pressed; punctures moderate, rather remote, and not concealed by the scales; 
interspaces flat, ruffulose. Scales small, uniform in color. Scutellum, scutellar 
and intra-humeral s])ot more densely scaly. An oblique, augulated anterior and 
a transverse posterior line coalescing near the suture and enclosing a partially 
denuded area. Thighs robust, armed with a suhspiniform tooth, smaller on the 
hind pair. The tibia} are hisinuate internally; posterior of % curved inward 
near the apex. Claws blackish. Long. 2.2 mm. ; .09 inch.

It gives me itleasure to dedicate this species to my friend and col- 
league, Dr. J. Hamilton, whose zeal in behalf of entomology is well 
known. 
Three specimens; coll, of Dr. Hamilton. The second ventral 
segment is a little longer than the third or fourth, and the fifth a 
little shorter than the two preceding segments united. It is closely 
related to the following species : 
4. A. piisilliis Lee. — Not very unlike the former, from which it differs in 
the following characters; much smaller, more broadly oval ; ferruginous to pi- 
ceous. The scales are smaller, and the pubescence more conspicuous. Front less 
squamous; fovea obsolete. Antennfe a trifle stouter; second joint of funicle 
stout and but a trifle longer than the third ; outer joints more distinctly wider. 
Elytra more distinctly wider at base than the prothorax and scarcely longer than 
wide. Markings obscure, almost obsolete. The tooth on the hind femur is 
scarcely noticeable. Tihife feebly l)isinuate internally. The third and fourth 
ventral segments are very short in the male; the second longer than the first 
behind the cox®, and the fifth as long as the two preceding segments together. 
In the female the second and fifth segments are about equal, the others shorter. 
Long. 1.3 -2 mm. ; .05 — .08 inch. 
Hub. — Massachusetts. 
Subgenus Anthonomorphus. 
Distinguished from the other suhgenera by the eyes, which are 
small, rubrostral in their position and somewhat approximate upon 
the front. The beak, which is slender, has four grooves or deep 
strife, extending from the base to about the insertion of the antennte. 
.Scape of anteniife slender ; funicle rather stout, more so in the female ; 
first and second joints elongate, joints 3-7 short, about as long as 
wide (%), or somewhat transverse ( 9 )• The head is conical ; front 
foveate. Prothorax wider than long, strongly narrowed in front ; 
base hisinuate, emarginate at its antero-inferior margin, giving the 
appearance of feeble postocular lobes; surface coarsely punctured. 
The elytra are elongate-oval, but little wider at the base than the 
prothorax. lMe.sostertium narrow between the coxfe. Ventral seg- 
ments subequal, third and fourth hut little shorter than the others.
