EuscliiMtllS i nihil iim n. sp. — Size and general aspect of servus to which it 

 is closely related. Head about as in servus with the punctures finer; the lateral 

 lobes slightly longer than the tylus, depressed, with the edges a little reflexed. 

 Pronotum more depressed anteriorly, and particularly within the middle of the 

 lateral margins than in servus, the sides rather deeply sinuated, and crenulated 

 anterior to the middle ; humeral angles subaeutely rounded ; surface finely punc- 

 tured, more obscurely so across the middle of the disk, the punctures segregated 

 toward the lateral margins and forming a blackish patch behind the anterior 

 angles and several small spots before the callousities, or there may be four black 

 dots in a square on the anterior middle; median line obscurely la?vigate. 

 Scutellum more closely punctured, but less so than in servus: the apex much 

 broader and more rounded. Elytra rather sparsely and finely punctured, espec- 

 ially on the discal area, the whole surface dotted with little groups of black 

 punctures. Membrane dark grey, dotted with fuscous, the nervures concolorous. 

 Connexivum with square blackish spots against the incisures, on which the 

 punctures are pale. Whole lower surface pale yellow, punctured and flecked 

 with rufous. Stigmata, and sometimes two punctures behind them, black. Edge 

 of the abdomen with a conspicuous black dot at each incisure. Legs rufous, 

 more or less punctured with darker and with about four larger black dots on 

 each femora beneath ; the spines on the anterior femora very small. Rostrum 

 as in servus, reaching to the hind coxa?, the tip and a median line beneath black. 

 Antenna rufus, fifth. joint and apex of the fourth dusky, second and third sub- 

 equal. Leugth 11-13 mm. Width across the humeri 7-8 mm. 



Described from 12 examples taken by Prof. E. D. Ball in Colo- 

 rado ; and one specimen collected in Beulah, New Mexico, August 

 17th, by Dr. Henry Skinner. This species is closely related to 

 servus but may be readily distinguished by the rufous color beneath, 

 the depressed pronotum, with an obscure longitudinal smooth line,
