at middle, coarsely but sparsely punctured. Mesosteruum flat, coarsely 

 punctured, stria interrupted, metasternum finely alutaceous, sparsely 

 punctured, suture fine but distinct. Legs pale rufous, anterior tibiae

Oval, moderately convex, piceous, shining. Head sparsely and minutely 

 punctulate. Thorax sparsely and finely punctulate, at base a transverse. 

 nearly straight row of punctures extending beyond the middle of each 

 elytra. Elytra sparsely punctured, more coarsely than the thorax, at 

 apex slightly aciculate, marginal stria entire, moderately deep. Fygi- 

 dium finely transversely strigose and sparsely punctured. Prosternum 

 scarcely longer than wide, sparsely punctured, mesosteruum flat, coarsely 

 punctured, stria interrupted, metasternum coarsely punctured, suture 

 distinct. Anterior tibiae slightly dilated at apex. Length .04 inch ; 1 mm. 



Scarcely as long as discus, but more oval and convex, and with the 

 elytra more coarsely punctured with deeper marginal stria. 



Occurs in the Middle and Southern States.

Oval, convex, brownish, shining. Head minutely punctulate. Thorax 

 very finely and sparsely punctured, at base a short row of punctures, 

 nearly straight close to the basal margin and not attaining the middle of 

 the elytra. Elytra coarsely punctured, punctures finer and slio-fitly 

 aciculate at apex, disc with two oblique very deeply impressed striae, 

 the inner longer and extending to middle and between the tips of the 

 two strife the rudiment of another, marginal stria deep, entire. Pygidium 

 finely alutaceous. Prosternum nearly twice as long as wide at middle 

 very sparsely punctured. Mesosternal stria entire, meso- and meta- 

 sternum coarsely punctured, suture very fine. Anterior tibia} slender 

 Length .03 inch ; .75 mm. 



Closely allied to strigosus, but differs by the much more finely punc 

 tured thorax, deep dorsal and marginal stria. The latter stria is very 

 much deeper at base, and there appears to be an additional stria at that 

 point, parallel with and very close to it. In size it is equal to strigosus 



Georgia and Louisiana. Respectfully dedicated to M. W Sxlle
