638 Coleopterological Notices, VI. 



Head less minutely and very closely punctate; legs pale. 



Elytra tinely, densely sculptured and pubescent; protliorax more rapidly 



narrowed anteriorly than posteriorly iiiiirina Fab. 



Elytra coarsely and much nu)re rugosely sculptured, more coarsely and 

 sparsely pubescent; prothorax equally ol)li(iue anteriorly and poste- 

 riorly, widest at the middle ovicollis n. sp. 



Last joint of the antennse but slightly longer than the penultimate; body red- 

 brown throughout, the head more oblong Iiruiinea n. sp. 



Judging hy the Hgure of M. linearis Newm., reproduced by La- 

 Ferte, it seems impossible to associate it with any species of Ma- 

 cratria now known. If rediscovered it will probably prove to be 

 the type of a distinct genus, w'hich must be called Macratria, the 

 species here tabulated to be then known as Macrarthria Er. 



H. OTicollis. — Moderately slender, black, the legs, antenna; and palpi 

 ochreo-testacous, the femora feelily nubilate with Inown near the apex and the 

 ninth and tenth antennal joints darker toward base; puliescence moderately 

 dense, yello-\\-ish, readily removable. Head as long as wide, broadly subtrun- 

 cate at base, paler toward apex, the eyes separated on the front b}' rather less than 

 twice their own width ; antennae about as long as the head and prothorax, fili- 

 form, the ninth and tenth joints subequal and each one-half longer than the 

 eighth, second very nearly as long as the third. Prothorax two-lifths longer than 

 wide, one-half longer and just visibly wider than the head, the sides evenly 

 and strongly arcuate from apex to base, the base, immediately in advance of 

 the basal depression, strongly rounded, rather more prominent than the basal 

 bead and more feebly sculptured; disk feebly, evenly convex, very densely 

 punctato-rugose. Elytra at base one-third wider than the prothorax, a little 

 more than twice as long as wide, the sides straight and very feebly convergent 

 from base to apex ; disk rather shining when denuded, roughly and seriately 

 asperato-rugose, the intervals finely, densely punctato-rugose. Under surface 

 minutely, densely punctate, the legs stout. Length 4.5 mm. ; width 1.0 mm. 



New York. 



The male type has the fifth ventral not longer than the fourth, 

 broadly, transversely truncate at apex and very broadly, feebly 

 impressed on the disk almost throughout the width. I have for 

 the present associated with the t3'pe two females which, however^ 

 have the prothorax widest at apical third. 



M. Iiriiiiiiea. — Moderately stout, the male more slender, dark red- 

 brown, the head paler, rufous, the antennie, palpi, anterior and intermediate 

 legs paler, ochraceous; hind legs piceous; sculpture throughout fine, very 

 dense, the surface not shining; pubescence short, very dense, yellowish-cine- 

 reous in color. Head oblong-oval, as long as wide, finely, densely punctate, 

 truncate at base; eyes separated by twice their own width; tempora strongly
