314 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



Not closely allied to any other genus of the Omalini. This genus is 

 represented at present by a single species, as follows : 



E. Keeniana, n. sp. — Black, the upper surface, except the abdomen, 

 with a piceous tinge, especially noticeable on the elytra ; legs dark rufo- 

 piceous, the antennae black ; surface highly polished ; head coarsely but 

 not densely punctate, the prothorax coarsely, closely and vermicularly 

 sculptured, with a smooth elevated median line, and, midway between this 

 line and each side, two irregular, slightly elevated and smooth areas ; 

 elytra wider than long, three-fourths wider and longer than the prothorax, 

 the sides diverging from the moderately-rounded humeri, which are not 

 very widely exposed at bas'e, the surface very coarsely, not densely 

 punctate, feebly impressed toward the humeri, narrowly along the sutural 

 bead toward base, more broadly behind the middle, this latter impressed 

 area having on each elytron a small patch adjoining the sutural bead 

 where the sculpture becomes subobsolete ; abdomen as long as the elytra, 

 and, at the base, equally wide, strongly ogival, transversely convex, 

 polished and impunctate, though rather coarsely micro-reticulate. Length, 

 2.25 mm.; width, 0.95 mm.

I also have this species, which it gives me pleasure to dedicate to its 

 discoverer, labeled " Queen Charlotte Islands." 



Leptoremus, n. gen. — Anthicidae. 



Body subcylindric, closely punctured throughout, the sculpture con- 

 cealed by the dense decumbent vestiture ; erect hairs wanting ; head 

 wider than the prothorax, the eyes extremely large, feebly sinuate 

 anteriorly, occupying the entire sides of the head, convex, prominent, very 

 coarsely faceted, the facets strongly convex ; tempora subobsolete ; neck 

 rather long, about two-thirds as wide as the head ; epistoma long, the 

 suture obscure ; maxillary palpi slender, the fourth joint much longer than 

 the third, narrow, elongate-suboval, the apex obtusely pointed and 

 obliquely truncate ; antennae long, gradually attenuate, the apex very 

 slender, joints from the third compressed, rather strongly serrate within, 

 the serratures gradually becoming very feeble distally, the last joint very 

 slender, still more attenuate subabruptly in less than apical half and 

 about two-thirds longer than the penultimate ; prothorax narrow and 

 elongate, broadly constricted at apex, finely margined at base ; scUtellum 

 small, broadly rounded ; abdomen with five free segments equal in length; 

 metasternum long ; mesosternum very narrowly separating the coxje, with 

 the episterna large and equilatero-triangular ; legs rather long, slender, the
