One specimen, New Jersey, M r Guex. Easily distinguished 

 by the rounded sides and the coarser punctuation of the thorax, 

 as well as by the two deep impressions half way between the 

 middle and the base. The specimen is apparently a female , 

 as the antennae do not extend beyond the base of the thorax. 

 The form is more robust than the preceding (cKcullatus) or 

 next (equestris) species.
