 curs on deeayino- twio-s. Casey's type of A. macnlata was from In- 

 diana— Levetto collection— without definite locality. It is probably 

 of not more than varietal rank. 



Incolia lougiponns Casey, ehui-ate, parallel, blackish, sides of 

 thorax and streak on elytra paler, len<;-th P>.8 mm., was described as 

 beins' doubtfully from Indiana. 



III. PiSENi'S Casey. 1900. 



To this genus Casey ascri])es two species, one being that usually 

 listed under the I\l\-c"etophagida^ as Triphyllus humeralis Kirby. 

 The club of antennie is loosely three jointed ; thorax not flattened 

 at sides, the base broadly lobed at middle and as wide as the base of 

 elytra, so that the sides of both form a continuous arc ; eyes small, 

 very short and strongly transverse. 



2383 (3402). Pisenus humeralis Kirby, Faun. P.or. Amor., IV. 1837. 112. 



Elongate-oval, convex. Blaekish-piceons, shin- 

 ing, sparsely clothed with short, silken, yellowish 

 hairs; legs and antennai dark reddish-brown; hu- 

 meri of elytra obscure reddish. Thorax nearly 

 twice as wide as long, sides feebly rounded; sur- 

 face finely and rather densely punctate and with 

 a feeble impression each side at base. Elytra thro,' 

 times as long as thorax, more citarsoly and sparse- 

 ly punctate. Length 3-3.5 mm. (Fig. 571.) 



Throughout the State ; common on leathery 

 fungi, especially those growing on beech and 

 maple stumps. Probably hibernates as imago. March 10-Novem-
