7 — Antennce .stout, the three decreasing basal joints moderate in development, four 

 t(j eight globular and moniliform, ninth distinctly larger, obviously transverse, 

 the club rather stout and notably wider than the first joint ; prothorax one-third 

 wider than long, the sides very slightly converging from base to apex, evenly and 

 feebly arcuate, the apex c|uite distinctly narrower than the base ; elytra fully three- 

 iourths longer than wide, only slightly wider than the ]irothorax, the pubescence 

 line and short ( 9 )• I-ength 1. 8 mm.; width 0.63 mm. California (Siskiyou 

 Co.) shastanica, sp. nov. 



Antenna; more slender and rather longer, more than two-fifths as long as the body, 

 relatively a little more thickened toward base, the first joint but little narrower 

 than the last two, the ninth joint not wider than long, the club very small ; pro- 

 thorax more transverse, two-fifths wider than long, the sides parallel and very 

 feebly arcuate, the apex scarcely narrower than the liase, the double side margin 

 more inllexed and wider toward base than in the jireceding ; elytra relatively 

 much wider and more oval, two-thirds longer than wide, nearly two-fifths wider 

 than the prothorax, the jiubescence rather coarser and sparser ( 9 )• Length

8 — Basal joint of the antennce imusnally developed, one-half as long as the width of 

 the head and suberjual in width to the last two joints, eight to ten, increasing 

 gradually in width, the ninth larger than usual when compared with the tenth, 

 the latter only moderately transverse ; prothorax one-half wider than long, the 

 sides subparallel, evenly and rather strongly arcuate, the disk broadly impressed 

 at base, as usual, and coarsely, deeply and closely punctured ; elytra oval, nar- 

 rowe<l and strongly rounded behind, strongl_y, but somewhat sparsely, subseriately 

 punctate, much wider than the prothorax, the pubescence sparse and rather 

 coarse, but subeven and not long. Length 2.2-2.25 nim.; width 0.8-0.83 mm. 

 New York basalis, sp. nov. 



Basal joint of the antenna; normally developed, much less than one-half as long as 

 the width of the head, the club moderate; body smaller in size, the pronotum 

 quite coarsely, deeply and closely punctate, as usual, three-fifths to two-thirds 

 wider than long, parallel and strongly, evenly rounded at the sides ; elytra about 

 two-thirds longer than wide, oval, slightly narrowed behind, quite distinctly 

 w'ider than the prothorax, rather coarsely, deeply but unusually sparsely, irregularly 

 punctured, the pubescence rather long and coarse but sparse. Length 1.5-I.8 

 mm.; width 0.65-0.78 mm. South Carolina and Kentucky.. ..testacea, 7Amm. 



9 — Body larger, the antenn:^; more elongate, with joints four, six and eight longer 

 than wide lo 



Body small or moderate and relatively stouter, the antennie shorter, with the fourth, 

 sixth and eighth joints not longer than wide ; pronotum coarsely, deeply and 

 more or less closely punctured, the elytra also strongly and more or less sparsely 

 so 12 



10 — Elytra inflated at the middle, fully two-fifths wider than tlie prothorax ; body 

 elongate-oval, rather convex, rufo-piceous, the elytra blackish ; pubescence 

 coarse, moderately long, sparse as usual ; antennae moderately slender, distinctly 

 less than one-half as long as the body, the club moderate, scarcely wider than the
