REVISION OP ELEODTINT — BLAISDELL. 57 



moderate subcariniform margins tliat converge, l)ecome contiguous, 

 and then evanescent at basal fourth. The grooves are not notably 

 concave. 



The mesofemora are moderately compressed, subfusiformly and 

 not strongly tumid (male), or gradually wider to near apex in outer 

 half (female) ; grooves not usually well defined, margins rather feeble. 



The metafemora are feebly widened outwardly w4th sides sub- 

 parallel; groov-es less defined, margins more or less asperulate and 

 evanescent near the middle. 



The protibise are scarcely compressed; all the tibial are without 

 tarsal grooves. 



The tarsi are moderately long and comparatively stout. 



The protarsi in the male are about .a third longer than in the 

 female. 



In the male the protarsi are about a fifth of their length shorter 

 than a mesotarsus. Joints subequal in width, two, three, and four 

 subequal in length and width, the fifth scarcely as long as the three 

 preceding taken together; the first not as long as the two following 

 combined. In the female the joints are relatively and proportionally 

 the same. 



The mesotarsi (male) are a little shorter than a metatarsus. Joints 

 one and five subequal in length; two and three are subequal in length, 

 the fourth a little shorter. 



A metatarsus (male) is about a fourth of its length shorter than 

 its metatibia. Joint one, three times as long as the third, the fourth 

 quite equal to the combined lengths of the second and third, the latter 

 two are subequal in length. In the female the joints are proportion- 

 ally the same. 



ELEODES AMPLA var. DOLOSA, new. 



Elongate-ovate, more or less shining, pronotum polished. 



Head with the frontal suture obsolete or more or less well marked. 



Pronotum quadrate, widest at the middle in both sexes, and a little 

 wider (jV) than long; disc polished and shining, very finely and 

 sparsely punctulate, punctures a little denser laterally; sides rather 

 evenly and not strongly arcuate from apex to base, obsoletely sinuate 

 at the basal fourth ; base more or less finel}^ and obsoletely beaded 

 and about a fourth wider than the apex. 



Elytra with the disc striato-punctate, strial punctures feebh' im- 

 pressed, each puncture moderate in size and separated by about theii- 

 own diameters; interstitial punctures small, distantly spaced, both 

 series more or less iri'eguhir at the i)eripherv. 



Legs long. Anterior tibial spurs moderately short. Otherwise as 

 in ampla.
