pale scales just before the middle. Head less than one-half as wide as the pro- 

 thorax, short, broadly conical, rather coarsely and closely punctate, scarcely 

 at all rugose; eyes moderately convex, separated on the front by more than 

 twice their own width, the interocular fovea in the form of a short and deep 

 canaliculation ; beak as long as the prothorax, rather stout and convex, parallel, 

 the apical dilatation somewhat abrupt, surface coarsely, closely and unevenly 

 punctate, the dorsal carina subentire but feebly elevated ; antennse long and 

 stout, the two basal joints of the funicle equal and elongate, the next four 

 small, equal and subglobular, the seventh wider, forming a broad support for 

 the elongate and pointed club, as usual. Prothorax one- fifth wider than long, 

 the sides parallel and feebly sinuate to about apical third, then rapidly 

 rounded and convergent to the broadly subtubulate apex, which is three-fourths 

 as wide as the base; disk very densely punctato-rugose, the median carina dis- 

 tinct throughout. Elytra oval, one-half longer than wide, three-fourths wider 

 than the prothorax, the sides parallel and broadly arcuate, converging toward 

 the humeral angles which are but little exisosed ; disk gradually declivous be- 

 hind, the apex conjointly rounded, the sutural angles not at all produced; 

 alternate intervals narrower, more depressed and much more finely sculptured, 

 the broader not coarsely rugose. Length 10.0-11.3 mm. ; width 4.4-4.8 mm.

Distinguishable from canadensis b}' its more elongate form, 

 much more gradual!}' and feebly declivous apical parts of the 

 elytra, more obtuse rostral carina and moi'e fineh' and less

 almost completely denuded throughout, so that it is impossible 

 to describe the vestiture. 



I,, canadensis n. sp. — Stout, suboval, strongly convex, black, the ru- 

 gosities polished; vestiture consisting of moderately dense slender scales, pale 

 brownish in color, variegated with nubilate patches of white toward the sides 

 of the elytra, with a white spot before the middle of each, the narrower inter- 

 vals principally clothed with brown scales; oblique vittje of the prothorax 

 narrow and white. Head densely clothed with long hair-like brownish squam- 

 ules, a large median area sparsely punctate, shining and almost glabrous, the 

 fovea in the form of a deep elongate sulcus; eyes convex, separated by fully 

 twice their own width; beak stout, slightly flattened, a little longer than the 

 prothorax, bent and rather rapidly dilated toward apex, roughly punctato-ru- 

 gose, the carina strong and entire; antennae with the two basal joints of the 

 funicle elongate and equal. Prothorax only slightly wider than long, the sides 

 parallel and slightly uneven to about apical third, then rounded to the broadly 

 subtubulate and truncate apex; disk very roughly ajid tubercular ly rugose, 

 the carina strong, extending verj^ nearly to the basal margin. Elytra less than 

 one-half longer than wide, fully twice as wide as the prothorax, obtusely 

 rounded behind, the suture with a very minute notch, the angles not promi- 

 nent; umbones feeble, each marked by a feeble point of white scales; humeri
