272 H. C. FALL. 



It is evident from the above localities that this species is dis- 

 tinctly a northern one. It is conspicuously different from all our 

 other species in its subrecumbent or strongly inclined pubescence 

 and black antennal club in the male. 



3. C. similis Say. — A little less strongly rotundate than oculata ; eyes in 

 the male longer, incised for about three-fourths their length, the front not or but 

 just visibly wider than the longest diameter of the eye; eyes in the female 

 smaller and nearly divided, the front much wider, and "nearly as in oculata. 

 Sculpture, pubescence, antennal and palpal structure virtually as in oculata. 

 Length 2.3-2.5 mm. 



Hab. —Massachusetts (Tyngsboro) ; North Carolina (Black 

 Mountains and Round Knob). 



A single specimen from the former locality collected by Mr. 

 Blanchard, and numerous examples from the latter taken by Dr. 

 Van Dyke and Messrs. Hubbard and Schwarz. It is evident from 

 Say's description that his type was a female, and it has been 

 assumed that it was oculata, and so set down as a synonym by Le 

 Conte. So far as his description goes he may have had either 

 oculata or the present species before him, and since — judging from 

 the material at hand — the present, one is rather the more common 

 of the two in North Carolina, I have chosen to use Say's name for 

 it rather than coin a new one. 



4. C. lateralis Lee — Similar in form to oculata, but much smaller, and 

 with grayer pubescence. Terminal joints of palpi not quite as broad as in 

 oculata; last antennal joint about three times as long as wide, less acutely 

 rounded at tip, not sinuate on its inner side, scarcely differing in the sexes. 

 Seventh joint in the male less strongly produced than in oculata. The punctures 

 of the ventral segments are much less numerous than in oculata, there being 

 about three punctures in the segmental width here, to five in oculata; the head 

 is more sparsely punctate than in oculata. Length 1.2-1.5 mm. 



Hab. — Florida (Crescent City and Tampa, Hubbard and 

 Schwarz collection); North Carolina (Bowditch collection). 



The marginal stria of the lateral lobe of the elytra referred to 

 by LeConte is purely imaginary. 



5. C. oculata Say. — Rotundate-oval ; strongly convex; polished ; black, the 

 head frequently rufous or rufescent, antenna and legs, especially the four ante- 

 rior ones, rufous or rufotestaceous ; pubescence erect, ochreo-cinereous. Termi- 

 nal joints of maxillary and labial palpi (figs. 3 and 4) broadly triangular, the 

 former nearly as wide as long, the latter slightly transverse, the apex squarely 

 truncate or very nearly so in both. Seventh' joint of antennae {%) (fig. 1) as 

 long as tha five preceding, strongly acutely and somewhat sinuously produced
