PANSCOPUS (NEOPANSCOPUS) CARINATUS, new species. 



Described from two specimens from Detroit, Michigan, June (Hub- 

 bard and Schwarz). 



Length 7 mm.; width 3 mm. Piceous, densely clothed with yel- 

 lowish and brownish aeneous, striate scales and sparsely setose with 

 brown bristles; antennas red. Beak longer than head, gradually 

 increasing in width to alae; nasal plate defined b}'' an oval rim, basally 

 truncate and notched, concave. Head and beak strongly rugulosely 

 punctate, separated by a deep, broad, arcuate impression; beak 

 strongly carinate, with a large apical triangular, glabrous, punctate 

 area containing the nasal plate; surface densely squamose with 

 aeneous scales, darker on vertex, and sparsely.setose with curved bris- 

 tles. Scrobes deep, visible from above in entire length, evanescent 

 near eyes; scape reaching middle of eye, squamose and setose; funicle 

 elongate, sliining, sparsely setose, all joints longer than wide; club 

 oval, little longer than the two preceding joints. Eyes lateral, 

 slightly convex, oval, pointed below. Prothorax wider than long, 

 apically emarginate, basally truncate, laterally broadly convex, con- 

 stricted beliind apex; ocular lobes short and broad, without fimbriae; 

 surface covered with punctured setigerous tubercles and densely 

 squamose; median line broadly impressed; scales mottled but lighter 

 on sides. Scutellum minute, triangular. Elytra ^vith humeri 

 minutely angulate; sides slightly convex; over one-half longer than 

 wide; intervals convex, the alternate ones visibly a little more so; 

 all %vider than striae; striae not impressed, punctures round, closer 

 than their own diameters, each filled with a round striate scale ; surface
