Described from <'iii!it s[)ecinH'ns t;ikcii ia fountain, INTarion, 

 Vis>-o, Crawford and Posey counties. A|)ril 9-Octo1)er 6. Taken 

 from beneath bark of oak. Those taken on Oetol)cr 6 were in mud 

 or dirt cells beneath deeply btiried loos on wooded hillside in Vigo 

 County, and \\ore just emerging as imagoes. Probably confused 

 with vespertina in most collections, but readily distinguished by the 

 carinate suture of clypeus and close, irregular punctuation of tho- 

 rax. The color in all specimens at hand is uniform and not vari- 

 able as in vc^periina or the next.

 smaller, one-half as deep ; surface finely and sparsely punctate ; front more 

 coarsely and sparsely punctate. Thorax more convex than in vespertina. 

 sides feebly curved, surface finely and rather sparsely but evenly punctate. 

 Elytra moderately deeply sulcate, the grooves each with two or three irregu- 

 lar rows of rounded, more or less confluent punctures; intervals subeon- 

 vex, sparsely punctured, the punctui-es as large as those of the grooves.
