Coleoptera 21 e 
No. 167, Langton bay (Franklin bay), Northwest Territories, summer 
1911, V. Stefansson, collector, is another aberrant specimen, partly denuded, 
with brownish hairs. 
No. 747, Bernard harbour, Northwest Territories, July 17, 1915, F. Johansen, 
collector, is another still more difficult specimen to place, for it is almost entirely 
denuded and looks therefore quite different. It is however, the same species 
as those described above and exhil)its actual sculpture of the surface, which is 
scabrous throughout except that on the front part of the thorax it becomes 
evidently distinctly punctate. 
The tribe Alphini, to which the species described above belongs is repre- 
sented by numerous species in Siberia. I have tried to identify this species 
with one of them without success; and as most of the described Species occur 
in the region of Lake Baikal, while it is in northeastern Siberia that the fauna 
nrore nearly resembles that of America, it seems probable that it has heretofore 
escaped discovery, though evidently abundant in the Canadian Arctic Region. 
Genus Sitona Germ. 
Sitona discoidea Gyllenhal (?). 
Bernard harbour. Northwest Territories, July 6, 7, 1915; F. Johansen 
collector, No. 1248. 
The condition of the single specimen of this species makes an exact identifi- 
cation impossible.
