punctate, alntaceous. Legs somewhat short and stont. Length

Regions near the Great Lakes. The male of this very isolated 

 species has the posterior trochanters simple, the hind tibiae in- 

 crassate and feebh', inwardly arcuate, the fifth ventral distinctly 

 longer than the fourth, very broadly arcuato-truucate throughout 

 the width, the genital segment black, corneous, very broadly 

 arcuato-truncate, polished and with a large rounded median im- 

 pression. 



20. A. moiiticola n. sp. — Kather stout, shining, black throughout, the 

 tibia? and tarsi pale; pubescence coarse, cinereous, moderately short, abundant 

 and conspicuous. Head large, subquadrate, moderately convex, broadly arcu- 

 ato-truncate and broadly, feebly impressed at base, the angles broadly rounded 

 into the tempora, Avhich become parallel behind the eyes, the latter prominent, 

 rather large, at one-balf mcjre than their own length from the base; surface 

 .somewhat finely Init strongly, moderately closely punctured, with a narrow 

 entire impunctate line; antennie not quite as long as the head and prothorax, 

 very feebly incrassate, the tenth joint not distinctly elongate. Prothorax 

 rather large, slightly narrower than the head, as wide as long, rounded on the 

 sides anteriorly, obliquely naiTowed thence to the basal margin, which is de- 

 fined by a fine impressed line and dilated somewhat at the sides; punctures 

 somewhat coarse deep and close. Elytra three-fourths longer than wide, per- 

 ceptibly more than twice as wide as the prothorax, slightly wider at the mid- 

 dle than at base; apex rather broadly rounded; scutellar impression feeble; 

 oinoplates obsolete; punctures strong and somewhat close but not very coarse. 

 Abdomen shining, finely, closely punctate, the pubescence short, fine and rather 

 dense. Legs somewhat long and slender. Length 3.2 mm. ; width 1.05 mm. 



Wyoming (Laramie). 



The four specimens before me do not exhibit any variation, and 

 their sex is not apparent. This species is not comparable very 

 closely with any other known to me. 



21. A. ceplialotes n. sp. — Ixuther narrow and subdepressed, polished, 

 black, the legs piceo-rufous; pul)escence moderately long, cinereous, somewhat 

 dense and distinct. Head large, convex, subquadrate, slightly transverse, 

 broadly truncate and feebly impressed at base, the angles rounded, the tem- 

 pora becoming parallel at a c(msid(!ra))le distance behind the eyes, the latter 

 moderate in size; surface rather coarsely and densely punctate, with a narrow 

 and entire impunctate line; antennie missing in the type, jtale at bjxse. Pro- 

 thorax rather small, not more than three-fourths as wide as the head, not longer 

 than wide, widest and somewhat narrowly rounded near apical fourth, the 

 sides thence rather strongly and somewhat arcuately convergent to the feeble 

 ante-basal constriction; basal margin defined by a fine impressed line; puue- 

 turcB rather fine but strong, not dense, the surface moderately convex and
