hind the eyes very oblique ; occiput with two large foveje which are separated 

 from each other by a little less than twice the distance between them and the 

 eyes; antennae rather stout, as long as the head and thorax, first joint one half 

 longer than wide, obconic, second square, as long as wide, third and fourth as 

 long as wide, decreasing slightly in size, five to nine transverse, five just 

 visibly so, nine twice as wide as long and about twice the width of the sec- 

 ond ; terminal joint wider than the ninth, slightly elongate, oval-conic. Head 

 finely pubescent but not visibly punctate. Thorax one fourth wider than long, 

 widest at apical two thirds where it is rather broadly rounded, straight and 

 slightly convergent posteriorly. Fovea large, round and deep, surface punctu- 

 late. Pubescence not dense, pale and decumbent, moderately long. Elytra one 

 fovirth wider than long, scarcely wider at base than the greatest width of the 

 thorax ; humeri oblique, not at all prominent, sides divergent, feebly arcuate, 

 nearly straight in front, surface moderately convex, discal striae distinct to 

 apical third, punctulate, the pubescence rather coarse, dense and decumbent, 

 pale in color. Carinae of the first abdominal segment straight, divergent, half 

 the length of the segment, separated by half the width of the segment between 

 the margins. Length, 1.2 mm.; width, .5 mm. J. One specimen. 



This species resembles D. formaccti Lee. It may be distinguished 

 as follows : antennae shorter and stouter, funicular joints nearly all 

 transverse; thorax more transverse and more broadly rounded on the 

 sides. Elytra slightly more transverse, less convex, sides less strongly 

 arcuate, humeri mucli less prominent ; color yellow brown without the 

 strong reddish tinge characteristic of formaccti; pubescence coarser. 



Trogophloeus volans new species. 



Form somewhat slender, piceous, abdomen black; three basal joints of the 

 antennae and the legs dull rufous. Pubescence rather short, fine and dense, 

 pale cinereous, more conspicuous on the abdomen, less so on the head and 

 thorax. Head slightly transverse, slightly narrower than the thorax, convex, 

 prominences moderately strong; punctures rather coarse, very dense and evenly 

 distributed but distinct, separated by slightly more than their diameters; eyes 

 large, rather strongly convex ; tempora less prominent, broadly rounded, one 

 half the diameter of the eye; antennae slender, feebly and gradually incrassate, 

 not reaching the base of the thorax, third joint three fourths the length of the 

 second, the latter twice as long as wide, fourth scarcely elongate, fifth dis- 

 tinctly so, ninth and tenth slightly transverse. Thorax one fifth wider than 

 long, widest at apical third where it is three fourths the width of the elytra, 

 sides rather broadly rounded anteriorly, nearly straight and convergent pos- 

 teriorly, base nearly four fifths the width of the apex ; discal impressions 

 moderately distinct, more or less interrupted at middle ; punctures similar in 

 size to those of the head, evenly distributed, a little more closely placed.
