Lake Superior. Though the thorax is narrowed almosl from ihe base, and i> less 

 rounded on the sides than in the preceding, the chief character for di tinguishing them is 

 found in the punctuation of the thorax, which is lure much liner and more distant; the 

 pubescence instead of being brown is dark gray, appearing almosl black in certain lights. 

 The form and sculpture of tin 1 elytra are as in I',, fusculus. 



One specimen from Eagle Harbour, Lake Superior, is absolutely the same in form as 

 those above described; l>ut the .-true of the elytra are deep and strongly punctured, and 

 the antennae and feet are yellowish testaceous. In the absence of other specimens, I can- 

 not decide if it should rank as a distinct species.

 rounded: the elytra are parallel anteriorly, and obtuse)) rounded posteriorly: the tarsi
