l)oth on the ujipei' and under surface, and the ])uhescence not con- 
densed in patterns or markings. 
They may be easily distinguished as follows: 
Diirk brown or black. 
Elytra not wider behind, pubescence yellow, njesosternum not carinate. 
diMNiini liN. 
Elytra wider behind, pubescence very .sparse, whitish, mesosterninu carinate. 
orcliestoidesi. 
Testaceous, elytra with a dark, oblicjne sj)ot .jiiiii|>ei'inui!$. 
n. sp. — Elongate oval, brown ; head, rostrum and underside 
of trunk nearly black, thinly clothed above with yellow pubescence, underside 
of thoi'ax densely ])ul>escent. Beak long and slender, curved, not shining, 
neither punctured nor striate, a few short hairs at the base. Antennfe fuscous, 
rather robust, inserted about the middle ( 9 1 of the rostrum ; first joint of fu- 
nicle long and stout, second longer than the third ; joints 3-7 rounded and grad- 
ually wider, club closely articulate. Eyes feebly convex, posterior margin not 
at all free. Head convex, finely rngulose, with a few small, remote, piliferous 
punctures, thinly pubescent between the eyes; frontal fovea small, elongate. 
Prothorax much wider than long ; sides nearly straight behind the middle, 
rather strongly narrowed in front and feebly constricted at the tip; base scarcely 
emarginate each side, and hardly produced in front of the scutellum ; surface 
not very densely punctured, punctures moderate. Elytra about one-fourth wider 
at the base than the prothorax, oblong oval, sides feebly rounded, not wider pos- 
teriorly and gradually rounded to apex, wiiich is dehiscent; strise moderately 
iiujuessed, punctures small, approximate; interspaces slightly convex, rngulose; 
scutel and intra-humeral spot more demsely pubescent; the mesosteruum is de- 
clivous in front, densely ])ubescent and extends a little beyond the middle be- 
tw’een the coxse ; abdomen sparsely jmbescent and finely punctured. Legs 
rather slender, thighs feebly clavate, anterior with a small, spiniform tooth; 
middle scarcely toothed ; the tibije are slightly widened from base to apex, 
straight, with the articular surface very oblique and the apical armature smaller 
than usual ; tarsi moderately slender, first joint longer than the third ; claws 
armed with a very slender tooth, parallel with its fellow, and does not reach to 
the middle of the claw. Long. 3 mm.; .12 inch. 
Hab. — Virginia. 
A single 9 in my collection found among a lot of loose material 
sent me years ago hy Mr. H. Ulke, of Washington, and labeled 
“ Virginia.” 
This species is an exact reproduction of A. ungularis in form, color 
and pubescence, but for the 7-jointed funicle, absence of elytral 
fascia and very slender tooth of claw, it could not possibly be dis- 
tinguished. The fifth ventral segment is longer than the preceding. 
A. orcliesloides n. sp. — Elongate-ovate, black, somewhat shining, and 
very thinly clothed wMth fine, white pubescence, which is scarcely more dense 
on the under surface than above. Beak rather stout, slightly widened tow’ard
