a little beyond the apex); first segment nearly one and one-half times 

 the length of the second; third segment strongly swollen towards the 

 apex, densely elothed with rather long deeumbent hairs, about twice 

 the length of the first and second conjoined; fourth segment clothed 

 with mostly straight hairs, subconical, a little shorter than the first, 

 about two-thirds as thick as the apex of the third. The right antenna 

 is abnormal; second segment clothed with hairs like the third, the 

 second and third segments taken together not longer than the third 

 segment of the left antenna. Elytra strongly convex; costal area 

 uniseriate, the areolae large; sutural, discoidal, and subcostal areas 

 poorly defined. Pronotum tricarinate, the earinae about as highly 

 elevated as in grossocerata, the areolae small. Other characters about 

 the same as in minor and grossocerata. Length, 3.45 mm.; width, 

 1.4 mm. 



Color: General color dark grayish-brown, shining, the areolae 

 whitish. Rostral laminae whitish. 



Described from a macropterous female, taken by the senior 

 author at Little Rock, Iowa, July 2, 1897. As the figure indi- 

 cates, the antennae are very distinct from those of the two 

 known congeners
