scarcely more than three-fourths as long as the prothorax, roughly 

 punctured, dull, sparsely squamulose, the antennae inserted dis- 

 tinctly beyond the middle, short, the basal joint of the fonicle 

 robust, not as long as the next three, the second a little longer than 

 wide and slightly longer than the third, outer joints transverse ; 

 club densely pubescent, rather robust and fully as long as the pre- 

 ceding five joints together. Prothorax subconical, slightly wider 

 than long, the sides evenly, feebly arcuate, the apical constriction 

 distinct; apex three-fourths as wide as the base; punctures rather 

 fine, shallow and sparse, the impunctate line distinct. Elytra 

 oblong, parallel, obtusely rounded l)ehind, distinctly wider than the 

 prothorax and more than twice as long; striae fine, abrupt; inter- 

 vals fully three times as wide as the grooves, each with a single 

 series of minute, extremely distant punctures. Prosternum broadly, 

 very feebly impressed, with a feeble elevated cusp before each coxa, 

 and a small foveiform pit just behind the apex, the coxiie separated 

 by three fifths of their own width. Length 2.3-2.9 mm; width 

 0.9-1.2 mm. 



The four specimens before me are from New York, Virginia, Iowa 

 and Texas, the latter being the only female. In this sex the beak 

 is very slender, cylindrical, nearh' straight, as long as the head and 

 prothorax, and the antennos are longer and with a more slender club, 

 but, as the elytral punctures are not by any means so distinct as in 

 the northern specimens, it may not actually belong to this species. 



17 L.imnol>aris COnclirreilS n. sp. — Oblong-oval, distinctly convex, 

 lilack, moderately shining and siibglabrous throughout, the minute slender 

 setiform squamules very sparse above and beneath, forming single series on 

 the elytra. Head dull, minutely, sparsely punctate, the transverse impres- 

 sion line and distinct, the basal portion of the beak feebly tumid above the 

 eyes ; beak in the male rather slender, cylindrical, coarsely, densely punc- 

 tured at the sides, fully as long as the prothorax, straight in basal two-thirds, 

 slightly arcuate tlience to tlie apex ; antennae inserted well beyond the middle, 

 the basal joint of the funicle robust, not as long as the next three, the second 

 scarcely one-half as long as the first and a little longer than wide, club very 

 narrow, elongate-oval, densely pubescent, as long as the five preceding joints 

 combined. Prothorax but slightly wider than long, the sides feebly convergent 

 and nearly straight to apical third, then broadly rounded, the apical constric- 

 tion distinct ; apex truncate, three-fifths as wide as the base, the latter broadly, 

 feebly bisinuate, the lobe small and feeble ; disk alntaceous, finely, not strongly, 

 sparsely punctate, the impunctate line narrow but almost entire. Scutellum 

 very small, subqtiadrate, glabrous. Elytra about one-third wider than the 

 prothorax and a little more than twice as long, parallel, evenly rounded in
