ately robust-, sliortor than head and i)r()n()tum to}>;ether (54 to (>2;, the first 
segment reaching apical thinl of tylus, the second slightly shorter than dis- 
tance between eyes (20 to 21); rostrum extending slightly beyond lniddl(^ of 
l)rosternuni, the ai)ical segment slender. Pronotum (fig. 5d) rather flat, the 
lateral margins irregularly and finely crenulate, well expanded and a little 
reflexed; carinae slightly elevated. >scutellum elongate, much longer than 
pronotum (48 to 30), sides straight and slightly convergent to apical third, 
then slightly arcuate to rather broatl ai)ex, not strongly elevated; basal two- 
fifths of <lisc slightly elevated, with very low median carina e.xtending nearly 
to middle. Hemielytra (9) but slightly narrowed toward apex, extending 
to middle of dorsal genital segment, corium to base of fourth; exocorium 
moderately exjianded and reflexed at base; mesocorium with one, endo- 
corium without distinct transverse veins.

9 (fig. 5a). Posterior margin of dorsal genital segment transverse, with a 
rather deep roumled notch at middle; abdomen rather broad, oblong-oval, 
widoist at fourth segment. Length, 8.3 mm. 
Type specimen (Leadvillc, C'olorado) in Herg;r()tli’s collection. 
Of this species l)ut two speeiniens are known, the typo, which 
I have examined, and a perfectly similar example from (Quebec, 
in my collection. In describing; the species Bergroth (1913) 
writes: “A plain-looking species, but not closely allied to any 
described North American form.” It is peculiar in color and all 
structural characters and forms one of the isolated grou})s which 
it seems necessary to place at the head of the genus.
