214 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



closer on the sides and granulate behind. The first declivital tooth, that 

 of the second interspace, is distinct and acute ; the second and third are 

 closely united ; the second acute, the third longer, blunt, and incurved • 

 the fourth is smaller, acute, and midway between the third and the raised 

 apical margin. This raised apical margin is less elongate than in //;//. 

 The tip of each elytron is raised into a minute recurved tubercle. The 

 declivity is not deeply concave, coarsely, irregularly punctured, glabrous, 

 with the sutures strongly raised. The body is clothed above and on the 

 sides with long, coarse, erect, brownish hairs. The disc of the pronotum 

 and the central region of each elytron are less hairy. The long hairs cf 

 tlie elytra arise, as usual, from the interstrial punctures. 



The only sexual characters observed are those of the front. This 

 species is closely allied Ko pini ; but quite distinct in the frontal characters 

 and the long hairs of the discal interspaces of the elytra. 



Ten specimens from spruce at St. Anthony, Newfoundland ; collected 

 by Mr. C. M. Spencer of Macdonald College. Type specimen with the 

 front smooth and very finely punctured. 



Ips longidens, n. sp. — Length, 23^-3^ mm.; slender cylindric, dark 

 red to black, moderately clothed with long light hairs ; allied to latide?is 

 but differs as below. 



The head is coarsely, rugosely punctured ; and has the front granulate, 

 flattened, or faintly impressed transversely, witii a narrow faint median 

 carina extending to the vertex ; the epistoma deeply emarginate on the 

 middle line, with the epistomal fringe thicker and bright yellow from the 

 emargination ; the eyes broadly emarginate ; the antennal club with the 

 sutures bisinuate, nearly straight. 



The pronotum is longer than wide, distinctly impressed on each side 

 near the middle, broadly rounded behind, slightly rounded and gradually 

 narrowed on the sides, more rapidly cephalad of the middle, and narrowly 

 rounded in front. The asperations of the front half of the pronotum are 

 of different sizes, the largest more or less concentrically arranged ; the 

 hinder half is shining, with a smooth median space and small, sparse 

 punctures on the disc, becoming larger on the sides. The pronotum is 

 sparsely hairy except the centre of the disc which is nearly glabrous. 



The elytra have the sides parallel as far as the level of the upper 

 margin of the declivity, then obliquely narrowed and squarely truncate, 

 as viewed from above. The striae are distinctly impressed on the disc, 

 less deeply on the sides, with the strial punctures large, quadrate, and
