DESCRIPTIONS OF NEW SPECIES. Klf; 



extending to the apex are stronger, and the apical emargination 

 is deeper. 



In E. canaliculatus the thorax is obviously wider than its 

 length, and more strongly narrowed in fronl ; the elytra are [ess 

 shining, more densely punctulate and rugose, with the pubescence 

 very short, coarser and more silvery, giving an almost leaden 

 lustre.

One specimen; Kansas. Resembles a female of E. canalicu- 

 latus, but the thorax is more convex, aud the anterior angles are 

 not prolonged, and scarcely acute. 



376. E. tomeiltosiis. Ovalisconvexus,utrinqne attenuate, obscure 

 seneus,pubecinerea minus subtili irregulariter vestitus, capite tlioraceque 

 fortiter punctatis, hoc latitudine paulo breviore, ante medium angustato. 

 lateribus rotundatis, angulis anticis acutis ; elytris puuetis striatim 

 digestis, iuterstitiis parce punctatis. Long. -40. 



Georgia and Florida. Easily distinguished by the eoarse 

 cinereous pubescens being irregularly distributed so as to form 

 rows of small spots on the elytra. The stria? are not impressed, 

 but are composed of punctures, and are not very obvious, owing 

 to the punctures of the interstitial spaces being nearly as large 

 as those of the rows.
