AMERICAN COLEOPTERA. 93 



i. little more closely punctate. The sixth segment in the female is 

 not visible. The posterior tibiae have two terminal spurs. 

 Occurs in Illinois and Virginia. 



E. testaceiis Lee. — Elongate ovate, narrower posteriorly, testaceous, 

 Eparsely pubescent. Head and thorax very sparsely punctulate. Elytra not 

 densely punctate and with the sutural stria alone distinct. Body beneath not 

 very densely punctulate. Length .14 inch j 3.5 mm. 



More elongate than either of the preceding and of a pale color. 

 The elytra are less densely punctured than in oviforniis and not 

 Bubstriate. The sixth segment is quite visible in the female. The 

 posterior tibiae have two terminal spurs. 



The color of this species appears to be constantly pale. 



Occurs from Canada to Pennsylvania. 



E. puiictnlatns Lee. — Moderately elongate oval, convex, brownish or 

 piceous, sparsely finely pubescent. Head and thorax sparsely and very finely 

 punctulate. Elytra very densely punctulate and without traces of striae ex- 

 cept the sutural. Body beneath densely finely punctulate. Antennae and legs 

 slightly paler than the rest of the body. Length .10 inch; 2.5 mm. 



This species has the elytra so densely punctulate that the inter- 

 spaces are smaller than the punctures. The sixth segment is barely 

 visible in the female. The posterior tibiae have two spurs. 



Two specimens, Michigan, Hubbard and Schwarzj Virginia, Ulke. 



E. luorio Lee. — Elongate oval, narrower behind, convex, nearly black, 

 eparsely pubescent. Head and thorax finely sparsely punctulate. Elytra dis- 

 tinctly substriate from base to apex, surface densely transversely' strigose, the 

 Btrigse composed of minute punctures. Body beneath densely punctulate. Legs 

 and antennae piceous. Length .10— .12 inch; 2.5 — 3 mm. 



Varies in color from black to brownish. In the female the sixth 

 segment is distinctly visible and in the male a small seventh also. 

 The posterior tibise have two spurs. 



Illinois, Virginia and Georgia. 



E. temiiualis Lee. — Similar in form and sculpture to morio, but the 

 elytra have a moderately well defined rufous spot and the strigse are less 

 approximate. Length .10 inch; 2.5 mm. 



The sixth segment is feebly visible in the female. The posterior tibias 

 have one spur only. In this latter character especially, it differs from 

 morio. 1 have several specimens from New Mexico, a little larger and 

 more shining, which with further specimens may be found distinct. 



Occurs from Vermont to Illinois. A description of this species 

 without name occurs in Proc. Acad. 1853, p. 357, the name first 

 appears in the List Col. N. A. p. 50, without evidence of the identity 

 of the two.
