behind it and an irregular spot on the declivity ; under surface and femora 

 more thinly clothed with larger oval white scales, tibiae and tarsi dark reddish- 

 brown ; antennae paler, the club densely pubescent. Beak slender, feebly 

 cur\'ed, as long as head and thorax, finely striate and scaly on basal half, 

 slightly flattened and densely punctate toward apex. Antennae inserted at 

 apical two fifths, scape very slender, not reaching eyes; funicle 6-jointed. 

 second joint slender, obconical, three fourths as long as the next two united, 

 3—6 small, subglobose, subequal. Thorax about as wide as long, sides almost 

 straight and parallel from base to middle, then converging to apex ; disk not 

 constricted near apex, finely and densely punctate. Elytra oval, convex, one 

 fourth wider at base than thorax, sides parallel to apical third, then broadly 

 curved to apex ; striae fine, their punctures well separated ; intervals flat. 

 All the femora unarmed; claws with a small basal tooth. Length 2.1-2.3 n^m- 



Described from three specimens taken by E. A. Bischoff at Newark, 

 New Jersey. Belongs under a-a oi Group B of the subgenus Sexarthrus, 

 p. 313 of the Rhynchophora, but not closely allied to either nubilus or 

 cylindricoUis, as the beak is much longer and the scales much more 

 dense and differently arranged than in niihilus while cylindricoUis is pu- 

 bescent, not scaly. Bischoff reports taking them in some numbers 

 while sweeping, June 13-August 24, in both low meadow land and on 

 mountain slopes near Newark, Irvington, Bloomfield and Montclair, 

 N.J. 



467. Anthonomus decipiens Lee. 



The first Indiana specimen was swept from herbage alongside of a 

 bayou of White River in Marion Co., September 4, 1920. 



487. Miarus hispidulus Lee. 



Within the last two years a number of specimens have been taken 

 while sweeping along the margins of a pond in a dense woodland near 

 Broad Ripple, Ind. ; one also in Crawford Co., Ind. 



491. Cleonus (Stephanocleonus) plumbeus Lee. 



I was much surprised to receive for determination a specimen of 

 this Cleonid from Knoxville, Tenn. It was reared in July from the 

 roots of strawberry by S. Marcovitch. The hitherto known range has 

 been from New England to British Columbia, Southern Colorado and 

 New Mexico.
