and convergent towards the base. The stria punctures are mode- 

 rate to rather coarse, close, and at times somewhat irregular towards 

 the declivity. The interspaces are wide, with the punctures nearly 

 as large as those of the striae, and irregular, except that the first 

 three are uniseriately punctured towards the base. The inter- 

 spaces are granulate on the declivity. The suturai interspaces 

 are convex throughout. The elytra are rather densely pubescent, 

 more noticeably so on the declivity.

Dryocoetes mimitus, n. sp. — Length, lj^-234mm.; width, 

 %-%mm.; a small slender species, nearly black, with legs and 

 antennae lighter. 



The front is densely granulate-punctuate, clothed with long, 

 rather dense, yellow hair, less dense than in the female of eic- 

 Jwffi Hopk. Probably one sex only is represented. There is a 

 faint, traverse, linear impression across the middle of the front 

 at the level of the upper part of the eyes, and a small, central, 

 frontal tubercle. The eyes are slightly emarginate. The first 

 segment of the antennal funicle is larger than usual, and the club 

 truncate and strongly compressed. 



The pronotum is distinctly longer than wide, with the hind 

 margin very broadly rounded; the hind angles distinct; the sides 

 nearly parallel from the base to beyond the middle, then regularly 

 rounded in front; cephalic half punctured and rather coarsely 

 asperate, caudal half coarsely punctured on the disc, punctures 

 nearly as large as those of the elytral striae, and with minute 

 asperations on the sides; rather densely clothed with short yellow 

 hair, longer in front and very short on the disc. 



The elytra are slender, much longer than the pronotum, with 

 istinctly impressed striae of medium, close, rounded punctures; 

 the suturai striae more strongly impressed, parallel, more closely 

 punctured; the interspaces wider than the striae, flattened, rather 

 sparsely, uniseriately punctured and pubescent, with the punctures 

 smaller than those of the striae on the disc, but on the sides as large 

 as those of the striae, and granulate towards the declivity. The 

 declivity is convex, rapidly narrowed, compressed towards the apex, 

 with the suturai striae deeply impressed and the suturai interspaces 

 granulate; the other striae not impressed, and the striai and inter- 

 strial punctures equal, confused, and granulate. The pubescence 

 is much denser on the declivity. 



The fore tibiae are strongly widened distally, with four very 

 long teeth on the distal half of the other margin.
