slender, the outer short and somewhat more rohiist ; tarsi very long and 

 strongly compressed. Length 21.5-26.0 mm. ; width 5.7-6.5 mm. 



Colorado. 



A large and conspicuous species belonging near funehris, but 

 larger in size and more sparsely punctured, with a larger head and 

 much longer antennae. The antennae are notably longer and more 

 slender than in any other species, the third joint being 2.0 mm. in 

 length in the male and 1.4 mm. in the female, the entire length in 

 the latter sex being distinctly more than one-half that of the body. 

 This species, which is represented before me by four specimens, is 

 one of the most interesting of the novelties contained in the Levette 

 cabinet. 



E. dtiplicata n. sp. — Moderately robust, cuneiform, black throughout 

 the body, legs and antennae, completely dull above, shining beneath ; pubes- 

 cence cinereous and black, short, recumbent, moderately dense and extremely 

 coarse, black on the upper portions of the disk of the head and pronotum ex- 

 cept along the median line, each elytron narrowly cinereous along the suture 

 and external and apical margins, and also with a median vitta which is com- 

 posed of two fine vittffi widely separated throughout but fused together at base 

 and apex, the black pubescence similar in structure to the cinereous. Htad 

 finely, rather densely punctate, with a small oblique polished space near the 

 base of each antenna ; eyes moderate, normal ; antenujB short and rather stout, 

 but filiform, feebly compressed, scarcely one-half longer than the head, the 

 joints subparallel and compactly joined, the second one-half as long as the 

 third. Prothorax distinctly narrower than the head, a little wider than long, 

 widest at anterior third, finely, deeply, rather densely punctate. Elytra dis- 

 tinctly increasing in width from base to near the apex where they are about 

 twice as wide as the prothorax, about twice as long as wide, completely 

 concealing the abdomen ; sides nearly straight ; disk finely, densely punc- 

 tate. Under surface sparsely clothed witli cinereous pubescence, the abdomen 

 polished, rather coarsely but sparsely punctate. Ze^s moderate ; spurs of the 

 liind tibije very unequal, the inner slightly shorter, rather slender and very 

 acute, the outer robust. Length 9.0 mm. ; width 3.2 mm. 



Arizona (Fort Apache). 



The single representative appears to be a female. This species 

 is very isolated in many of its characters, but for the present may 

 be placed near sanguinicoUis. The general characteristics of vesti- 

 ture and ornamentation are quite different from anything else in 

 our fauna.
