166 CURCULIOS^ID^. 



[LeConte. 



7. D. long-ulus, n. sp. 



Ferruginous (immature?), mottled with cinereous pubescence. Beak as 

 long as the head and prothorax, nearly straight, not very slender, deeply 

 striate and punctured. Prothorax not wider than long, gradually narrowed 

 and rounded on the sides in front, and not constricted ; densely though not 

 coarsely pvinctured, with a slight trace of a smooth dorsal line. Elytra 

 elongate, one-quarter wider than the thorax, convex, transversely impressed 

 near the base, strise closely punctured, margin impressed just behind the 

 humerus. Thighs stout, with a broad tooth. Length 3.5 mm; .14 inch. 



One specimen from Alaska sent with D. rufulus, from which it is 

 abundantly distinct by the longer form, different prothorax, stouter and 

 more strongly toothed thighs. The transverse impression of the elytra 

 near the base is rather stronger than in D. luridus, and very much as in D. 

 suhsignat'us, with which it agrees except in the form of the prothorax. 



8. D. squamosus. AnthouomusX tessellatus\ Walsh, Proc. Ent. Soc, 

 Phila. vi, 207. 



Piceous, or ferruginous, mottled with pale depressed scale-like hairs. 

 Beak as long as the head and prothorax, not striate, punctured, nearly 

 smooth at tip. Prothorax a little wider than long, densely punctured, sides 

 rounded in front, and slightly constricted. Elytra one-third wider than the 

 prothorax, convex, striaa rather coarsely punctured. Thighs rather slen- 

 der, tooth small. 



Illinois and Kansas: bred by Mr. B. D. Walsh from galls which occur on 

 willow. Mr. Walsh recognized the resemblance in form to Erirhinuf^, 

 but unfortunately misplaced this species, in which the claws are simple 

 and divergent. 



9. D. Mannerheimii. Erirhinus Mann. Gemminger, Col. Hefte, viii, 

 133; Erirhinus vestitus \\ Mann., Bull. Mosc. 1853, ii, 343. 



Alaska, one specimen. Prof. Maklin; British Columbia. Quite distinct 

 from the other species in our fauna by the uniform coarse gray pubescence, 

 and the punctured beak; the prothorax is a little wider than long, suddenly 

 narrowed, rounded and feebly constricted near the tip. Length 3.5 mm: 

 .10 inch. 



10. D. hirtus, n. sp. 



Brownish yellow, or fulvous, clothed with coarse yellow hair, which is 

 mixed with longer hairs on the elytra. Beak as long as the head and pro- 

 thorax, finelj^ punctured, feebly striate near the base, marked between the 

 antennai with an elongate fovea. Prothorax transverse, one-half wider than 

 long, rounded on the sides, suddenly narrowed, rounded and constricted 

 near the tip ; disc strongly not very densely punctured, obsoletely chan- 

 neled. Elytra wider than the prothorax, oblong elongate, humeri rounded; 

 strife composed of approximate square punctures, interspaces flat, sparsely 

 punctulate and rugose. Thighs armed with a small tooth. Length 3.5 mm; 

 .14 inch. 



One specimen, San Diego, Cal.
