 Oliloug. robust. Dull sooty-brown or piceous, sparsely aiul finely pubes- 

 cent. Third joint of antennte slightly longer than fourth, much longer than 

 second. Thorax of male subquadrate, feebly convex, sides nearly straight, 

 disk coarsely and densely pinictate, hind angles strongly diverging; that 

 of female wider than long, strongly convex, sides broadly rounded, a deep 

 impression each side along front margin. Elytral strije feebly impressed 

 with rather coarse punctures; intervals of male flat, densely and roughly 

 punctulate ; of female subconvex, finely and sparsely punctulate. Length 

 9-12 mm. 



Crawford County; scarce. Juno 2r)-Jiuie 28. Beaten from 

 foliage of oak. The so-called female is vci-y different in appear- 

 ance from the male. In addition to the distinctions above f^iven, 

 the body is much moi'e rolmst. dark shining chestnnt-])rown in color 

 and much less pubescent. It was described as C. crassus Lee. and 

 may yet prove to be a distinct species. The mere fact that two 

 I)eetles widely different in appearance are sometimes found in com- 

 pany, or even rarely in coitii, does not furnish absolute proof of 

 their identity.

 feebly rounded; disk finely and sparsely punctate on middle, more densely 

 on sides, with a faint median impressed line; hind angles slightly diverging, 

 distinctly carinnte. Pllytra with sides parallel to apical third, thence strongly 

 converging to apex ; strije finely and closely punctate ; intervals subconvex, 

 sparsely and rather coarsely and roughly punctulate. Lengtli 15-28 mm. 



Throughout the State, frequent ; more so in the southern coun- 

 ties. IMay 10— Tune 20. Occurs usually beneath stones and rubbish 

 on hiarb, dry liills; also on Virginia creeper, PartJicnoci.'^siis quiiiqur-
