Elongate-oval, the elytra gradually declivous behind, black, 

 clothed with narrow white scales in the elytral sulci, in the usual 

 oblique sublateral pronotal vittse and less densely' on the head, 

 beak and toward the median parts of the pronotum Beak long 

 and strongh' carinate, the two basal joints of the antennal funi- 

 cle equal and moderately elongate. Prothorax large, about as 

 long as wide, strongl}" carinate. Elytra oval, gradually ogival 

 behind, the sutural notch very small, three times as long as the 

 prothorax and much less than twice as wide. Length 12.5 mm.; 

 width 5.5 mm. 



Hudson Bay Territory and Alaska. The legs are long and the 

 femora are not annulate, as is the case in most of the species, but 

 the sublateral abdominal spots of condensed scales are distinct. 



L,. erraiis n. sp. — Elongate-oval, black, the integuments polished through- 

 out when denuded; vestiture consisting of narrow scales, longer, sparser and 

 hair-like on the median parts of the pronotum and along the rostral carina, 

 whitish in the usual oblique sublateral vitta; of the pronotum and in nume- 

 rous small condensed spots on the elytra, the narrower and more depressed in- 

 tervals clothed in great part with pale yellowish scales; abdomen with the 

 usual sublateral series of small condensed whitish spots. Head much less than 

 one-half as wide as the prothorax, densely albido-squamulose, the eyes sepa- 

 rated by rather less than twice their own width; interocular fovea narrow, 

 deep and elongate; beak slightly longer than the prothorax, densely punctato- 

 rugose, squamulose and feebly carinate above throughout, the apical dilatation 

 moderately gradual; basal joint of the antennal funicle distinctly longer than 

 the second, the latter only a little longer than wide. Prothorax large, one- 

 fourth wider than long, the sides feebly divergent and nearly straight from 

 the base to about the middle, there obtusely subangulate and thence more con- 

 vergent and somewhat reentrant to the apex, which is three-fourths as wide as 

 the base; disk coarsely rugose, with a pronounced median carina. Elytra 

 much less than twice as wide as the prothorax and less than one-half longer 

 than wide, gradually declivous behind, the sutural angles scarcely divergent; 

 stria; rather indefinitely punctate, the intervals rugose, the narrower much 

 less coarsely and strongly than the wider. Length 12.0 mm. ; width 5.4 mm. 



New Mexico. Mr. Wickham. 



This distinct species may be identified by the peculiar disposi- 

 tion of the vestiture and other characters as given in the table. 

 One specimen. 



1.. alteriians n. sp. — Elongate and moderately stout, black throughout, 

 the integuments rather dull Avhen denuded; elytra each with a small spot of
