HYLOCURUS CRINITUS, new species 

 Plate 20, Figures 3, 4 



Female. — Dark reddish brown, hairy, rather shining, 2.52 mm. 

 long, 2.89 times as long as wide; very distinct from any other North 

 American form but moderately closely allied to sclvwarzi Blackman. 



Frons convex above, subopaque, finely granulate-punctate, feebly, 

 transversely impressed below, finely granulate and subopaque at 

 sides, finely punctate and shining in median area ; hairs of moderate 

 length, rather sparse. Eye short oval, inner margin entire, facets 

 moderate. Antenna (pi. 29, fig. 3) with 6-segmented funicle, 1.3 times 

 as long as club ; club long oval, 1.58 times as long as wide, first two 

 sutures strongly indicated by sinuate rows of setae. 



Pronotum 1.07 times as long as wide, widest on posterior third, 

 posterior outline nearly straight, posterior angles slightly rounded; 

 sides subparallel behind, feebly constricted anterior to middle, mod- 

 erately broadly rounded in front, anterior margin with 10 distinct 

 serrations; anterior area with numerous irregularly arranged asper- 

 ities, with numerous moderate hairs; summit moderately high; 

 posterior area subopaque to weakly shining; granulate-punctate, 

 interstices reticulate, impressed at each side just behind summit; 

 vestiture of rather sparse, short hairs on most of disk, much longer 

 "and more numerous in the two lateral impressions ; sides more 

 roughly punctate-granulate. 



Elytra slightly wider than pronotum and 1.76 times as long, 1.80 

 times as long as wide; sides nearly straight and subparallel on 

 anterior three-fourths, strongly rounded posterolaterally, with a 

 broad, rather short, sutural acumination; surface rather brightly 

 shining; striae impressed, punctures large and close, but rather 

 shallow, with fine, short hairs; interspaces narrow, rugose-granulate, 

 finely punctured, with erect hairs longer than on striae, becoming 

 slightly coarser, more abundant, and much longer posteriorly. 

 Declivity rather steeply arched, coarsely, ruggedly punctured; all 

 interspaces more or less granulate; third and ninth interspaces 

 elevated, with coarser granules; all of interspaces bearing numerous 

 rather long, conspicuous, moderately coarse hairs ; sutural apex prom- 

 inent, granulate, its sides meeting at an angle of more than 90°.
