262 AMERICAN COLEOPTERA. 



It resembles schmittii very much in general appearance, but 

 besides the nude occipital fovese, it has the front more produced and 

 differently modified, the head slightly narrower,, intermediate anten- 

 nal joints not as stout, and the basal tlioracic crests not as sharply 

 pointed. It is perhaps best placed near globosus and foveicoriiis, 



Bati*i«<>odes antennatus n. sp. — Male. — Blackish brown, abdomen 

 darker, autenuge, palpi and legs pale, Head, including the eyes, slightly wider 

 than the thorax; eyes moderate, convex ; gense convergent and feebly arcuate ; 

 surface convex behind, and feebly punctured; fovese nude; circumambient sul- 

 cus obliterated in front; sides and front, outside of the sulcus, densely punc- 

 tured ; the front is triangularly declivous and separated from the clypeus by a 

 transversely impressed line; clypeus convex, coarsely punctured and not reflexed 

 at sides and without any modifications. Antennae as long or slightly longer than 

 head and thorax ; first joint stout, feebly arcuate below, second slightly longer 

 and a little stouter than third, third to eighth of equal width, but gradually de- 

 creasing in length, ninth larger and transverse, and as seen from the underside 

 acutely produced on the inner side, tenth slightly larger than the ninth, arcuate 

 on the outside and slightly acute on the inner side, eleventh large, ovoidal, 

 acuminate, npper surface convex, lower surface flat and with a large, transverse 

 aud very shallow excavation near base. Prothorax slightly longer than wide, 

 widest at about middle, apex a little narrower than base; median line feeble, at 

 sides deeply impressed ; fovese distinct; tubercles at best obtuse. Elytia slightly 

 wider than long, feebly punctate; humeri oblique, not spinose. Abdomen at 

 base slightly narrower than the elytra; last ventral segment simple. Legs long, 

 slender, posterior tibiae with apical spine. Length 2 mm. 



Black Mountain, North Carolina, September. 



This species has to be placed near punctifrons, which it resembles 

 in many ways, but is readily distinguished from that species by the 

 want of the small tubercle with the tuft of erect, flavate setse, the 

 different form of the ninth antennal joint and the basal transverse 

 impression on the eleventh. The form of the ninth and tenth an- 

 tennal joints as above described, can only be seen when the speci- 

 men is held in a certain position. 



Reicheiibachia dilatipes n. sp. — Convex, rufotestaceous, elytra and 

 abdomen more visibly punctate than the prothorax, on which hardly any punc- 

 tures are visible; pubescence very short, sparse and decumbent. Head including 

 the eyes as broad as the thorax in its widest part ; eyes moderately prominent, at 

 less than their own length from the base; antennae longer than head aud thorax, 

 second joint nearly as stout as the first but smaller, third and fourth subequal, 

 fifth and sixth of nearly equal length, but each longer and slightly stouter than 

 joint four, seventh shorter than the sixth, but equal in width, eighth very much 

 shorter than the seventh, ninth as long as the seventh, but stouter, tenth nearly 

 one and one-half as long as eighth and wider, eleventh as long as the ninth and 

 tenth together, elongate-oval. Prothorax slightly wider than long, widest before
