finely punctured ; antennae about half as long as the body, rather 

 slender, enlarging moderately toward tip ; prothorax finely but 

 strongly, closely punctured ; elytra parallel, about two-thirds longer 

 than wide, the punctures strong and rather sparse, the surface strongly 

 shining, each broadly but rather abruptly swollen near the scutellum. 

 Length, 1.4 mm.; width, 0.75 mm. New York, (near the ciiy) 



fusciceps, n. sp. 

 Darker brown, the head blackish ; integuments much duller in lustre, the 

 punctures denser, those of the elytra smaller, but more close-set ; 

 antennae almost similar ; prothorax relatively larger, strongly rounded 

 at the sides, slightly narrower than the head ; elytra rather more 

 elongate and less subtruncate at apex, the swellings near the scutellum 

 feebler and more diffuse. Length, 1.5 mm.; width, 0.7 mm. Wis- 

 consin (Bayfield). Mr. Wickham congener, n. sp. 



8. Eyes small, moderately prominent, the tempora behind them larger 

 than in any other species of the genus, and from more than one-half 

 to two-thirds as long as the eyes ; front broadly convex, closely 

 punctate in the male, sparsely in the female ; male antennae about 

 half as long as the body, the five outer joints very faintly larger, those 

 of the female two-fifths as long as the body, with the five outer joints 

 more distinctly enlarged ; prothorax densely punctate, wider than 

 long, only slightly narrower than the head, narrowed anteriorly ; 

 elytra parallel, obtusely rounded at tip, finely, strongly and closely 

 punctured, more elongate in the male and about three-fourths longer 

 than wide ; size small as in piceus. Wisconsin (Bayfield), Mr. 



Wickham. [ =f Tanilotes lacustris, Csy.] Wickhami, Csy. 



Eyes larger, almost attaining the base ; size much larger, about 2 mm. in 

 length, similarly blackish in coloration and only moderately shining, 

 strongly and closely punctured; antennae barely two fifths as long as 

 the body, the five-jointed club very broad and conspicuous ; elytra 

 parallel, nearly twice as long as wide, obtuse at apex ; femoral tooth 

 of the female much larger than in Wickhami. Pennsylvania (near 

 Philadelphia) densus, Csy. 



9. Eyes separated by distinctly more than their own width ; antennae 



shorter, two-fifths as long as the body, gradually but strongly incras- 

 sate distally ; elytral punctures coarser and less dense, the surface 



somewhat shining. Florida (Crescent City) Floridanus, Csy. 



Eyes separated by not more than their own width and sometimes less; 

 elytral punctures smaller, dense, the surface very dull ; antennae 

 much longer, fully one-half as long as the body 10
