40 COLEOPTERA RHYNCHOPHORA. 



punctate, the punctures shallow and more or less confluent longitudin- 

 ally ; a small interocular fovea. Antennae inserted a little beyond the 

 middle of the beak, first and second funicular joints equal, the first 

 scarcely stouter, each equal in length to the third and fourth com- 

 bined. Prothorax conical, nearly as long as wide, sides very feebly 

 arcuate and regularly convergent from the base ; surface evenly con- 

 vex except for a small feeble antescutellar impression ; punctuation fine 

 and not very distinct, with sparser somewhat larger punctures inter- 

 mixed. Elytra slightly wider than the thorax, three times as long as 

 wide and almost four times as long as the prothorax, sides parallel 

 and straight, humeral angles evident, disk with unimpressed rows of 

 fine subelongate punctures. Legs rather slender, thinly and evenly 

 gray pubescent. Length, 13.5 mm. ; width, 3.25 mm. 



Type. — From Chiricahua Mountains, Arizona. 



A single example of uncertain sex collected and given me 

 by Mr. V. L. Clemence. This species is not very closely 

 allied to any of our previously described species, but will go 

 w^ith those species under " 10 " in Casey's table. It is more 

 elongate than any other known to me. 



L. peuinsularis n. sp. — Moderately slender, subcylindrical, black, 

 scarcely shining, evenly rather thinly clothed throughout with very 

 fine, short cinereous recumbent hair, with a few sparse, short, but 

 longer erect hairs visible in profile, especially on the declivity of the 

 elytra. Beak (c?) about four-fifths as long as the prothorax, cylindri- 

 cal, moderately stout, feebly curved, rather coarsely punctate, with 

 intermixed finer punctures ; in the 9 as long as the prothorax, more 

 slender and shining, with the apical parts finely and sparsely punc- 

 tate ; median line obtusely prominent basally but scarcely carinate. 

 Antennae inserted slightly beyond the middle Cc?), or a little behind 

 the middle ( 9 ); first and second funicular joints subequal, each about 

 as long as the third and fourth united. Head with sparse duplex 

 punctuation, closer in the c? ; frontal fovea strong but small. Pro- 

 thorax subquadrate, a little wider than long, sides just visibly conver- 

 gent and straight, abruptly constricted near the apex; punctuation 

 rather sparse and coarse, the interspaces finely densely punctulate ; 

 basal impression small and feeble. Elytra a little more than two and 

 one-half times as long as wide, just perceptibly wider than the pro- 

 thorax and about three times as long ; humeral prominence very small 

 and obtuse, sides straight and parallel in basal three-fifths, apex feebly 

 narrowly notched, serial punctures moderately coarse. Pubescence 

 beneath a little longer and denser than above. Length, 10.6-11.3 

 mm. ; width, 2.9-3.1 mm. 



Type. — cf ; from San Jose del Cabo, Lower California 

 (Fuchs); one pair.
