irregularly punrtate. the punctures closely placed on the basal 

 region, but becoming more widely separated toward the apex. 



Abdomen beneath sparsely, obsoletely punctate, and feebly granu- 

 lose ; last segment broadly rounded at apex, and the surface broadly 

 but not deeply depressed near the tip. Femora not very strongly 

 swollen at middle. Tibiae slender, subcylindrical. not enlarged at 

 the apex, and the middle ones not grooved. Tarsi narrow. 



Length, 4.5 mm. ; width, 1.7 mm.

2'i/^g._Cat.'No. 28386, U.S.N.M. 



Described from a unique female collected at the type locality May 

 10, by E. A. Schwarz. 



This species resembles nigritarsis Fisher somewhat in its mark- 

 ings, but is a much smaller species, more densely punctate, the pubes- 

 cence not quite so yellow, pronotum scarcely tuberculate at the sides, 

 and the antennae distinctly black, with the third and fourth joints 

 conspicuously annulated with cinereous pubescence. 



EUPOGONIUS NIGRITARSIS, new species 



Male. — Elongate, subcylindrical, uniformly reddish-brown above, 

 rather densely and irregularly clothed with recumbent pale yellow 

 and cinereous hairs intermixed, and with numerous short, dark, erect 

 hairs arising from the punctures, the small irregular pubescent and 

 glabrous areas giving the surface a mottled appearance; beneath 

 rufous, with the posterior margin of abdominal segments, median 

 part of femora, tips of tibiae, and the tarsi more or less marked with 

 fuscous, the surface densely clothed with recumbent yellowish-white 

 pubescence, and with a few long, whitish, flying hairs intermixed, 

 especially on the legs. 



Head strongly transverse and feebly convex in front, flat be- 

 tween the antennal tubercles, which are feebly elevated, and the sur- 

 face rather densely, deeply, and regularly punctate; eyes coarsely 

 granulated, deeply emarginate, and separated from each other on 

 the top by about the width of the emargination of the eyes in front. 

 Antennae about one and one-fourth times as long as the body, red- 

 dish-brown, sparsely clothed with short recumbent brown pubes- 

 cence, except the basal half of the third and fourth joints, which 

 are paler and clothed with cinereous hairs; in addition the joints are 

 densely clothed with rather long, flying hairs: first joint robust, 

 davate, about one-half as long as the third joint, which is consid- 

 erably longer than llie fourth, the following joints mucli shorter and 

 gradually decreasing in length. 



Pronotum slighth' Avider than long, the base and apex about equal 

 in width; sides feebly arcuately rounded, with an obsolete obtuse 

 tubercle on each side at the middle; surface regularly convex, even.
