2 Ainpeloglypter loiigipeiinis n. sp. — Sul)-oval, moderately con- 

 vex, very highly polished ; body and antennas throughout intense black ; tarsi 

 rufous ; setae very minute. Head opaque ; beak shining, rugulosely punctate 

 at the sides, rather slender, moderately arcuate and fully one-half longer 

 than the prothorax in the female, distinctly shorter, more arcuate and a little 

 stouter in the male ; antennae nearly as in sesostri.i. Prothorax short, nearly 

 two-thirds wider than long, the sides strongly convergent and nearly straight 

 to apical third, then broadly rounded and more convergent to the broad and 

 subtubulate apex, the latter not more than one-half as wide as the base ; disk 

 with scarcely a trace of impunctate line, the punctures very fine, sparse and 

 irregularly distributed, forming longitudinal rugse at the sides. Scutellum 

 very small, rounded. Elytra two-fifths longer than wide, nearly two and one- 

 half times as long as the prothorax, and, at base, a little wider than the latter ; 

 humeri longitudinally tumid and somewhat prominent ; sides behind them 

 feebly convergent and nearly straight, the apex abruptly rounded ; disk with 

 extremely fine but deep abrupt grooves and wide flat subimpunctate intervals 

 as in ater, the grooves finely, reinotely punctate at the bottom. Under surface 

 and abdomen toward the sides very densely punctate but not very dull in 

 lustre. Length 3.0-3.3 mm.; width 1.3-1.6 mm. 



Pennsylvania; Maryland; Nebra^-ka. 



This species is allied to sesoatria, having an entirely similar struc- 

 ture of the prothorax, beak and antennse, but is larger, still more 

 highly polished especially toward the sides of the upper surface, 

 intense black in color and with relatively longer elytra, the protho- 

 rax, also, is shorter and broader, with the sides more rapidly con- 

 vergent from the base, and the tubulate apical portion is shorter, 

 less abrupt and much narrower when compared with the l)asal 

 width. The pronotum is more finely punctate and devoid of im- 

 punctate line, but .occasionally has a small impressed fovea at the 

 centre of the disk. The two specimens from Maryland have the 

 elytra dark castaneous but do not otherwise differ. Sixteen exam- 

 ples. Lovgipennis is generally confounded in cabinets with cder.

Rather narrowly oval, moderately convex, polished, pale red- 

 brown throughout, the seta3 extremely minute. Head dull, obso- 

 letely punctulate; beak shining, rather slender and one-half longer 

 than the prothorax in the female, feebly arcuate, abruptly more 

 strongly so at base, the transverse impression rather strong; an- 

 tennae inserted just behind the middle, the funicle rather slender, 

 the second joint much longer than wide and fully one-half longer 

 than the third, three to seven equal in length, gradually wider, the
