Daya (Pluisnwtd) ingratula (sy. 



This species was described from !\Iississii)j)i. The specimen at 

 hand ag-rees so perfectly with the description tlicro seems no possi- 

 liility of doiihtint;- the indentification tliouj^li its i)resence in New 

 York is soniewliat suri)risin,g. 



Metaxya (flygra-cia) magniceps Salil. 



A large series in the material at hand agrees very closely with 

 Ganglbauer's description of the above species. Comparison has also 

 been made with a si)ecimen of the closely allied luiropean species 

 (H) dcbilis Er. which differs by its pale antenna*. ( // ) )iia(/iiiccps is 

 known from Finland and Germany. 



Oxypoda (Pcmosoma) schaefferi new species. 



Form slightly robust and distinctly fiisoid, moderately convex, feebly shin- 

 ing; color black, thorax, elytra, lej^s and antennre piceous, the basal joints of 

 the antcnn.-e not paler; tarsi somewhat paler. Head, thorax and elytra strongly 

 alutaceous ; punctures fine, shallow, umbilicate on the thorax, aspcrulate on 

 the elytra, separated by twice their diameters ; abdomen imbricate-reticulate. 

 punctures asperate, sparser on the fifth segment : pubescence somewhat fine, 

 equally dense throughout. Head transverse, rounded, slightly more than one 

 half the width of the thorax; eyes scarcely prominent, rather large, at slightly 

 less than their own diameters from the base; the tempora slightly divergent, 

 infralatcral carinse very strong, entire; antennae about reaching the base of 

 the thorax, somewhat stout but not strongly incrassate, second joint slightly 

 longer than the first, distinctly longer than the third, fourth slightly transverse, 

 outer joints very gradually larger and more transverse, tenth three fifths wider 

 than long, terminal joint obtusely pointed at apex, as long as the two pre- 

 ceding. Thorax scarcely one half wider than long, widest slightly behind the 

 middle, sides strongly convergent and nearly straight anteriorly, feebly arcuate 

 and subparallel posteriorly; base rounded, posterior angles completely rounded, 

 disk indistinctly biimpressed at base. Elytra scarcely as wide as the thorax at 

 base, distinctly wider at apex, sides straight and distinctly divergent, con- 

 jointly about one fourth wider than long, suture slightly longer than the 

 thorax, sinuses rather strong. Abdomen slightly narrower than the elytra at 

 base, feebly narrowed posteriorly (excluding the margins). Rasal joint of the 

 posterior tarsi nearly as long as the next three combined. Length 1.75 mm.; 

 width. .75 mm. Two specimens. 



This species is very close to the Kuro])ean O. ( nciiiosomu) ntgi- 

 coUis Kr. The thorax is slightly more shining, the sides in front 

 straighter, the elvtra are longer and the legs and antcnn;e are dark.
