Abdominal segments with the rows of punctures very fine. 

 Male front and middle tarsi thickened, not pedunculate. 



Male and female types from Corvallis, Oreg. (A. R. Woodcock), 

 are in my collection. Other localities from which I have specimens 

 are Laramie, Wyo. (H. F. Wickman) ; Frazer Valley, B. C. (R. 

 Weidt) ; Areata, Humboldt Co., Cal, (Dr. Van Dyke), and Gar- 

 land, Colo. (U. S. Natl. Mus.). 



Haliplus strigatus new species. 



Oval, elongate, light fulvous. 



Size: length 3-3 J4 mm.; width i J^— 2 mm. 



Head finely, sparsely punctured, broad between the eyes, infuscate at base, 

 the infuscation in some specimens extending down below the apex of the 

 eyes ; eyes oblong oval, rather large and prominent. 



Pronotum immaculate, light fulvous, sparsely, finely pimctured even at 

 base and apex, a broad space across the disc impunctate ; basal plica deeply 

 impressed, a little longer than one quarter the depth of the pronotum. 



Elytra scarcely wider at humeri than at middle, sides nearly parallel, 

 compressed ; apices not strongly, but evidently, sinuate with the sutural angle 

 acute ; striae composed of fine, deep, closely placed, blackened punctures ; 

 strigate : intervals, including the sutural, with the punctures obsolete. 



Under surface and legs pale yellow. 



Prosternal process flat, without margins, scarcely broader at base than 

 between the front coxae, beyond which it is strongly constricted and very 

 little excurved to apex. 



Mid-metasternum nearly flat, lightly impressed and finely punctured 

 each side. 



Hind coxal plates with the punctures moderate in size, well separated 

 and very shallow ; apices broadly, separately rounded. 



Male front and middle tarsi thickened, evidently pedunculate, especially 

 so on the middle tarsi. 



Male and female types from Treesbank, Manitoba (J. B. Wallis). 

 in my collection. Other localities from which I have seen speci- 

 mens are Stony Mountain (J. B. Wallis) and Aweme (N. Criddle), 

 Manitoba; Frazer Valley, B. C. (G. Weidt), and Laramie, Wyo. (H. 

 F. Wickham). In a series from Aweme. Man., sent me by Mr. Nor- 

 man Criddle, the specimens are a little larger and the characters of 

 the under body somewhat exaggerated, but it is not otherwise distinct. 



The six species, borcalis. ntficollis. blanchardi. palUdiis. strigatus 

 and longidns form a distinct group by having the second joint of the 

 labial palpi dilated inwardly from base to apex so that the inner 

 apical angle is prominent, as pointed out in the case of ntficollis by
