1447 (4409). Leptoschema hicolor Lee, Trans. Amer. Phil. Soe., X, 1S53, 



428. 



Elongate-oblong, broadest behind the middle. xVbove black or dark 

 reddish-brown, sparsely clothed with short, suberect, grayish-yellow pubes- 

 cence; beneath luiiform pale reddish-brown. Clyi^eus of female obtusely 

 rounded in front, impressed above. Autennne with second and third joints 

 each nearly as long as fourth ; this and the following joints without promi- 

 nent angles in either sex. Thorax one-third longer than wide, strongly 

 convex, sides feebly rounded, disk finely, evenly and densely punctured; 

 hind angles slightly diverging, strongly carinate. Elytral strije fine, the 

 punctures small, close-set; intervals flat, rather densely and roughly punc- 

 tulate. length S.5-12 mm. 



Pntnam County; rare. August 12. A single female taken 

 fi'om beneath the bark of a maple log. It is more robust, less shin- 

 ing and more densely punctured beneath than the single male type 

 in the Cambridge collection. 



1448 (4410). Leptoschema dtscalceatum Say, Trans. Amer. Phil. Soc, 



VI, 1836. 109; ibid. II, 604. 



Elongate, rather slender. Kefldish or pale chestnut-brown, very sparse- 

 ly clothed with fine yellowish pubescence; beneath pale, dull brownish-yel- 

 low. Clypeus prominent, subtruncate. Second and third joints of anteunne 

 shorter than in hicolor, the outer joints broader, with the angles better de- 

 fined, thus causing them to appear more serrate. Thorax slightly longer 

 than broad, sides broadly rounded on apical half; disk more sparsel.v, 

 coarsely and unevenly punctured than in hicolor; hind angles slightly di- 

 varicate, strongly and obliquely carinate. Elytra with sides parallel to 

 apical fourth, thence converging to a broadly rounded apex; striae finely 

 punctate; intervals subconvex, sparsely punclulate. Length 11.5-13 mm. 



Laporte and Pulton counties; rare. May 2(5- August '■]. Taken 

 from beneath bark of dead tamarack and pine.
