244 GEO. H. HORN, M. J). 



Male. — Antennal club slightly longer than the stem. Abdomen 

 flattened at middle, penultimate segment with a straight transverse 

 ridge near the posterior margin, along which the segment is impressed. 

 Last segment vaguely concave and smooth. Inner spur of hind 

 tibia half the length of the outer and acute. 



Variations. — Two males are before me which agree in all par- 

 ticulars, except that one has the antennal joints so confused that but 

 nine can be counted ; in the other specimen the antennte are nor- 

 mally ten-jointed. 



This species is rather more slender and depressed than usual in 

 this group, and the punctuation of both thorax and elytra notably 

 coarse. The male ventral characters are not unlike those of the 

 usual form of fusca. 



Two specimens ; Duval Co., Florida, and eastern Kentucky. 



31. Li. Telieinens u. sp.— Oblong-oval, moderateiy robust, fuscous to pice- 

 ous, sliiuing. Clypeus slightly emarginate, somewhat concave, margin moder- 

 ately reflexed, surface rather coarsely, moderately closely punctate; front simi- 

 larly punctured. Thorax narrowed from the base, sides posteriorly nearly 

 straight, anteriorly arcuate, margin entire, with short ciliae, disc moderately 

 convex, the punctures relatively small and sparse, the median line smooth behind, 

 a feeble basal marginal sulcus from the hind angles. Elytra with punctures 

 similar to those of the thorax, but indistinct, except at base and sides, at middle 

 rugulose, sutural <;osta rather narrow, the discal costte feeble, the subniarginal 

 well developed and nearly reaching the humerus. Pygidium sparsely indistinctly 

 punctate, the punctures rather fine. Metasternum densely punctured, the hair 

 moderately long, but dense. Abdomen sparsely indistinctly punctate, the last 

 two segments more coarsely. Claws curved, the tooth median and strong, a little 

 longer in the female. Maxillary palpi rather stout, the last joint fusiform, not 

 impressed. Length .84 — .86 inch ; 21.5 mm. 



Male. — Antennal club not as long as the stem. Abdomen broadly 

 flattened and slightly concave, the penultimate segment (fig. 29) 

 with an arcuate ridge, projecting in the manner of a ledge, behind 

 which the segment is slightly concave and smooth. Last segment 

 broadly transversely impressed, the apex broadly emarginate. Pos- 

 terior femur broadly angulate at middle. Inner spur of hind tibia 

 long, somewhat curved and slightly hooked at tip, outer spur slender. 



Female. — Antennal club shorter than the funiculus. Penulti- 

 mate ventral segment transversely impressed near the j)(Jsterior bor- 

 der. Last segment broadly emarginate. Posterior femur not angu- 

 late, hind tarsi slightly shorter than the male. 



Vari.\tions. — Nothing has been observed in the small number 

 seen bevond color.
