 pressions feeble ; epistoma and labrum piceous-black, short, the latter arcuato-

 tinctly incrassate and clothed with short, erect bristling setae near the apex, 

 the fifth joint distinctly dilated, tenth somewhat transverse. Pvnthorux trans-

 evenly arcuate; apex broadly arcuato-truncate, the angles rounded; base feebly 

 arcuate, the angles very obtuse but only slightly rounded; disk coarsely 

 reticulate, strongly so toward the apex and l)ecoming slightly scabrous near 

 the sides; punctures sparse, rather small; marginal cilia long. £'/^^-a oblong, 

 three-fifths longer than wide, slightly though distinctly' wider than the pro-

The single male before me is but slightly modified at the ab- 

 dominal vertex, the fifth segment being evenlj- truncate at tip 

 and otherwise normal. The species is quite distinct, and will be 

 readily known by its convex, sparsely' pubescent surface, bicol- 

 ored legs and other features. 



17. T. feinoralis n. sp. — Elongate-oval, strongly convex, shining, black, 

 without ajneous lustre, the legs rufo-ferruginous with the femora black; an- 

 tennae piceo-testaceous, the two basal and two or three apical joints slightly 

 blackish; pul>escence very short, rather coarse, s^jarse and cinereous. Ifead 

 less than two-thirds as wide as the prothorax; longitudinally convex, reticu- 

 late, not medially impressed toward base, finely and sparsely punctate, the an- 

 terior impressions feeble; epistoma very short with a fine pale and coriaceous 

 apical margin; labrum unusually small, short, pale at the margins, the apex 

 truncate toward the middle; eyes large but not prominent; antennaj moderate 

 in length, rather stout, the outer joints incrassate and hispid with short erect 

 seta,', tenth decidedly transverse. Prothorax transversely oval, somewhat more 

 than one-lialf wider than long, the sides parallel and strongly, evenly arcuate; 

 angles obtuse and rounded; base and apex broadly arcuate, the latter slightly 

 the less strongly so; disk reticulate, finely, sparsely punctiite, more strongly 

 so and with the surface slightly scabrous and less shining toward the sides. 

 Elytra short, not quite one-half longer than wide, only slightly wider than 

 the prothorax, gradually dehiscent behind, parallel, evenly rounded at apex, 

 the humeri only very feebly tumid; punctures coarse, sparse, deep and im- 

 pres.sed. Legs rather long, the femora polished, with the extreme tips rufous. 

 Length 2.l>5 mm.; width O.i) nun.
