convex, very finely and rather more sparsely jjunctate and less dull, the sixth 

 segment shining and with a transverse row of erect discal setaj. Leys mode- 

 rate. Length 0.8 mm. 



Texas (Austin 1). 



Very easily distinguishable by its small size, piceous-black color, 

 with pale antennae, and more strongly granulose integuments. 



T. flaTicorilis Lee. — Trans. Am. Ent. Soc, VI, p. 240. — Rather slender, 

 somewhat pale, castaneous^ abdomen piceous-black ; legs and antennae 

 throughout pale flavate ; integuments alutaceous. Head nearly as long as 

 wide, very feebly convex, excessively minutely and very densely punctate ; 

 tuberculations very small, rather feeble, widely distant; suture distinct; 

 antennae as long as the head and prothorax, rather robust, very feebly incras- 

 sate, second joint scarcely twice as long as wide and barely as long as the next 

 two together, third decidedly longer than wide, fourth and sixth quadrate and 

 but slightly smaller than the fifth, outer joints just visibly transverse, eleventh 

 ovdidal, gradually pointed, three-fourths longer than wide ; eyes moderate, 

 feebly convex. Prothorax very slightly wider than the head, slightly less 

 than one-half wider than long ; sides parallel and very feebly arcuate ; base 

 transversely, strongly arcuate, angles very broadly rounded ; apex very feebly, 

 broadly sinuate, angles not distinctly rounded ; disk very feebly, evenly con- 

 vex, punctured like the head and without trace of impressions. Elytra parallel, 

 a little wider than long, just visibly wider and one- third longer than the 

 prothorax, depressed, excessively densely punctato-granulose, the sculpture 

 being decidedly finer and denser than that of the prothorax, the recumbent 

 pubescence excessively fine and not distinct, the erect sparser hairs distinct. 

 Abdomen short, fully as wide as the elytra ; sides parallel, straight ; border 

 narrow, moderate in depth ; surface more coarsely punctato-reticulate, the sixtl' 

 dorsal broadly, feebly sinuate in the middle. Leys robust. Length 0.9 mm. 



New York (Coney Island). Cab. LeConte. 



The paler color, larger, relatively longer prothorax, and decidedly 

 shorter elytra, will serve to separate this species from any other of 

 the present section of the genus. The antennae are just perceptibly 

 darker toward tip, and the abdominal punctuation is quite coarse, 

 somewhat dense and very distinct. 



T. grossilllis n. sp. — Rather slender, parallel, piceous-black, the ante- 

 rior portions with a very feeble castaneous tinge ; legs and antennae flavate ; 

 integuments dull. Head fully as long as wide, very feebly convex, very 

 minutely and densely punctate, the punctures not absolutely in contact ; 

 tuberculations very feeble ; eyes moderate, feebly convex, the sides behind 

 them feebly convergent to the neck ; antennae as long as the head and pro- 

 thorax, rather feebly incrassate, second joint fully as long as the next two, 

 more than twice as long as wide, third distinctly longer than wide, fourth 

 and sixth subequal, very slightly transverse, fifth more robust, slightly longer
