ever, a female almost identical in markings with the male and vice 

 versa. Other localities than that of the types from which I have seen 

 specimens are Antigonis'h, N. S. (J. M. Swaine), Montreal, Que. 

 (Chagnon), Frazer Valley, B. C. (Weidt), Aweme (Criddle), Peach- 

 land, Husavick and Winnipeg (Wallis), Manitoba. 



Haliplus gracilis new species. 



Form oval, narrow, sides nearly parallel, color pale testaceous. 



Size: length 3^-4, width z-zYz mm. 



Head punctured with extremely fine, shallow, scattered pvmctures ; eyes 

 large and rather prominent ; antennae color of head. 



Pronotum in front with deep small punctures not closely placed, base with 

 confused rows of coarser punctures, disc smooth ; sides quite strongly com- 

 pressed apically behind the eyes and lightly impressed each side of middle at 

 base ; side margins wider than near allies ; apex slightly, if at all, infuscate. 



Elytra widest just below the humeri, very little wider than at base ; sides 

 nearly parallel and somewhat flattened; apices oblique and slightly sinuate, 

 sutural angle acute ; striae composed of moderately large, shallow, brown 

 punctures, very much diminished apically and laterally ; maculate with pale 

 brown spots placed as follows : two antemedian placed obliquely, one sub- 

 median and two below this one subapical, these spots being at no time 

 prominent, frequently evanescent. Under surface and legs bright fulvous. 



Prosternal process flat, sides parallel to front coxae, greatly constricted 

 beyond them and then widely excurved, not steeply declivous in front but 

 broadly arched ; without side or apical margins and unevenly punctured with 

 different sized punctures, coarsest near base. 



Mid-metasternum broadly impressed behind middle coxae, not tumid in 

 front, finely but distinctly margined on the sides and with a few scattered 

 punctures in front and at the sides. Usually there is a shallow pit, more or 

 less distinct, placed centrally upon the anterior suture of antecoxal piece. 



Hind coxae with deep, medium-sized punctures evenly placed ; apices 

 broadly rounded from exterior angle to apex thence feebly sinuate to suture, 

 where the angles are acute and slightly produced. 



Male front and middle tarsi thickened, but not at all pedunculate. 



Male and female types from Corvallis, Oreg. (A. R. Wood- 

 cock), in my collection. 



All the specimens I have seen, about one hundred and fifty, are 

 from the same locality and do not vary except as indicated in the 

 description. 



This species is the most slender in the cribraritis group. 



Haliplus cylindricus new species. 



Elongate, regularly oval, convex, color pale olive yellow. 

 Size: length 4^2 mm., width 2% mm.
