262 AMERICAN COLEOPTEKA. 



squarely truncate, equal in width ; pronotal scales in great part dark in color 

 with a narrow median pale vitta, which is sometimes not well defined. Elytra 

 oval, one-third wider than tl)e prothorax and two and two-third times as long; 

 scales confusedly mottled, erect hairs forming a fairly regular series on each 

 interspace; stripe finely impressed, distinctly closely punctate, interspaces flat or 

 slightly convex. Beneath scaly and hairy as above, the hairs more inclined ; 

 front tibia; mucronate at tip and with a few small denticles along the inner 

 margins; middle tibiae more feebly mucronate, hind tibia; not appreciably mucro- 

 nate, third tarsal joint not wider than the second, moderately emarginate as 

 viewed from above. Length 6-7 mm. 



Described from a fairly good series taken by Dr. Fen yes and 

 Prof. Cockerell at Santa Fe and San Ildefonso respectively. Other 

 specimens apparently identical in every way are in my collection 

 from "Arizona." 



The reference to Cimbocera is provisional, though aside from the 

 distinct separation of the seventh funicular joint from the club, and 

 the evidently mucronate middle tibiae, the characters seem to agree 

 well with Horn's diagnosis. The second ventral segment is said to 

 be equal to the next two in length in C. patiper, but is considerably 

 longer than the next two in conspeisa. 



Pandeletejus rotiiii(lic-olIi$« n.sp.— Similar in size and general aspect 

 to hilaris. Clothed throughout with a dense crust of dark brown and cinereous 

 scales, the dark scales condensed in a somewhat imperfect subfusiform dorsal 

 pronotal vitta, the two colors broadly confused on the elytral disk ; the apex, in 

 great part, and an irregular lateral spot on each cinereous; entire surface with 

 very short recumbent extremely inconspicuons sette, which are arranged in sin- 

 gle series on the elytral interspaces and are more evident beneath. Head and 

 beak in front of the eyes longer than wide, sides moderately convergent apically, 

 upper surface concave, apex triangularly emarginate and with a very small tri- 

 angular smooth area. Antennae pale, funicle six-jointed, first joint stouter and 

 about as long as the next two, second subequal in length to but not wider than 

 the next two, outer joints submoniliform and gradually slightly wider. Pro- 

 thorax nearly as long as wide, sides strongly roundly dilated, basal and apical 

 constrictions equal. Elytra widest at apical two-fifths, where they are a little 

 less than twice the thoracic width ; striae fine, interspaces nearly flat. Anterior 

 tibiae nearly straight, suddenly a little bent at the extreme tip, the inner margin 

 with about eight denticles. Length 4.5-5.5 mm. 



Described from two examples taken by Mr. Knaus at Cloudcroft 

 in June. 



Distinguishable at once from all our other species by the 6-jointed 

 funicle, which does not, however, necessitate generic separation, all 

 other characters being those of Pandeletej us. The thorax is more 

 strongly rounded at sides than in any of our other species and the 

 rostrum is rather longer.
