pubescent abdomen, with the basal impressions much shorter or 

 finer, extending- only very slightly upon the disk of the plates 

 Two specimens. 



G, flisciceps 11. sp. — Slender, depressed, pale rufo-testaceous, tlie head 

 darker, piceous ; elytra more flavate ; antennse dusky, pale toward base ; legs 

 very pale ; head shining, minutely, densely and distinctly punctate ; pro- 

 iiotum fe(jhly alutaceous, somewhat reticulate, very minutely and not dis- 

 tinctly punctate ; elytra feebly alutaceous, minutely, very densely and rather 

 more distinctly, the abdomen minutely feebly and sparsely, punctate ; pubes- 

 cence fine, short, dense, especially on the elytra ; abdomen very sparsely but 

 more coarsely pubescent. Head nearly as long as wide, distinctly shorter and 

 slightly narrower than the prothorax, the neck two-thirds of the width across 

 the eyes, the latter moderate, at one-half more than their length from the base ; 

 vertex just visibly, longitudinally impressed in the middle; antennae long, 

 very feebly incrassate, fully as long as the prothorax and elytra, the basal 

 joint longer and slightly thicker than the second, the latter subcylindrical 

 and perceptibly longer than the third, which is obconical and elongate, four 

 to ten obconical, loosely connected, deeply concave at ajiex as usual, the fourth 

 as long as wide, shorter than the fifth, tenth very slightly wider than long, 

 eleventh rather large, fully as long as the two preceding. Prothorax nearly 

 quadrate, rounded at the sides and narrowed in apical third, the apex broadly, 

 feebly arcuate ; sides feebly convergent and straight in basal two-thirds ; base 

 feebly arcuate, the angles nearly right and very pronounced ; disk feebly, 

 transversely convex, scarcely at all impressed. Elytra quadrate, parallel and 

 straight at the sides, one-third wider and longer than the prothorax, the 

 humeri exposed at base; suture narrowly impressed behind the scutellum. 

 Abdomen as long as the anterior parts, distinctly narrower than the elytra, the 

 sides parallel and straight, the first three segments with large deep impres- 

 sions, the fourth scarcely impressed and much shorter than the fifth ; basal 

 segments with the raised basal part broadly emarginate posteriorly in nearly 

 circular arc. Length 2.7 mm. ; width 0.55 mm. 



New York (Catskills) ; North Carolina (Asheville). 



Readily distinguishable from those which precede by the less 

 punctate abdomen, shorter third antennal joint and smaller eyes. 

 I can see no sexual marks of prominence in my three specimens. 



G. liueata n. sp. — Narrow, linear and depressed, rufo-piceous, shining, 

 the abdominal apex, legs and basal parts of the antennae pale; head and 

 pronotum feebly reticulate, minutely, closely but not very distinctly punctate, 

 the elytra more asperately and distinctly but scarcely more densely so, the 

 abdomen sparsely, extremely minutely and feebly ; pubescence anteriorly 

 very short, dense, on the abdomen v^a-y sparse as usual, long and fimbriate at 

 the apices of the basal segments. Head large, fully as wide as the prothorax, 

 nearly as long as wide, the neck very broad, fully three-fourths as wide ; eyes
