REVISION OF ELEODIINI BLAISDELL. 69 



Measurements. — Males: Length, 14.5 mm.; width, (J mm. Females: 

 Length, 14-16 mm. ; width, T-<S nnn. 



Genital eharacters. male. — Edeagophore subfusiform and rather 

 elongate, not arched. 



Basale oval-oblong, evenly convex, with sides feebly arcuate. 



Apicale triangular, slightly elongate; surface evenly convex with a 

 median membranous groove extending from near the tip almost to 

 the base, where it becomes slightly less membranous; sides arcuate 

 in basal half, thence more or less sinuate to apex, the latter very 

 gradually and slightly decurved and very narrowly rounded. 



Sternite quite parabolic in outline. Each lobe with the external 

 border quite evenly arcuate; apex rather narrowly rounded, angle 

 not evident; internal border short, straight and oblique; surface 

 slightly convex, glabrous, rather coarsely punctate in apical half, 

 setose, settle moderate in length; punctures denser and seta^ longer at 

 apex. INIembrane slightly setose at bottom of the sinus. 



Female. — Genital segment quadrate, somewhat depressed, setose 

 and not strongly chitinized. 



Valrula (Plate 4, fig. 24.) — Dorsal plate oblong and glabrous; 

 surface plane, finely and sparsely punctate, with rather short reclin- 

 ing seta' arising from the same; external border straight or feebly 

 sinuous, gradually explanate from the basal third to the apical 

 margin, the latter rounded and explanately produced upon the ex- 

 ternal lobe in outer three-fourths, directly and arcuately continuous 

 with the external border; external apical lobe rather feebly mem- 

 branous beneath and concealed from view from above; internal lobe 

 moderate and separated from the external by a small sinuation in the 

 apical margin; internal border straight or sinuous; apical region 

 set with a few long, flying, soft seta?. 



Append a r/e slightly visible from above, directed backward and 

 feebly inward, conico-mammilliform. Eossa inferior, rather large, 

 and fringed with long, flying seta\ 



Superior pudendal niemhrane longitudinally rugulose and reaching 

 to the base of the internal apical lobe. 



Bas(d prominences not noticeable. 



Ventrolateral surface not strongly convex in basal moiety, more or 

 less concave laterally before the apex, but not transversely so; sub- 

 marginal groove broad and shallow beneath the explanate external 

 border of the dorsal plate and apical lobe, meeting the fossa at its 

 external edge; external apical lobe not strongly developed beneath; 

 surface finely and irregularly punctulate and very finely setose. Inter- 

 nal margins of the valves contiguous for a short distance at base and 

 apex, between which the fissure is rather broadly fusiform, and closed 

 in basal two-thirds by the inferior pudendal membrane, the latter 

 feeblv rugulose.
