64 FAMILY III. — CORIMEL^NID^E. 



25 ( — ). Galgupha ovalis Hussey, 1925, 62. 



Broadly oval, slightly obovate. Black, strongly shining; head, scutel- 

 lum and elytra tinged with bronze; antennae and tarsi reddish-brown. 

 Upper surface finely and sparsely punctate, more vaguely so on disks of 

 pronotum and scutellum. Head across the eyes twice as wide as long, 

 flattened each side of apical third of tylus; beak reaching middle coxae. 

 Pronotum almost twice as wide as long, sides strongly deflexed, their 

 margins evenly rounded. Corium as in nitiduloides, the impression 

 shallower and more prolonged backward. Ventrals coarsely, unevenly 

 and shallowly punctate. Sixth ventral of male very deep at center, its 

 inner apical angles depressed next to the genital, the latter four times 

 as wide as long. Other characters as in key. Length, 4.5 mm. 



Macon, Ga., April 6; type and paratype (Hussey). Known 

 only from that, the type locality. Allied to nitiduloides, "but 

 proportionally broader at humeral angles and more distinctly 

 narrowed behind, third antennal shorter, oblique impressions 

 on juga wanting, margins of head not reflexed and sixth ventral 

 of male very different." (Hussey). 



26 ( — ). Galgupha aterrima Malloch, 1919, 210. 



Closely allied to nitiduloides and distinguished mainly by the char- 

 acters given in key. Form more oblong-oval. Color the same. Apex 

 of head more distinctly margined, the margin reflexed. Genital plate of 

 male with hind margin more concave and rather strongly reflexed 

 Length, 4.2—4.7 mm.; width, 3 — 3.2 mm. 



Knox Co., Ind., Sept. 12 (W. S. B.). Dongola, 111., May 10. 

 Recorded by Malloch from numerous stations in Illinois, April 

 12 — June 14; also from Beltsville, Md. He states: "This is 

 very probably the form referred to by Van Duzee (1904, 5) 

 as nitiduloides var." The specimens of Van Duzee were from 

 Buffalo, N. Y., and New Jersey. 



27 (31). Galgupha nigra (Dallas), 1851, 57. 



Rounded or broadly oval, convex. Black with a slight brassy tinge, 

 antennae reddish-brown to fuscous ; legs dark reddish-brown to piceous, 

 tarsi paler. Head one-half wider across the eyes than long, its margins 

 reflexed, not sinuate; cheeks finely, densely, confluently punctate. Prono- 

 tum two-thirds wider than long, sides broadly rounded, disk finely, 

 densely, aciculately punctate, giving it a subopaque, shagreened appear- 

 ance. Scutellum with disk more finely, less closely punctate and with a 

 rather deep coarsely punctate depression behind each basal angle, the 

 sides and apical third strongly declivent and more densely punctate. 

 Elytra sparsely and finely punctate, the corium with external ridge
