form beneath. Beak not very slender, opaque, striolate, punctured. Anteuufe 
testaceous, stout; second joint of funicle elongate, elul) dusky. Eyes more con- 
v'ex and moderately free behind. Head convex, finely and remotely ])unctured. 
concentrical ly rugulose, frontal puncture deep, Pi'otborax transverse, nearly 
twice as wide as long, bisinuate at the base and moderately constricted at the 
apex, transversely iin])ressed in front; sides broadly rounded; surface rather 
coarsely, but not very densely punctured. Elytra about one-fourth wider at the 
base than the prothorax and about one-half longer than wide; humeri rounded, 
sides nearly straight, separately rounded at a))ex ; strife fine on the disc, becom- 
ing wider and more deei>ly impressed on the sides; punctures small, slightly 
elongate and remote, larger and more closely ap])roximate on the sides; inter- 
spaces shining, plane on the disc, more convex towards the sides and apex, finely 
rugose, scutel and intra-humeral spot densely white pubescent; undenside re- 
motely punctured. Legs stouter than in suturalis ; thighs more strongly clavate, 
anterior and middle tibim bisinuate internally, posterior straight ; tarsi slender, 
rufo-piceous. Long. 3 mm.; .12 inch. 
J[ab . — Southern States (Patiii ?). 
A specimen in my collection, taken in this neighborhood (Hazleton, 
I’a.), measures scarcely 2.5 mm., but does not differ otherwise. Two 
specimens from Texas in Mr. Hike’s collection are a little less robust, 
with tw'o interrujjted lines of condensed pubescence on the elytra, 
thereby forming some similarity to subguttahis. From nigriuus, witii 
which the present species might be confounded, it is to be distin- 
guished by the less coarsely and less densely |)unctured prothorax, 
testaceous antennie and less slender legs. 
A. inoriiliis Lee. — Black, or piceou.s, robu.st and convex; pubescence fiue, 
sparse, a trifie more dense on the under surface. Beak moderately slender, 
punctured, shining towards the apex, median carinate line distinct, feebly 
striate from the base. Auteniife rather robust, rufo-piceous; scape and first joint 
of funicle rufous, second joint of funicle longer than the third, joints 3-7 trans- 
verse, outer joints wider. Eyes feebly convex and scarcely free behind. Head 
globo.se, occiput scarcely, front more distinctly punctured ; frontal ]mncture 
rather large; a transverse, impressed line on a level with the superior margin 
of the eyes. Prothorax scarcely one-half wider than long, moderately narrowed 
anteriorly, scarcely constricted at the apex ; sides almost straight behind, feebly 
rounded before the middle, base not bisinuate; surface coarsely and rather 
densely punctured. Elytra about one-third and rather suddenly wider at base 
than the jirothorax and less than one-half longer than wide ; the sides, seen from 
above, appear slightly emarginate behind the humerus, due to a feeble bulging 
outward of the ninth and tenth interspaces, rather suddenly nai-rowed to the 
apex, which is separately rounded and widely dehiscent, leaving the f)ygidiuin 
freely exposed ; striae fine, punctures moderately large and approximate; inter- 
spaces flat, suhopaque and rather strongly rugose; under surface ]iunctulate. 
Legs nut very slender, thighs moderately clavate, all armed with a small, acute 
tootk; tibiae slightly widened toward the apex, anterior and middle scarcely 
biemarginate, posterior straight; tarsi moderately slender, tooth of claw long and 
slender. Long. 2.6 — 2.8 mm.; .10— .11 inch.
