CYRTINUS HUBBARDI, new species 



Form similar to schwarzi Fisher, head and pronotum dark brown, 

 the latter with the anterior and posterior margins flavo-testaceous ; 

 elytra flavo-testaceous, with a more or less distinct fuscous spot on 

 each elytron behind the middle; beneath uniformly flavo-testaceous. 



Head nearly two times as wide as long and feebly convex in 

 front, flat between the antennal tubercles, which are A^ery widely 

 separated, and scarcely elevated, the surface subopaque, finely, 

 rather densely and irregularly punctate, sparsely clothed with 

 rather long, recumbent, cinereous hairs, and with the median longi- 

 tudinal groove only obsoletely indicated on the front; eyes very 

 small, not very coarsely granulated, distinctly divided, and sepa- 

 rated from each other on the top by nearly two times the width 

 of the emargination of the eyes in front, the lobes round, and the 

 upper ones very minute. Antennae 11-jointed, about as long as 

 the body, flavo-testaceous, with the apex of the joints brownish, 

 and clothed with a few long, semierect or flying hairs. 



Pronotum one-third longer than wide, and slightly narrower at 

 base than apex; sides feebly arcuately rounded from apical angles 

 to basal fourth, where they are very strongly constricted, then 

 slightly arcuately rounded to the base; surface strongly convex, 

 smooth and shining on the median parts, finely obsoletely punctuate 

 along anterior margin, feebly transversely rugose along base, with 

 a deep transverse constriction at basal fourth, and with a few rather 

 long, recumbent, cinerous hairs scattered over the surface. 



Elytra two times as long as wide, and slightlj^ wider than the 

 pronotum at middle ; sides nearly parallel basally, broadly expanded 

 at apical third, then strongly arcuatelj^ attentuate to the tips, which 

 are conjointly broadly rounded; surface shining, transversely de- 

 pressed on basal third, strongly convex posteriorly, and each elytron 

 with a distinct basal tubercle, which is armed at the apex with a 

 single long black seta, sparsely, coarsely, and irregularly punctate 

 on disk in basal region, but becoming entirely smooth toward the 

 apex and along the sides, sparsely and irregularly clothed with long, 

 recumbent, cinerous hairs on the basal half and along lateral mar- 

 gins toward apex, and also with rows of widely separated, long, 

 stiff, erect hairs. 



Beneath shining, with a few obsolete punctures on the abdomen, 

 and very sparsely clothed with rather long, recumbent, cinereous 

 pubescence, which is denser along the sides of the sternum: last 

 abdominal segment broadly rounded at apex; femora strongly, ab- 

 ruptly clavate near apex, with th^ club obsoletely flattened laterally. 



Length, 2.7 mm.; width, 0.17 mm.
