31. A. sodalis ii. sp. — Broad and stronjilv dejuesspd, rather shininji, black 

 throufihoiit, the femora piceous; tibise and tiirsi pale testaceous; antenna' pale 

 throughout, sometimes piceous distally; pubescence tine, short, even, plum- 

 beous and somewhat sparse. Head subquadrate, slightly transverse, broadly 

 truncate and medially impressed at base, the angles distinct but rounded; 

 tempora short but parallel, not as long as the eyes, the latter rather large and 

 prominent; surfiice polished, coarsely sparsely and somewhat unevenly piinc- 

 tate, with abroad uneven and entire smooth line; antenniu slender but rather 

 strongly incrassate, fully as long as the head and prothorax, the tenth joint 

 much longer than wide, second shorter than the third or fourth, the latter 

 equal and distinctly shorter than the fifth. Prothorax much narrower than 

 the head, as long as wide, moderately convex, widest and obtusely angulate 

 at apical fourth, the sides thence somewhat strongly convergent and straight 

 to the basal margin; apex broadly arcuate; collar rather long, roughly sculp- 

 tured, cylindrical, finely and feebly constricted at base; punctures strong l)itt 

 somewhat fine, dense. Elytra large, two-thirds longer than wide, fully twice 

 as wide as the prothorax, just visibly wider a little behind the middle than at 

 base; apex l>roadly, obtusely rounded; humeri very widely exposed; disk Hat, 

 the ])ost-scutellar impression wide and distinct; omoplates feeble; punctures 

 strong but not coarse, well separated. Abdomen broad, feebly alutaceous and 

 reticulate, extremely minutely, closely punctate throughout, the pubescence 

 not at all conspicuous. Legs rather long and slender. Length 3. 1-3.2 mm. ;^ 

 width 10-1. 2 mm. 



Indiana. 



A very distinct species, to be readily known b}- its broad de- 

 pressed form, peculiar outline of the prothorax, coarse cephalic 

 sculpture and other characters. It seems to lead quite naturally 

 to the peculiar group of spotted species which follows. The sex 

 of the two specimens before me is not determinable. 



32. A. Iieroiciltii n. sp. — Kather stout and convex, jjolished, black 

 throughout, the antenna? fuscous; legs testaceous, the femora darker; each 

 elytron with two large rufous spots, one suboval at basal fifth, the other more 

 rounded at ajjical fourth; j)ubescence rather long, even, semi-erect, coarse, 

 sparse but pale and conspicuous. Head nearly as long as wide, convex, liroiidly 

 arcuato-trunwite and broadly, feebly, medially impressed at base, the angles 

 broadly rounded; eyes large, prominent, at a little less than their own length 

 from the base; punctures fine, deep, somewhat close-set, with a wide impunc- 

 tate line which is subobsolete toward base; autennic stout, incrassate, shorter 

 than the head and prothorax, the tenth joint scarcely as long as wide. J'ro- 

 thorax quite distinctly narrower than the liead, scarcely as long as wide, 

 rounded at the sides anteriorly, obtusely constristed at basal fourth, rather 

 coarsely, closely and strongly punctate. Elyirn three-fourths longer than wide, 

 twice as wide as the prothorax, the sides j)arallel and feebly arcuate; apex not 

 very obtusely roirnded; humeri widely exposed, becoming transverse near the
