rado specimens of that species, the difference between the two was 

 quite obvious. 



Lycos tomus simulans, new species. 



Reseml)les very closely in form and color loripcs, from which it differs 

 in having a much shorter beak and shorter and wider last joint of maxillary 

 palpi. Length 1 1 mm. 



Huachuca Mts., Arizona. 



This species is so very much like loripcs that it is very likely mixed 

 in collections with that species. Only two of our species, lateralis 

 and loripcs, have a narrower, elongate beak, which especially is very 

 long and narrow in loripcs. the rest of our species, including simulans, 

 have a much shorter and broader beak. 



Lycostomus tabidus Gorh., Biol. Cent. Am. Col., Vol. Ill, pt. 2, p. 4. 



As far as the description goes this species seems to be very close 

 to L. fuh'cllus Lee. 



Eros nigripes, new species. 



Black, elytra and lateral and apical margins of thorax red. Prothorax 

 with five well-defined cells, the median one finely carinate. Antennse about 

 half as long as the body, third joint shorter than fourth ; second and third 

 joints together about as long as fourth. Hind trochanters short. Length 

 7 mm. 



Minnesota. 



A single pair in collection of Dietz, of which the female differs 

 from the above described male as usual in shorter and stouter antennal 

 joints. 



Family Clerid^. 



Monophylla ruficoUis, new species. 



Black upper and under side of prothorax and abdomen, except last seg- 

 ment red. Head densely punctate ; antennae ten-jointed, last joint of female 

 about as long as the preceding four or five joints. Form of thorax as in ter- 

 minata, surface very sparsely punctate on the disk but coarsely and densely 

 punctate near apical margin, near lateral margins almost impunctate. Elytra 

 clothed with cinereous pubescence, sculpture, below basal third, somewhat granu- 

 late rugose, obliterating the punctuation, which is rather fine and sparse and 

 only plainly visible near base. Length 7 mm. 



Arizona. 



I had regarded the single specimen, a female in my collection, as a 

 color variety of tcniiinata, but a closer examination shows that it
