Thoracic carinse of the female divergent anteriorly aciltlis 



Thoracic carinje parallel. 



Larger species ; punctuation dense canalicillatus 



Smaller and less robust, the punctuation fine and sj^arse ; lustre strongly 

 ffineous aruiidiiiis 



Pronotum similar in the sexes and unmodified. 



Elytra dentate at apex ; pubescence uneven in distribution ...deutiger 

 Elytra unmodified at apex, the pubescence even in distribution. 



Apical angles of the prothorax very acute and anteriorly i^rominent. 



fiisiforiuis 

 Apical angles right or obtuse, not anteriorly prominent. 

 Elytra rugulose ; j^rothorax rather strongly transverse. 



plumbeus 



Elytra smooth, not at all rugulose, except occasionally toward the 

 sides. 

 Elytra very densely punctate throughout ; prothorax but very 



slightly wider than long OTalis 



Elytra sparsely punctate, at least toward the suture. 



Elytra nearly glabrous, each puncture with an extremely minute 



seta pi'lliliosus 



Elytra conspicuously pubescent, the pubescence white. 



vestitus 



Although by the characters given, ovalis is brought very near to 

 plumbeus, it is really quite distinct in general appearance from this 

 and all the other species, being unusually short, oval and convex. 



The material before me seems to indicate several closely allied 

 species in the neighborhood of canaliculatus, one male, especially, 

 has the punctuation very sparse throughout, with the apical angles 

 of the prothorax not at all everted. 



EPITRAGODES Cas. 



This name was proposed (Ann. N. Y. Acad., Y, p. 365) for the 

 species known as Epiti-agus tomenlosus Lee, the principal charac- 

 ters distinguishing it from Epitragus being the unexcavated meso- 

 sternum and the more or less seriate arrangement of the elytral 

 punctures. I have recently received another species, the two being 

 easily known by the following characters : — 



Body rather densely pubescent, the pubescence unevenly marmorate. 



tonieiitosus 



Body glabrous, each puncture bearing an infinitesimal seta entirely concealed 



within it jikliclli
