and legs reddish yellow. Head omitting the mandibles as long as broad, as 

 wide as. the thorax, punctures rather coarse, sparse and somewhat indistinct; 

 antennae as long as the head and thorax, joints five to ten strongly transverse, 

 eight and nine twice as wide as long, the others not so wide. Thorax one 

 fourth longer than wide; sides parallel; posterior angles strongly rounded, 

 anterior angles obtuse and very narrowly rounded ; punctate like the head, a 

 distinct row either side of the middle, elsewhere sparse and irregularly placed. 

 Elytra one fourth wider than the thorax, slightly wider at apex than at base, 

 nearly one third longer than wide, surface shining, more coarsely, closely and 

 distinctly punctate than the head and thorax. Abdomen gradually wider to the 

 fifth segment where it is as wide as the elytra ; sides scarcely arcuate ; rather 

 sparsely and very finely punctate ; pubescence long even and rather coarse ; 

 beneath more distinctly punctured. Length, 4 mm. ; .75 mm. 1 5- 



Male. — Unknown. 



Female. — Terminal abdominal segment broadly rounded ; anterior tarsi not 

 distinctly dilated. 



A. semipmictattis F. & G. is the only species listed from North 

 America or Europe which the above at all resembles. The antennae 

 in that species are described as short, '' barely reaching the middle 

 of the thorax" and the outer joints "quite transverse." The an- 

 tennae and legs are differently colored. A. scmipiinctatus is not 

 included in the Junk Catalogus. 



Scopseus quadriceps new species. 



Form rather slender, parallel, somewhat depressed. Head and elytra rufo- 

 piceous, the latter paler at apex, abdomen darker, blackish ; thorax, antennae, 

 palpi and legs dull rufo-testaceous. Head one fifth longer than wide ; neck 

 one fifth the width of the head ; the latter behind the eyes, square ; base straight, 

 posterior angles moderately rounded ; eyes distant from the base two and one 

 half times their diameters; antennae very nearly as long as the head and thorax, 

 outer joints subquadrate ; gular sutures moderately separated, straight and 

 parallel ; head finely, densely and evenly punctate. Thorax very slightly nar- 

 rower than the head, one fourth longer than wide ; anterior angles at apical 

 third, sides thence straight and very slightly convergent to the round posterior 

 angles ; a little less densely punctate than the head with a narrow median 

 smooth line. Elytra scarcely wider than the thorax, equal to or narrower than 

 the head ; the head, thorax and elytra subequal, if anything the head being the 

 widest. Elytra one fourth longer than wide, less than one fourth longer than 

 the thorax, a little more coarsely and less densely punctate than the head. 

 Abdomen very slightly wider to the apical margin of the fourth segment where 

 it is slightly wider than the head. First joint of the posterior tarsi longer than 

 the second but shorter than the second and third together, two, thre'e and four 

 equal, as, long as wide. Length, 2.3 mm.; width, .35 mm. i J. 



Male. — Unknown.
