 visibly wider; humeri strongly swollen; punctures moderately 

 coarse, deep, impressed, somewhat close-set and even. Abdomen 

 minutely, densely punctulate and clothed with long and abun-

 width 1.3 mm. 



Arizona. The specimen described agrees with the original 

 type and is a female. Atricornis is a very distinct species in 

 general appearance, owing to the long and gradually narrowed

Slender, subcjdindrical, shining, black, the elytra picescent ; 

 legs pale rufo-ferruginous, the femora piceous ; antennae dark 

 piceous, the basal joint still darker; pubescence short, rather 

 fine and moderately dense, decumbent, cinereous and distinct. 

 Head more than three-fourths as wide as the prothorax, finely, 

 sparsely punctate, nearly smooth ; impressions elongate and 

 feeble, remote, separated at apex by a small tumid area ; epi- 

 stoma and labrum short, each slightly pale at apex, the latter 

 truncate ; eyes moderately large and prominent, slightly distant 

 from the prothorax ; antenna? slender, about one-third longer than 

 the prothorax, the fifth joint only slightly dilated, outer joints 

 transversely ovoidal. Prothorax nearly one-half wider than 

 long, the sides parallel, moderately arcuate, more strongly so 

 behind the middle ; angles obtuse but only slightly blunt, the 

 basal ver}' distinct; apex broadly, feebly arcuate, the base much 

 more strongly so ; punctures small and sparse, the surface 

 smooth, only feebly subrugose near the sides, the marginal fim- 

 briae well developed, dense and even. Elytra long, four-fifths 

 longer than wide, distinctly wider than the prothorax, parallel
