 greatly elongated, a little wider than in the preceding species. The 

 scutellum is small, but tumidity convex. 



Length to tip of hemelytra 1\ mm. Humeral width f mm. 



^yi>t^— Cat. No. 6846, U.S. N.M. 



Two specimens were found August 3 and 7. 



One specimen is much stouter than the other, and it has shorter 

 hemelytra, but it has been somewhat distorted l\v compression. 



CERATOCOMBUS LATIPENNIS, new species. 



Body l)lack, polished, shining: hemelytra dull testaceous, excepting 

 the base. Head narrow, polished, black, antennae piceous black, 

 rostrum black, reaching to the middle coxa^. Pronotum almost flat, 

 a little wider than long, black, polished, the humeri slightly prominent, 

 the incised line more distinct at the lateral margins. Legs piceous. 

 Underside piceous black. Scutellum small, prominently convex, 

 black, polished. Hemelytra broad, tiat, ol)scurely, testaceous, except- 

 ing the base, broadly rounded at tip, moderately coriaceous. Length 

 to tip of hemelytra li mm. Width of pronotum f mm. 



Ti/jx'.— Cat No. 6847, U.S.N.M. 



Two specimens were secured August 18 and 17. 



The insufficiency of specimens for analysis in this genus has made
