which is not constricted, smooth dorsal line short, just in front of the middle; 
punctures rather small and close set. Elytra elongate, about one-fourth wider 
at the base than the prothorax ; sides nearly straight for three-fifths their length, 
thence graduallj" narrowed to apex, w'hich is subacuminate ; strise moderately 
impressed, punctures small, closely approximate; inter.spaces nrarly flat; pu- 
bescence nearly equally distributed ; underside finely punctured and pubescent. 
Legs rather slender, thighs feebly clavate, anterior armed with a small acute 
tooth, which is represented on the middle and hind pair by an acute angle, less 
marked on the hind femur; tarsi less robust, fourth joint extending considerably 
beyond the third ; claws armed beneath with a short obtuse tooth. Long. 2.8-- 
3 mm. ; .11 — .12 inch. 
Hah. — Arizona, Kentucky. 
Two specimens, male and female, in Dr. klorn’s collection. A 
very distinct species and unmistakable members of the present genus. 
The rather slender beak and toothed femora are anomalous.

The eyes clo.sely approximate above and the saltatorial })o.sterior 
femora make the recognition of the species of this genus an easy 
matter. "J'he beak, variable in length and thickness, lies between 
the anterior legs during repose : the scrobes commencing about the 
middle or even near the base; scape of anteniue not long ; funicle 
6- or 7-jointed. The prothorax is relatively small. The elytra oval 
or elongate-oval, wider than the prothorax, with the humeri rounded. 
In reviewing the species I shall give only sufficient descriptive 
matter which, in connection with the synoptic table, will enable the 
student to identify his material. To the species heretofore known I 
have to add one new species. 
They may be tabulated as follows : 
Funicle of autennse 7-jointed. 
Elytra with patterns of pale pubescence. 
An anterior and posterior transverse baud, always con.s]iicuous. 
Anterior fascia wide, legs partly rufous epliippiaf US. 
.\nterior fascia narrower; legs entirely black ssilicis. 
A faint subbasal, transverse band only iiigor. 
Elytra unicolorou.s, black. 
Hind angles of jtrothorax rounded or rectangular, elytra without lateral 
spine parvioollis. 
Hind angles of prothorax acute; elytra with a subhnmeral spine. 
arinatiis. 
Funicle 6-jointed. 
Hind femora strongly thickened. 
Pubescence long and coarse, brownish pul»t*i*ulus. 
Pubescence fine, sparse and whitish. 
Black, thoracic jiunctures large, irregular; elytral interspaces coarsely 
rugose can us.
