sides of the segments ; first segment convex at middle, and the second 

 without a median groove; last segment broadly rounded at apex; 

 vertical portions of the segments densely clothed with long, recum- 

 bent, golden pubescence, except the second, which is glabrous; 

 pygidium strongly carinate, the carina projecting and truncate at 

 apex. Prosternum sparsely, coarsely punctate, coarsely granulose, 

 and densely clothed with short, recumbent, cinereous pubescence; 

 prosternal lobe broad, moderately declivous, and broadly rounded in 

 front, with a rather deep, broadly arcuate emargination at the 

 middle; prosternal process broad, the sides parallel to behind the 

 coxal cavities, then strongly narrowed to the apex, which is acute. 

 Tibiae slender, straight, and without a distinct tooth at apex. Poste- 

 rior tarsi distinctly shorter than the tibiae, and the first joint about 

 as long as the following three joints united. Tarsal claws similar on 

 all feet, cleft near the middle, the inner tooth short and not turned 

 inward. 



Length, 10 mm.; width, 2.5 mm. 



Male. — Differs from the female in being slightly more slender, 

 front of head narrower, with the lateral margins more strongly ex- 

 panded near the middle; first abdominal segment broadly, longi- 

 tudinally concave at the middle, and the second with a rather wide, 

 deep, smooth depression extending from the anterior margin of 

 segment to the apical third; prosternum more finely punctured and 

 more densely pubescent; anterior and middle tibiae armed with a 

 short tooth on inner margin at apex, and the tarsal claws dissimilar ; 

 the anterior pair cleft near the tip and the teeth nearly equal in 

 length ; posterior pair cleft near the middle, the inner tooth shorter 

 than outer one, and feebly turned inward, but the tips distant; mid- 

 dle claws dissimilar, the one claw cleft near the tip, with the teeth 

 nearly equal in length, and the opposite claw cleft near middle, 

 with the inner tooth shorter than outer one. Genitalia similar to 

 those' of quadriguttatus Gory. 



Redescribed from a female specimen in the United States National 

 Museum collection from Riley County, Kans., collected on June 4 

 by P. J. Parrott. Since the type of this species is lost, I am desig- 

 nating this specimen as the neotype.
