Coleopferological Notices, V. 303 



T. an^lIstiTentris n. sp. — Rather convex, dark red-brown, the abdo- 

 men darker with the apex pale; legs and antennae throughout pale brownish- 

 flavate ; anterior parts rather dull, finely, extremely densely but somewhat 

 distinctly, subasperately punctate, the elytra a little less densely and sub- 

 rugosely; abdomen more shining, minutely, much less closely punctulate ; 

 pubescence very short but somewhat coarse and close, distinct, long and 

 sparsely fimbriate at the apices of the abdominal segments. Head wider than 

 long, three-fifths as wide as the prothorax ; antennae much longer than the 

 head and prothorax, moderately incrassate. Prothorax fully three-fourths 

 wider than long, the sides very feebly convergent from base to apex, broadly, 

 nearly evenly arcuate from above, widest just behind the middle ; apex 

 broadly sinuate ; apical angles deflexed, obtuse, not rounded ; basal obtuse, 

 rather prominent, not in the least rounded ; base broadly arcuate, just visibly 

 sinuate near the basal angles ; disk broadly, evenly convex. Elytra one-half 

 wider than long, broadly, deeply emarginate at apex, very slightly longer 

 than the prothorax and equally wide ; sides subparallel, very feebly arcuate; 

 base equal to the pronotal base ; humeri not in the least visible ; disk trans- 

 versely convex, just visibly impressed behind tlie scutellum. Alnlomen at 

 base much narrower than the elytra, much longer than the anterior parts ; 

 sides parallel and straight but convergent toward apex ; border thick. Length 

 2.0-2.4 mm. ; width 0.6 mm. 



Rhode Island ; Florida; Iowa. 



Readily identifiable by the wide convex pronotum and elytra and 

 abruptly narrow parallel abdomen ; the prothorax is less strongly 

 narrowed anteriorly than in laticollis. 



T. asperata n. sp. — Subparallel, somewhat convex, red-brown ; legs 

 and antennae throughout pale, flavescent ; head piceous ; abdomen brighter 

 red, with the fourth segment piceous-black ; head and abdomen very minutely, 

 sparsely punctulate ; pronotum and elytra strongly, asperately, densely and 

 equally punctured ; pubescence short, stiflf, subrecumbent, rather dense and 

 distinct, sparse on the abdomen. Head orbicular, as long as wide, three-fifths 

 as wide as the prothorax ; antennae moderately incrassate, much longer than 

 the head and prothorax, outer joints slightly transverse. Prothorax rather 

 more than three-fourths wider than long, throughout nearly as in angustiven- 

 tri^, but with the apical angles distinctly rounded when viewed laterally, and 

 the basal obtuse and just visibly blunt. Elytra scarcely as wide as the pro- 

 thorax and fully one-third longer, the apex transversely truncate, just visibly 

 sinuate toward the middle and deeply so near each external angle ; sides 

 parallel and almost straight ; humeri not in the least exposed ; base equal to 

 the pronotal base ; disk not distinctly impressed and but slightly more than 

 one-third wider than long. Abdomen only slightly but distinctly narrower 

 than the elytra, scarcely longer than the anterior parts ; sides straight and 

 parallel, feebly convergent toward apex ; first five segments exactly equal in 

 length. Legs, coxae and tarsi as in angusticentris. Length 2.0 mm. ; width 

 0.5 mm.
