KEVISION OF ELEODIINI BLAISDELL. 265 



posteriorly. Abdomen strongly convex, not impressed. Posterior 

 tibiae scarcely arcuate. 



Measurements. — J/rt^t',s'/ Length, 21.5-28 mm.; >Yidth, 7-9.5 mm. 

 Females: Length, 21-28 mm.; width, 7.5-10.5 mm. 



Genital characters., m«?6'.— Edeagophore of the usual depressed 

 oblong-ovate form, and slender. 



Basale not arched, sides nearly parallel ; surface evenly convex, 

 scarcely gibbous. 



Apicale triangular, slightly elongate, feebly decurved; surface 

 evenly convex, feebly depressed, with a linear groove in apical half 

 and not extending upon the apex ; sides evenly and very moderately 

 arcuate; apex very narrowly rounded and subacute; base broadly 

 lobed at the middle, scarcely sinuate laterally. 



Stern ite moderately transverse. Each lobe subparabolic with the 

 external border evenly arctuite and moderately converging to apex; 

 apical margin rather broadly rounded, angle scarcely evident; in- 

 ternal border subarcuate; surface feebly convex and rather densely 

 punctate and setose ; setse long and quite dense at apical margin. 

 Membrane not setose across the bottom of the sinus. 



Female. — Genital segment subtrapezoiclal, moderate in size, and 

 setose. 



Valvula. — Dorsal plate oblong, concave internal border rather 

 strongly reflexed in apical two-thirds and impunctate, longitudinally 

 subcanaliculate external to the same; surface glabrous, finely, evenly, 

 and sparsely punctate and setose in apical two-thirds; setse reclinate 

 and rather short; external border feebly arcuate; internal margin 

 more or less arcuate, sinuate near base ; apical margin evenly arcuate, 

 angle rounded. Apex rather long, subacute at tip, not densely 

 punctate, setffi small and slightly denser at tip; sui^erior margin of 

 the fossa set with rather long setae, not denser at angle. 



Appendage flattened, moderately wide, subconico-semiellipsoidal, 

 and covered with rather long seta? in apical half. 



Superior pudendal memhrane reaching to the middle of the dorsal 

 plate and longitudinally rugulose. 



Basal protuberances moderate. 



Ventrolateral surfaces. — Body slightly inflated, not strongly con- 

 cave laterally, but feebly transversely so before the apices; surface 

 finely and sparsely punctate, setose, setae short, longer on the inferior 

 margin of the fossa. Submarginal groove small ; external margin of 

 the dorsal plate slightly prominent laterally. Internal margins of 

 the valves contiguous in basal third. Genital fissure narrowly fusi- 

 form, inferior pudendal membrane visible in the basal half. 



Variations. — -Apex small; appendage as long as the apex and sub- 

 conical; apical margin of the dorsal plate less arcuate, with angle
