68 H. C. FALL. 



Elytra three times as long as the prothorax, costas distinct, slightly 

 prominent, all the intercostal spaces broadly confusedly punctate, the 

 second not much narrower than the subsutural one. Body beneath 

 densely but not very coarsely punctate at sides, more sparsely and 

 finely at middle. Upper tooth of front tibia very slightly ante-median; 

 ungual tooth broad, obliquely truncate subapical, its tip fully twice 

 as distant from the base as from the tip of the claw. Length 7.2-9 

 mm.; width 4-4.6 mm.

63. D. pubipes Schaef. 



Oblong-ovate, black, strongly shining, elytra imperfectly scarcely 

 visibly alutaceous. Mental declivity steep, beginning at about anterior 

 third, strongly margined behind. Clypeus broadly subtruncate at 

 middle, the truncation broadly feebly emarginate, the angles rather 

 narrowly rounded; front sparsely and finely punctate, smoother along 

 the suture, clypeus more densely punctate, the former slightly impressed 

 or concave at middle just behind the clypeal suture, which is finely 

 impressed laterally, obsolete at middle. Prothorax one-half to three- 

 fifths wider than long, sides nearly straight or feebly arcuate and 

 parallel in basal half, moderately convergent in front, all the angles 

 a little obtuse, the hind ones slightly rounded, surface finely not very 

 closely punctate, scutellum distinctly smaller than usual, the adjacent 

 surface of both prothorax and elytra impressed. Elytra one-third 

 longer than wide, two and one-half times as long as the prothorax, 

 evidently wider behind, costae moderately distinct, all the intercostae 

 rather wide and rather densely moderately coarsely punctate. Pro- 

 pygidium with sharply impressed apical groove; pygidium sparsely 

 punctate. Body beneath densely rather coarsely punctate at sides, 

 more sparsely and finely at middle. Upper tooth of front tibia strongly 

 ante-median. Tarsi densely pubescent beneath in the male, less 

 densely so in the female; ungual tooth subapical, broad, truncate at 

 apex, its tip nearly twice as far from the base as from the point of 

 the claw. Length 8.5-9 mm.; width 4.6-5 mm. 



Brownsville, Texas. Collected by Schaeffer, Beyer and 

 Wickham. 



One of the most distinct species of our fauna, easily recog- 

 nized by the very small scutellum, the circumscutellar im- 

 pression and pubescent tarsi. In this, as well as in other 

 species described by him, Mr. Schaeffer has considerably 

 overestimated the width of the prothorax in terms of its 

 length, as well as the length of the elytra in terms of its 

 width.
