flat, the frontal angles as in the female; first ventral segment 

 of abdomen with pubescent circular spot medially. Length, 1.2 mm.; 

 width, 0.4 mm.

Cis bimaculatus, n. sp. (Plate III, fig. 2). 



Female. Elongate, bristling, brownish-yellow; prothorax darker and 

 marked centrally with a large, subcircular, rufous spot; elytra marked 

 at base with a blackish, transverse band extending about one-fifth their 

 length, the remainder yellowish except for two distinct, circular, black 

 spots, one on each elytron just anterior to vertex. Abdomen and legs 

 rufous. Head brownish, slightly convex, with a faint, circular depres- 

 sion at vertex ; front with many fine, deep punctures ; epistoma broadly 

 semielliptical, slightly elevated anteriorly, opaque, more sparsely punc- 

 tured than front; angles of front short, extending very obliquely to 

 the eye on either side. Prothorax slightly broader than long, sides 

 broadly rounded, anterior margins broadly rounded and arched, base 

 feebly sinuate; punctures very dense, regular, deep, each with a short 

 bristle. Elytra twice as long as prothorax, slightly less than twice as 

 long as wide; sides nearly parallel, slightly narrowed anteriorly, rather
