72. T. fiilTesceiiS n. sp. — Subcylindrical, moderately convex, polished, 

 black, the elytra, inetastenuiiii and abdominal vertex more or less rufo- 

 piceous; legs pale piceo-testaceous, the tibiis and tarsi darker; antenna.' black; 

 pubescence rather long and dense, -sery coarse, decumbent and bright fulvous, 

 intermixed with numerous long and bristling setie, which are blackish in color 

 but becoming in great part pale toward the sides of the elytra. Head nearly 

 three-fourths as wide as the prothorax, convex, smooth, finely and sparsely 

 punctate, the eyes large but not verj' convex; anteunne a little longer than the 

 prothorax, rapidly and strongly incrassate toward apex and clothed densely 

 Avith short erect and cinereous sette, the penultimate joints strongly trans- 

 verse. Prothorax tAvo-thirds wider than long; the sides moderately conver- 

 gent and almost evenly and distinctly arcuate from base to apex; basal angles 

 obtuse and somewhat liroadly rounded, feebly reflexed, the apical greatly de- 

 flexed but almost right and scarcely at all blunt; apex and base almost recti- 

 linear ly truncate, the former decidedly the narrower; disk finely, sparselj' 

 punctate, not at all rugose at the sides. El/jfra barely three-fifths longer than 

 wide, not noticeably wider than the prothorax, subparallel and straight at the 

 sides, the apex evenly rounded ; disk rather finely but strongly and closely 

 punctate. Legf< and abdomen moderately densely cinereo-pubescent. Length 

 .3.0 mm. ; width 1.15 mm.

A well marked si)ecies, distinguishable at once by the coarse 

 and dense fulvous ve.stiture, incrassate antenna?, coloration and 

 other characters ; the single male before me has the fifth ventral 

 broadh^ sinuato-truncate at apex.

 deeph' and remoteh" punctate, the interspaces polished ; disk bi- 

 impressed at each side on the declivity behind the middle, the 

 two impressions subconfluent. Elytra scarcely at all wider than 

 the prothorax and more than three times as long, twice as long 

 as wide, coarsely and more closely but not densely punctate. 

 Antennae as long as the prothorax. Length 4.0 mm.; width 1.4
