PANSCOPUS (PANSCOPIDIUS) DENTIPES, new species. 



Described from a single specimen collected by J. W. Hungate at 

 Pullman, Washington, April 12, 1894. 



It resembles squamosus in many respects and is of the same size 

 and form. It differs in the following respects: Body black, sparsely 

 clad with scales and setae; appendages reddish. Alternate elytral 

 intervals not more prominent; intervals about the same width as the 

 striae; strial punctures large, separated by much less than their own 

 width; intervals very sparsely squamose and setose. Undersides 

 closely punctate, very finely setose. Fu*st abdominal suture 

 arcuate; second segment longer than either third or fourth. All 

 tibiae denticulate.
