362 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



Type labels: Stanley Park, Vane; Douglas fir; 2639. 



Phloeosinus pini, n. sp. — ^A small black species, with the 

 front strongly carinate; the pronotum shining; the declivity without 

 conspicuous scuplture; length 2.5 mm.; width 1.25 mm. 



The head has the front flattened, densely, coarsely rugulose- 

 punctate, with a fine, acute median carina on the cephalic half; 

 the rugulose area extending backwards across the vertex as a 

 roughly punctured area with its caudal margin converging from 

 the eyes to the middle line on the occiput; the pubescence short, 

 reddish, inconspicuous; the genae densely punctulate with a few 

 scattered moderate, finely setose punctures; the eyes narrowly 

 emarginate, one-half divided ; the antennal club nearly twice as 

 long as wide, with the first two sutures moderately oblique, and 

 with a well developed septum on the dorsal half, the third suture 

 more strongly oblique and indistinct. 



The pronotum is wider than long, 10.5:8; brightly polished; 

 with the hind margin strongly bisinuate and obtusely angled at 

 the middle; the sides very strongly arcuate on the caudal half, 

 nearly straight on the caudal fourth, then strongly arcuately 

 narrowed so as to be very strongly constricted behind the broadly 

 rounded front margin, the constriction extending across the dorsum 

 as an impression; the disc finely punctured, more densely behind, 

 sparsely in front except along the front margin, coarsely punctured 

 on the sides; the punctures finely granulate, more distinctly so. 

 on the sides and in front; the pubescence short and not very distinct; 

 the median line very fine, smooth, more distinct along the middle 

 third. A shallow, oblique impression extends latero-cephalad 

 on the caudal half of the disc. 



The elytra are wider than the pronotum, 12:10, stout, one- 

 third longer than wide, 16:12 (at the base), one-twelfth wider 

 behind than at the base; the front margins strongly arcuate and 

 serrate, the serrations isolated on the sides; impressed about the 

 minute scutellum; the hind margin, from above, broadly rounded; 

 the striae very narrow; the strial punctures indistinct, fine and 

 separated; the interspaces very wide, the second interspace much 

 wider at the base, causing the remaining discal striae to be out- 

 curved at the base; the interspaces slightly convex on the disc,
