dominal spots distinct and ochreous in color. Head much less 

 than one-half as wide as the prothorax, densely punctate, squam- 

 ulose, the fovea small and slightly elongate ; eyes rather convex, 

 separated b^- perceptibly- less than twice their own width ; beak 

 slender, about as long as the prothorax, somewhat gradually di- 

 lated at apex, densely punctate, the dorsal carina strong and sub- 

 entire ; antenniB moderately stout, the second funicular joint a 

 little narrower and much longer than the first. Prothorax one- 

 fourth wider than long, the sides unevenly convergent from base 

 to apex, obtusely prominent before the middle ; apex not more 

 than two-thirds as wide as the base, rectilinearly truncate as 

 nsual ; disk coarsely and densely punctato-rugose, the median 

 carina narrow and strongly elevated. Elytra nearlj' one-half 

 longer than wide, distinctly less than twice as wide as the pro- 

 thorax, gradually and arcuately narrowed in ogive behind the 

 middle, the sutural angles individually slightly and obtusel3^ 

 prominent; humeri rounded to the prothorax; disk in profile 

 gradually and rather feebly declivous behind to the immediate 

 apex, which is somewhat porrect, finely and densely punctato- 

 rugose throughout. Length 9.0-10.2 mm.; width 3.9-4.5 mm. 



Wisconsin (Bayfield, — Mr. Wickham) and Missouri. This spe- 

 cies has heretofore been confounded with the European palusb'is 

 Scop., which it somewhat resembles. It differs however from pa- 

 lustris, as represented by the numerous European examples be- 

 fore rae, in its more elongate form, much larger and more trans- 

 verse prothorax carinate along the middle, in its carinate beak 

 and much sparser vestiture. In the European species the beak 

 is still more slender, more cylindrical and is generally wholly 

 devoid of carina, though having occasionally a feeble trace, and 

 the pronotum is not carinate as it is in geminatuH. 



L.. oregoiilis n. sp. — Somewhat narrow and elongate, nioderatelj- convex, 

 black and rather dull, the vestiture nearly as in geminatux. Head fully one- 

 half as wide as the prothorax, the fovea small, rounded, deep and perforate; 

 eyes convex and separated by about twice their own width; beak long and 

 slender, very feebly arcuate, much longer than the prothorax and subcylindrical, 

 moderately punctato-rugose, the carina feeble, whoU}- obsolete toward base; 

 antenuic long and slender, the second funicular joint narrower and almost one- 

 half longer than the first. J'rotliorax small, only just visibly wider than long, 

 the sides parallel and nearly straight to slightly beyond the middle, then un- 

 evenly convergent and sinuate to tlie apex, wliich is fully three-fourths as wide 

 as the base; disk coarsely rugose, the median carina narrow and very strongly
