By R. \V. Dawson. 

 Lincoln, Nebraska. 



Serica sponsa new species. 



Male. — Length, S— 9 mm., width, 4.5-5 mm. Color varying from light 

 chestnut-brown to nearly black, highly polished and shining. 



• pens with discal area either continuous with the convexity of the front 

 or broadly and slightly raised above its plain. Anterior margin of clypeus 

 rather suddenly and strongly elevated, lateral margins less so; lateral incisure 

 rather variable, but usually narrow and deep, entirely dividing the elevated 

 margin. Puncturation of clypeus moderately coarse and unusually dense, the 

 punctures coalescent to separated by half their own diameters : the dense, 

 rough puncturation obscuring and in some cases nearly effacing the fine 

 clypeal suture. Punctures of front a little coarser than those of the clypeus 

 and less regularly and densely placed. Antennal club small and short, but 

 v. . .ling half the total length of the antenna. Eyes small. Measure-
