A single female specimen is before me. It is very closely related 
to bnumens, with which it agrees in the formtition of the antenme, 
but differs in size, the less convex eyes and the more coarsely punc- 
tured prothorax ; the elytral punctures, also, are larger, and the 
intersjiaces more shining. 
I*, relictiis n. sp. Plate vii, fig. 28. — Elongate, snbovate, brown, clothed 
with coarse, yellowish gray pubescence. Beak moderately robust, widened from 
base to apex, punctured and feebly bistriate from base to middle; scrobes di- 
rected at a distance beneath the eyes. .A.nteniiie moderately stout, funicle 5- 
joinfed : first joint long, robust; second a little shorter, longer than the third, 
which is the shortest, fourth and fifth joints nearly ecpial, a little wider. Eyes 
scarcely convex, rather widely separated above. Head coarsely punctured, front 
flattened, fovea obsolete. Prothorax wider than long, narrowed in front, broadly 
l)ut feebly constricted at the apex; sides well rounded behind the constriction ; 
surface coarsely and closely luiuctured. Elytra elongate, widei- behind, but little 
wider at the base than the prothorax; humeri rounded, coarsely striate and 
punctured, especially near the base; third interspace conspicuously widened at 
its basal extremity; interspaces nearly flat, except near the base, roughened and 
each with several irregulai- rows of punctures; underside finely and remotely 
punctured, and rather sparsely pubescent. Legs moderately slender, dark testa- 
ceous, femora infuscate about the middle, feebly clavate, anterior thighs armed 
with a moderately large, subspiniform tooth: tooth of middle and posterior 
thighs smaller; tibite and tarsi slender. Long. 2 mm. ; .08 itich.

A unique S taken by me some years ago. The occurrence of 
5-jointed funicle in the present genus is certainly remarkable. In 
general appearance the species resembles incipiem ; the color is darker 
than in any other species. 
\KO.n\STIX ^en. uov. 
This new genus is established upon two small species from the 
Atlantic States, differing from Anthonomus in the 5-jointed funicle 
and the broadly ovate, antennal club. 
Beak long, not very slender, |)unctured and striate; scrobes com- 
mencing near the middle and directed against the lower segment of 
the eyes. Antennae slender, scape straight, moderately incra.ssate at 
its distal end; funicle 5-jointed, first joint long and robust, joints 2- 
5 nearly equal, outer joints a little wider, clava broadly oval, closely 
articulate, basal joint shining. Eyes moderately convex and slightly
