tioii of Mr. E. A. Schwarz. The shai'j)ly defined, narrow, thoracic 
and elytral vittaj, give this insect a rather striking appearance. 
K. julsporsiis u. sp. — Elongate-oval, dull black, thinly clothed with small, 
grayish white scales, intermixed with a fine, short pubescence. Beak long and 
moderately slender, curved and punctured ; median carina and a stria each side 
extending from the base to about the middle; scrobes deep. Antenuse slender, 
rufo-piceous ; scape thickened at the apex; funicle 6-jointed, first joint moder- 
ately stout, nearly as long as the three following joints together; second joint 
longer than the third ; joints 3-6 short, transverse ; club rather loosely articulate. 
Eyes almost flat. Head convex, remotely punctured and thinly clothed with 
scales, front with a long, linear impression. Brothorax wider than long, nar- 
rovved in front; sides rounded from base to apex, latter scarcely constricted ; 
surface densely and coarsely punctured, each puncture bearing a short, scale-like 
hair; a few larger scales on the sides and along the median line. Elytra one- 
fourth and rather suddenly wider at the base than the prothorax ; sides scarcely 
rounded and gradually narrowed to apex, coarsely striate and punctured, {junc- 
tures closely approximate; interspaces feebly convex, rugose, each with several 
rows of tine punctures, which bear a very short, whitish hair; underside finely 
punctured, a little more densely clothed with scales ; fifth ventral segment longer 
than the fourth in both sexes. Legs not very slender, thighs feebly clavate, 
mutic; tibite moderately stout, straight, feebly bisinuate internally, armature 
lirominent; tarsi moderately slender, claws simple. Long. 2 mm.; .08 inch. 
Hub. — Ciilitbrnia. 
A male ami female s|)ecimen in Mr. Ulke’s collection. 
K. iieva<lit*us n. sp. — Elongate-oval, piceous, antennse and legs reddish, 
densely clothed with large, oval, yellowish gray or brownish scales. Beak about 
as long as the head and thorax, moderately slender, curved and slightly wider 
towards the apex, scaly at the base; striate and rather coarsely punctured ( % ). 
or very finely punctured with tlie striae obsolete ( 9 ) ; scrobes commencing two- 
fifths ( ), or one-half ( 9 ) from the apex. Antennae moderately slender, scape 
slender, strongly incrassate at apex; funicle 6-jointed, first joint stout and but 
little longer than the second, which is slender and longer than the third ; joints 
3-6 eciual, and rather closely articulate. Eyes nearly flat, not free posteriorly. 
Head densely scaly, front with an impressed line. Prothorax wider than long, 
base bisinuate, narrowed in front; sides broadly rounded from base to apex, 
latter not constricted, but feebly and transversely impressed behind the anterior 
margin ; surface densely punctured, i)unctures concealed by the scaly covering, 
a broad, ill-defined, darker stripe each side of the median line. Elytra elongate, 
one-fourth wider at the base than the prothorax; humeri rounded ; sides feebly 
rounded and gradually narrowed to the apex, which almost completely conceals 
thepygidium; stria?, and punctures nearly concealed by the scales; interspaces, 
with the scales intact, flattened; first interspace gradually widened from base 
to a])ex, where it ])rojects somewhat, giving it, when viewed from above, a sub- 
acuminate appearance ; toward the outer margin and a stripe each side of the 
suture not including the first interspace, darker; underside densely scaly; ven- 
tral segments subequal, third and fourth but little shorter than the others; py- 
gidium very little ex{)osed in the male ; entirely concealed in the female. Legs
