THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST 387 



tuberculate and hispid. Antennae brownish piceous, scape and 

 basal joint of funicle pale, base of club also paler and subglabrous; 

 funicle 6-jointed, second joint a little shorter than the first, fully 

 tAvice as long as wide ; third joint three-fourths as long as the second ; 

 fourth, fifth and sixth subequal, each a little shorter than the third 

 and slightly longer than wide; club as long as ^the preceding four 

 joints, ovate-pointed. Head coarsely, densely cribrate punctate, 

 a short occipital carina; beak rather stout, as long as the prothorax, 

 striate basally and densely, coarsely punctate and hispid through- 

 out; antennae inserted slightly beyond the middle. Prothorax 

 about one-fifth wider than long, sides parallel in basal third, 

 broadly constricted in front, apex a little more than one-half as 

 wide as base, apical margin scarcely sinuate at middle, m^ian 

 sulcus narrow, moderately deep posteriorly, evanescent in front, 

 lateral tubercles small but acute, vestiture of internlingled fine 

 white and blackish setae, the former less erect, the latter bristling 

 but more or less recurved, and with small patches of elongate, ap- 

 pressed white scales at the hind angles at base of median sulcus. 

 Elytra about as wide as long, sides feebly rounded and subparallel 

 basally; striae moderate, intervals each with a single series of 

 strongly elevated, shining tubercles, which are acute when viewed 

 laterally, but with transversely arcuate outline when viewed from 

 behind, each bearing at its summit a long, blackish, erect but re- 

 curved seta. The surface is also clothed sparsely throughout 

 with shorter, more inclined white hairs; a short linear patch of 

 white scales at the base of the suture. Body beneath coarsely, 

 densely punctured, the sternal side pieces albo-squamose, the 

 ventral segments with intermixed, whitish scales and erect, dark 

 hairs, the former predominating at the sides. Legs moderate, the 

 femora armed with a very small acute tooth ; ungual teeth approxi- 

 mate, and very nearly as long as the claws. 



Length 2.5 mrh.; width L5 mm. 



Aweme, Manitoba, Sept. 25, on Heuchera hispida (Criddle). 

 The type is a male, having all the tibiae strongly unguiculate, 

 and the last ventral with a rather shallow median fovea, with 

 its lateral margins somewhat elevated posteriorly. 



This remarkable little species does not in all respects look 

 like a Ceutorhynchus, but I am unable to refer it elsewhere. It 

 may be placed near sulcipemiis and decipiens for the present.
