448 Goleopterological Notices, VI. 



half longer than wide, somewhat obliquely pointed, basal joints each with a 

 few very long erect black setae near the apex. Prothorax one-half wider than 

 long, the sides evenly and strongly arcuate, becoming parallel at the base; apex 

 three-fifths as wide as the base, the basal angles gradually and rather strongly 

 prominent posteriorly but quite distinctly rounded. Scutellum triangular 

 with the sides straight and the apex only slightly blunt. Elytra not quite as 

 long as wide, the suture distinctly longer than the i^rothorax, evidently nar- 

 rowed behind from the base, with the sides evenly and feebly arcuate; apex 

 broadly, angularly emarginate, the outer apical angles rather broadly rovinded; 

 disk somewhat finely imbricate, the imbrications relatively very coarsely re- 

 ticulate. Abdomen gradually tapering, bristling at the sides with long erect 

 black setae throughoirt the length. Length 1.25-1.35 mm.; width 0.85 mm. 



North Carolina (Asheville). 



The epipleuree are narrow, becoming obsolete before the 

 rounded apical angles of the elytra and gradualh' vertical exter- 

 nally toward base ; the\' are glabrous toward base but distinctly 

 pubescent posteriorly. The epistomal suture is rather abruptly 

 and postei'iorl}' sinuate in the middle. The sixth ventral segment 

 of the male has a large deep and triangular emargination. occupy- 

 ing almost the entire apex, scarcely more than one-half wider than 

 deep and with the angle slightly rounded. Numerous specimens 

 are before me differing scarcely' at all in size. 



16. C. sulbtilis u. sp. — Oblong-oval, strongly convex, feebly shining, pale 

 castaneo -testaceous, with the elytra darker; legs, basal i^arts and apex of the 

 antennae paler ; pubescence moderately short and dense, dark, the sculpture of 

 the anterior parts very feeble. Head fully one-half as wide as the prothorax, 

 the antennae about extending to the base of the latter, feebly incrassate, with 

 the tenth joint somewhat longer than wide; epistomal suture broadly and pos- 

 teriorly sinuate almost throughout the width. Prothorax fully three-fifths 

 wider than long, the apex three-fifths as wide as the base; sides evenly and 

 strongly arcuate, becoming parallel at the basal angles, which are only moder- 

 ately prominent posteriorly and distinctly rounded. Elytra one-fourth wider 

 thau long, the suture equal in length to the prothorax, the sides somewhat 

 convergent and feebly arcuate from the ba.se; external apical angles broadly 

 rounded ; disk rather closely imbricate, the imbrications frequently cro.ssed by 

 a fine median line. Abdomen with long coarse and bristling black setae at the 

 sides from apex to base. Length 1.25-1.35 mm. ; width 0.8 mm. 



Texas (Austin). 



The male has a large deep and narrowly pai'abolic emargination 

 occupying practically the entire apex of the sixth ventral seg- 

 ment, and distinctly less than twice as Avide as deep. The epipleu- 

 rte are nearly as in dehilis, but attain the rounded apical angles. 



This species is closely- allied to dehilis.'but va^y be distinguished
