on the base of the third and fifth intervals and scattered scales along the third, fifth, 

 seventh and ninth intervals ; ventral surface and legs sparsely clothed with smaller 

 yellowish-white scales ; beak slender, a little longer than thorax, arcuate near the 

 base, distinctly flattened at apex, strongly, unevenly punctate ; antennae inserted a 

 little beyond the middle, scape not reaching the eye, funicle with the first joint longer 

 than next three combined, the second somewhat longer than the third; club large, 

 oval, densely pubescent, with the basal joint one-half of the mass ; eyes flat, widely 

 separated above, with a few large erect yellow scales at the anterior margin on the 

 base of the beak ; head separated from the beak by an obsolete constriction, aluta- 

 ceous, sparsely and finely punctulate ; thorax one-third wider than long, rounded on 

 the sides, broadly constricted at apex; disc sparsely punctate at the base, more 

 coarsely and rugosely at the constriction and on the sides ; the median line smooth, 

 entire, fusiform ; a large smooth space on the disc each side, approaching the base ; 

 scutellum small, glabrous; elytra scarcely wider than thorax, slightly longer than 

 wide, broadly arcuate from base to apex ; humeri not prominent ; strite broad, deep 

 and abrupt ; intervals flat, scarcely wider than the striae, each with a sigle row of 

 rather coarse punctures ; ventral surface coarsely and rather densely punctate ; pros- 

 ternum flat, separating the coxce by about one-half their width, apical constriction en. 

 tire. Length, 2.6 mm. 



Type No. 1406, U. S. N. M. One example from New Jersey, pre- 

 sented to the National Museum by Mr. Chas. Tunison, of New York. 

 Another specimen from the District of Columbia is in the collection of 

 Messrs. Hubbard and Schwarz. The species resembles O. convexns 

 Lee. in sculpture, but may be readily distinguished by the robust forrn, 

 yellow scales and the humeri not being prominent. 

 Oligolochus longipennis, sp. nov. 



Elongate, ovate, narrowed behind, less convex, shining, rufo-piceous, beak, an- 

 tennce and legs rufous ; vestiture of narrow white scales, sparse and nearly uniformly 

 distributed; beak slender, a little longer than thorax, regularly arcuate, scarcely flat- 

 tened at apex, less coarsely, unevenly punctate; basal constriction feeble; a few 

 erect longer scales at the margin of the eye ; antennae inserted distinctly beyond the 

 middle of the beak ; scape far from reaching the eye ; first joint of funicle as long as 

 the next three combined, the second a little longer than the third ; head alutaceous, 

 very sparsely and minutely punctulate ; thorax slightly wider than long, sides 

 slightly tumid before the middle, nearly parallel to base, broadly constricted at apex; 

 disc coarsely and densely, on the sides and at the constriction rugosely, punctate ; a 

 smooth median line, abbreviated each end ; the white scales uneven in size, on the 

 sides and along the base larger, on the middle of the disc very small and inconspic- 

 uous; scutellum small, with a couple of scales; elytra not wider than thorax, one- 

 half longer than wide, strongly narrowed from the humeri and compressed on the 

 sides near the apex ; humeri not prominent ; striae deep and abrupt, moderately wide;, 

 intervals flat, each with a row of rather coarse scale-bearing punctures, the scales 

 forming a spot on the base of the third interval; ventral surface coarsely and dense'y 

 punctate ; prosternum flat, separating the coxae by one-half their width, apical con- 

 striction entire; legs sparsely punctate and scaly. Length, 2.S mm.
