 ellipitical, ferruginous; pronotal rugosities fine, densely placed, and changing 

 to rugose punctures to base; front flat, shining, distinctly and evenly 

 punctured, with a few long hairs toward the sides, and with faint median 

 line; declivity steep, subconvex, interspace 1 elevated, 2 and 3 flat, striae 

 with coarse punctures. Camp Caribou, Maine, in Picea sp.. May 25, 

 1900; Austin Cary, collector; Hopk. U.S. No. 332c. Type, Cat. No. 7629,

Female. — "Front flattened, slightly more pubescent than in the male;, 

 declivity more opaque and interspace 1 not so strongly elevated." 



This species is unknown to us. Since it occurs in Maine it will probably 

 be found in Eastern Canada. 



Host tree. — Spruce. 



Distribution. — Camp Caribou, Maine.

Length, 1 • 8 mm. ; the front punctured, with a transverse postepistomal 

 impression; the pronotum longer than wide, feebly asperate in front, rather 

 coarsely and deeply punctured behind; the elytra coarsely and deeply, not 

 very closely punctured, not striate, the punctures rather irregular, the 

 rows hardly evident. There is sometimes a fairly distinct fifth segment 

 in the funicle. 



Host trees. — Hicoria, Pyrus, Acer (literature). Taken by the writer 

 only in dead and dry maple limbs. The egg-tunnels and larval mines are 

 entirely in the outer wood, sometimes below the surface; both adults and 

 larvae find an important food in certain black wood fungi, which are always 

 abundant in the limbs they frequent. 



Distribution. — Eastern Canada and Eastern United States.
