Posey County; rai-e. ^lay 1. This species was named for me 

 by Chas. Dury. wlio lias taiani nine oE them near Cincinnati. It 

 was not included in ITorn's IMonograpli of the Subfamily and was 

 described from Brazil. South America, by Bonvouloiri, who also 

 gave "La., N. A.," as a doubtful locality. ^Ir. Dury identified it 

 from a translation of the original description and his identification 

 was afterwards verified by comparison with the type. 



X. Hypoccelus Esch. 183G. (Gr., "beneath f hollow.") 



Small oblong species having the antennae filiform ; elytra striate ; 

 first joint of hind tarsi as long as the next three, the fourth joint 

 not dilated or lobed beneath. One of the two known species was 

 described from Indiana and the other prol)a])ly occurs. 



1344 (4050). riYPOccELUs frontosus Say, Trans. Amer. Phil. Sf>c., VI, 



1830, 187; ibid. II, 025. 

 Oblong, slightly attenuate behind. Piceous black, antennte and legs 

 reddish-brown. Antennae less than half the length of body, second joint 

 shorter than fourth, third longer, fourth to tenth very gradually longer 

 and slightly broader, eleventh oval, acute at tip, very little longer than 

 tenth. Front of head with a distinct transverse ridge, clypeus concave. 

 Thorax a little wider than long, median lino distinctly impressed its en- 

 tire length, surface very densely and rugosely punctate. Elytra distinctly 

 striate, intervals flat, punctured as the thorax. Length 4.5-5.5 mm. 



Say's types canu^ from near New Harmony. F^osVy County. 

 Dury has taken it and also the other species, tcrniiiialis Lee, near 

 Cincinnati. The latter is distinguished by having the terminal joint 

 of antennte longer than the preceding, the fi'ont with a fine longi- 

 tudinal carina, clypeus fiat, median thoracic line less impressed. 

 Both species occur on dead hickory.
