 Joints of tarsus with more numerous similar hairs. Second division

Newportia longitarsis sylvae, subsp. nov. 



General color ochre-yellow, most of the dorsal plates being darker, 

 more reddish, along caudal borders. Head darker, of a more ferru- 

 ginous tinge. Antennae and legs yellowish. 



Head deeply and regularly, but not densely, punctate. The paired 

 submedian sulci present only as short impressions at caudal border; 

 a short, wider, transverse furrow, in front of their anterior ends. A 

 rather fine median longitudinal furrow at anterior end. 



Antennae composed of from fifteen to seventeen articles, there 

 being in one type specimen fifteen in the right antenna and sixteen in 

 the left, one of those in the latter being, however, of double length and 

 apparently representative of two normal articles. None of the articles 

 shining or glabrous; but the hairs of the first two distinctly more 

 sparse, those of third and fourth more dense, but only the fifth and 

 subsequent articles fully clothed in the usual manner. 



Prosternum with anterior margin nearly straight, being a little more
