the apex, witli three feebly elevated Hues from base to middle and finely corru- 
gate between, remotely punctured and somewhat shining toward the apex. An- 
tenme stout, rufo-testaceous ; first joint of funicle very robust, second longer 
than the third ; joints 3-7 rounded. Eyes feebly convex. Head convex, ini- 
punctured, finely rugose and sparsely pubescent between the eyes; fovea feeble, 
elongate. Prothorax wider than long, but little narrower at the apex than at 
base, sides rounded, widest about the middle ; base nearly straight, scutellar lobe 
obsolete; surface coarsely and rather closely punctured. Elytra a little wider 
at the base than the prothorax, subovate, widened to and more convex behind 
the middle, rather suddenly narrowed to and conjointly rounded at the apex; 
stripe fine, punctures moderately small and not closely apiu-oximate ; interspaces 
slightly convex and somewhat rugulose, pubescence scarcely perceptible; meso- 
sternum horizontal, subcariniform between and extending as far as the posterior 
margin of the coxpb ; under surface with a very few, small ininctures. Legs 
rather slender; femora all armed with a sharp, distinct tooth; tibipe slender, 
not widened toward the apex, articular surface very oblique, terminal armature 
more evident than in the preceding; claws armed similarly as in disshnilis, but 
the tooth is rather shorter and a little more obtuse. Long. 1.7 — 2 mm. ; .07 — .08 
inch.

A S and 9 specimen in INIr. Ulke’s collection. 
In form this species is not unlike Orchestes rafipes Lee. 
A. .juiiil>eriiili»$ Sanb. — Subovate, testaceous; rather densely clothed with 
pale yellowish pubescence. Beak darker, long and slender, shining, nearly 
straight and a trifle wider at the apex, striato-punctate from the base to about 
the middle, sparsely punctured in its distal half; scrobes commencing about the 
middle, straight. Autennge slender, first joint of funicle elongate, about as long 
as the three following joints united, second joint longer than the third ; joints 
.3-7 rounded, outer ones scarcely wider. Eyes rather convex, not free and sur- 
rounded by a line of yellow pubescence. Head convex, occiput finely and re- 
motely punctured and correspondingly pubescent, more densely pubescent be- 
tween the eyes ; frontal fovea elongate. Prothorax wider than long, not strongly 
narrowed in front, sides feebly rounded; base bisinuate ; surface finely and not 
closely punctured, pubescence equally distributed. Elytra scarcely wider at the 
base than the ])rothorax, slightly widened to behind the middle and thence 
strongly rounded to the apex ; stripe fine, feebly impressed, punctures small, not 
closely approximate ; interspaces wide, nearly flat, rugulose; an obli(jue, dark, 
denuded spot about the middle, extending from the fourth to the second inter- 
space; underside of trunk darker, sparsely punctured ; pygidium exposed. Legs 
slender, femora feebly clavate, all armed with a rather large, triangular tooth ; 
tibipe long and slender, nearly straight and but little widened towards the apex ; 
claws blackish, tooth short, acute. Long. 2.2 2.8 mm.; .09 — .11 inch. 
Hub. — Massachusetts, West Virginia, ^Maryland, Georgia. 
The anterior coxte are more prominent than usual, and the ventral 
sutures curved slightly backward at the sides ; the beak, also, in re- 
pose seems to be deflected further backward than is usual among 
other members of this tribe.
