41. T. vitfis^r n. sp. — Oblony-tnal, stron<ily convex, polished, black, the 

 lefjs red throiijihout: anteniise testaceous, ffradually dusky beyond the middle; 

 p\ibescence rather lon*i, even in length, suberect, tine, sparse and cinereous, 

 brf>wnish or blackish in a subsutural vitta on each elytron not attaining the 

 apex and sometimes almost o>)literated ; marginal cilia dense and fimbriform. 

 Head about two-thirds as wide as the prothorax, finelj^, sparsely punctate, the 

 interspaces smooth and polished throughout; anterior impressions very feeble, 

 the median impunctate convexity l)ehind the ejjistoma conspicuous; epistoma 

 large, i>ale; la1)rum pale, rounded; ej'cs rather small and but slightly i)romi- 

 uent, not attaining the l)ase; antennae stout, moderate in length, the tenth 

 joint strongly transverse, Hfth dilated. Prothorax fully three-lifths wider 

 than long, the sides convergent, feebly and evenly arcuate from base to apex, 

 the latter truncixteand much narrower than the base, the latter broadly and dis- 

 tinctly arcuate; disk finely, sparsely punctate, the interspaces smooth through- 

 out, not at all rugose near the sides. Elt/tra two-fifths longer than wide, but 

 slightly wider than the prothorax, parallel and straight at the sides, verj' ob- 

 tusely rounded at apex, sparsely and somewhat coarsely ])unctate. Ahtlomcn 

 closely and rather coarsely cinereo-pubescent. Length 2.25-2.8 mm.; width 

 0.9-1.2 7nm. 



New Mexico. 



The male from which the description is drawn is much smaller 

 than the female, and has the fifth ventral evenly truncate at apex 

 but otherwise devoid of modification. In the female the head is 

 only slightly smaller when compared with the prothorax, but the 

 latter is decidedly smaller with regard to the elytra, and the dark 

 elytral stripes are much more evident in the single specimen rep- 

 resenting the latter sex. Two specimens. 



42. T. pi'Oiiiiiieiis n. sp. — Oblong, paiallel, rather stout, strongly con- 

 vex, black, without metallic lustre, polished; legs red throughout; antennne 

 blackish, joints three to five more or less rufous; pubescence cinereous, rather 

 long, dec-umbent and sparse anteriorly, dense, shorter, coarser ami inter- 

 mingled with erect cinereous setic uneven in distribution on the elytra; mar- 

 ginal cilia moderately long, pale and fimbriform. Head not much more than 

 one-half as wide as the prothorax, convex, very finely, sparsely punctate, the 

 interspaces smooth throughout; impressions large and very feeble; epistoma 

 short and broad, trapezoidal; labrum very small, strongly rounded; mandibles 

 somewhat well developed; eyes large but not prominent; antenn;c small 

 and slender, gradually and feebly incrassate, not as long as the prothorax, the 

 tenth joint moderately transverse, fifth not dilated. Prothorax three-fourths 

 wider than long, the sides distinctly convergent, evenly and extremely feebly 

 arcuate frcmi base to apex, the latter much narrower than the base, rectilin- 

 early truncfite but abruptly and antei'iorly oblique at the sides, the apical 

 angles anteriorly prominent, acute and but slightly blunt; basal angles slightly 

 acute, veiy feebly everted and liut slightly blunt; base feebly arcuato-trun-
