The type locality is Winnipeg, Man.; J. B. Wallis; found westward to the 

 Coast, and south to Colorado, in species of Picea. 



Cryturgus corrugatus, n. sp. 



Pale yellow brown, length 1.1 mm.; evidently pubescent on the elytra; 

 the head wide, the front quadrate, plano-convex, densely strongly recticulate- 

 granulate and sparsely pubescent, strongly pubescent on the sides; the eyes 

 coarsely fascetted ; the pronotian slightly longer than wide, very broadty rounded 

 in front and behind, suboval, feebly rounded on the sides, widest about the 

 middle, little more strongly narrowed in front, with numerous, small, indistinct 

 punctures, the surface very strongly recticulate, the pubescence minute, not very 

 distinct; the elytra as wide as the pronotum, the sides parallel to beyond the 

 middle, narrowly rounded behind, moderately shining, alutaceous, the elytral 

 striae very wide, moderately impressed, the sutural striae a little more strongly 

 impressed throughout, the strial punctures very coarse, shallow with slender 

 hairs on the disc, becoming very short on declivity, the interspaces extremely 

 narrow, with a row of closely placed setose, granulate, small punctures, the 

 setae rather long, similar, to those of the strial punctures on the disc; the 

 declivity reddish opaque. 



Described from six specimens from ''North Mt., Pa." 



Phloeosinus canadensis, n. sp. 



A small black species with the grey pubescence short but rather conspicuous 

 for this genus; length, 2.5 mm.; width 1.25 mm. Relative proportions: 

 pronotum, width 29, length 24; elytra, width 31-32, length 45. 



Description of female. — The head has the front plano-convex, shining, 

 moderately, rather closely granulate-punctate, densely in front, densely and 

 less coarsely upon the vertex, with the punctured area arcuate behind as usual; 

 with a moderate median epistomal lobe, and a fine median carina on the cephalic 

 half, terminating behind at the faint transverse impression; the genae and 

 occiput minutely aciculate, punctulate, with larger scattered punctures; the 

 eyes deeply not very widely emarginate, more than half divided. 



The pronotum is slightl)^ wider than long, about one-half as long as the 

 elytra; widest at the hind margin, which is a little narrower than the base of 

 the elytra; the hind margin bisinuate; the sides gradually arcuately narrowed 

 towards the front, moderately constricted beyond the middle, with the con- 

 striction distinctly impressed across the disc; very broadly rounded on the front 

 margin; the discal punctures of medium size and only moderately close, not 

 granulate; the median line faintly very finely carinate; with a moderate, 

 transverse, arcuate, subbasal impression and an indistinct sub-elevated lateral 

 callus behind the middle; the pubescence fine and short. The mesonotujn is 

 finely reticulate, with the apex pubescent; the scutellum extremely minute. 

 The mesosternum is precipitous between the coxae. 



The elytra are stout, slightly less than one-half longer than wide, shining, 

 with the bases strongly arcuate, elevated, acute and finely crenulate as usual; 

 the sides faintly arcuate, slightly wider behind; broadly rounded on the hind 

 margin as viewed from above; with the discal striae very narrow but rather 

 deeply impressed, finely and indistinctly punctured, outcurved near the base; 

 the lateral striae wide and deeply impressed; the interspaces wide on the disc 

 and shghtly convex, narrower and rather strongly convex on the sides; the 

 second interspace moderately widened near the base; the interspaces coarsely 

 not very closely granulate-punctate, somewhat more coarsely near the base, 

 the granules reduced in size towards the declivity, excepting those of the middle 

 line which develop into a subregular row of small serrations; the declivity
