I*. n. sp. — Oblong-oval, rufo-testaceous, a little more robust and 
more .shining than the ])receding, thinly clothed with fine, i)ale. yellowish or 
whitish puheseence. Beak rather robust, moderately long, curved, somewhat 
shining, punctured and suhstriate, scarcely pubescent; scrohes more oblique than 
in the preceding, scarcely impingiiii; against the low’er margin of the eyes. An- 
tennte not slender; first joint of funicle robust and rather short ; second joint 
not slender, longer than the third ; fourth joint very short. Eyes c(Uivex. Head 
punctured and pubescent, more so on the front and between the eyes; frontal 
fovea elongate, not sharply defined. Prothorax one-half wider than long, 
strongly narrowed anteriorly and broadly constricted at the a])ex. rounded on 
the sides; surface densely and deeply punctured; pubescence condensed along 
the median line from the base to about the middle. Elytra oval, nearly one- 
third, and rather suddenly wider at the base than the prothorax; humeri 
rounded ; sides rather strongly rounded towards the tip; stri* wide, iin])ressed ; 
luinctures rather large, transverse and subconfluent; intei-spaces con vex. shining, 
and somewhat rugose, alternate ones a trifle wider, especially noticeable toward 
the base ; pubescence appears to be arranged in thi ee irregular rows on each inter- 
s])a(te, not condensed in patches or lines. Legs as in cratsegi, but the femoral 
tooth is subspiniform, longer; the tibiae very slender, longer, not widened to- 
wards the tip. Long. 2.2 — 2.7 mm.; .09 — .11 inch.

Four specimens are before me, one from each of the above locali-
