REVISIOlSr OF ELEODIINI BLAISDELL, 333 



The post-coxal portion of the first abdominal segment is equal in 

 length to the process, also to that of the third (male). 



In the male the second segment is a third of its length longer than 

 the fourth; in the female the second is twice as long as the fourth 

 and a little longer than the third. 



The tarsi are slender and moderate in length. 



The protarsi are about two-fifths (male) to a fourth (female) of 

 their length shorter than a mesotarsus. 



The mesotarsi are about a seventh (male) to a fifth (female) of 

 their length shorter than a metatarsus. 



The metatarsi are about a fourth (male) to two-thirds (female) 

 of their length shorter than their respective metatibiaj.

Oblong-ovate, robust, elytra coarsely and submuricately j^unctate 

 centrally and tuberculate laterally; surface dull or feebly shining. 



Head about twice as wide as long, more or less feebly convex, 

 slightly impressed laterally and often along the frontal suture, which 

 is generally evident as a more or less smooth line, sides of the frons 

 not usually prominent, more or less evenly, rather densely and some- 

 wdiat finely punctate, punctures slightly denser laterally. Antennce 

 rather stout, moderate in length, scarcely compressed, very feebly and 

 gradually widened in outer four joints, third joint comparatively 

 short and scarcely as long as the next two combined, fourth to the 

 eighth, inclusive, quite equal, ninth and tenth feebly transversely 

 oval, eleventh short-ovate. 



Pronotum somewhat transversely oblong-oval in outline, two- 

 sevenths to a third wider than long, widest at the middle ; disc mod- 

 erately to rather strongly and evenly convex, quite densely, evenly, or 

 irregularly punctate, pimctures moderately coarse, becoming granu- 

 late at the sides; ajjex evenly and moderately emarginate, obsoletely 

 margined ; sides more or less strongly arcuate and constricted at basal 

 twelfth or eighth, thence briefly straight or feebly oblique to the basal 

 angles, marginal bead rather thin and fine, at times somewhat coarser 

 and more or less entire and reflexed; base slightly rounded and not 

 very coarsely beaded, equal to or a fourth wider than the apex and 

 about equal to the length ; apical angles subacute to feebly rounded 

 and rather prominent anteriorly ; basal angles minute, obtuse or rec- 

 tangular, feebly prominent at times. 



Profleurce opaque, not densely muricato-granulate, and more or less 

 rugulose about the acetabular convexities.
