L. ulkei, sp. nov. 
Form robust, ovate, rufocastaneous, shining. Clypeus slightly emarginate, the 
border moderately reflexed, surface rather closely punctate. Thorax widest at base, 
arcuatedly narrowed to the apex, margin indistinctly crenulated, with short cilize, 
surface distinctly but very irregularly and not very closely punctured, with a smooth 
median line. Elytra more deeply and densely, somewhat confluently punctured, the 
costz evident. Pygidium rather finely and sparsely punctate. Metasternum densely 
punctured, the hair long and dense. Abdomen shining, sparsely punctate. Claws 
curved, the tooth median, stronger in the female. Last joint of the maxillary palpi — 
ovate, not impressed. Length .85 inch = 21—22 mm,

Marr.—Antennal club as long as the stem. Abdomen flattened at 
middle, penultimate segment with a perfectly straight, feebly elevated 
ridge, behind which the segment is strongly depressed, making the de- 
clivity deep and abrupt without any great elevation of the surface of the 
ridge. The ridge is close to the margin of the segment, and in the Ten- 
nessee specimen almost coincident with it. Last ventral feebly concave. 
Inner spur of the hind tibia two-thirds the length of the outer and stouter. 
FEeMALE.—Antennal club small, much shorter than the funiculus. 
Last ventral segment feebly emarginate at apex. Pygidium more 
elongate than in the male, more shining, the punctures more deeply im- 
pressed. 
This species agrees in all essentials and group characters with fusca, 
and with that species it has been confounded. The four specimens be- 
fore me are very uniform in appearance, and chiefly differ habitally, in 
the paler color and the much more rugose appearance, the punctuation 
being coarser throughout. The lateral margin ef the thorax ‘is also very 
feebly crenulated, yet not so as to throw the species into another group. 
The ventral character of the male gives an obvious and safe distinguish- 
ing feature for that sex. In the female the somewhat broader, more 
oval form and the coarser punctuation must suffice if the genitalia be 
not examined. . 
L. quadrata, sp. nov. . 
Form oblong, parallel, rather deep brown, shining. Clypeus very feebly emarg- 
inate, moderately reflexed, surface coarsely and rather sparsely punctured, front 
more closely and more deeply punctured. Thorax widest at base, arcuately but not 
very greatly narrowed to the apex, margin entire, with short cilia, surface rather 
sparsely and irregularly punctate, without an obvious smooth median line. Elytra 
closely and confluently punctured, the punctures tending to form longitudinal series, 
costz obvious but not much elevated. Pygidium sparsely and finely punctate, the 
last two segments more coarsely. Claws curved, the tooth strong and median. Last 
joint of maxillary palpi ovate, not impressed. Length .87 inch = 22 mm.
