the short spur of the male it resembles zzfidelis while the distinct elytral 
costae, as well as the ventral characters of the male, make it abundantly 
distinct. 
I take pleasure in dedicating this strongly marked species to my 
good friend and mentor, Dr. Horn. 
L. biimpressa, sp. nov. 
Oblong, scarcely ovate, pale reddish-brown, shining. Clypeus moderately deeply 
emarginate, margin narrowly reflexed, densely and rather coarsely punctured, as is 
also the front. Thorax distinctly narrower in front, sides obtusely angulate, widest 
at middle, narrowed to base, more obliquely narrowed in front, margin irregular, 
scarcely crenate, sparsely ciliate, disc convex, the punctures coarse and rather closely 
placed, a distinct smooth median line, a distinct impression ot the basal margin ex- 
ternally, and a distinct foveate impression at each side, nearly opposite the angle. 
Elytral punctuation finer, more dense, somewhat rugulose ; sutural costa distinct, 
the others feeble. Metasternum closely punctate, with moderately long hair. 
Pygidium rather sparsely, finely and irregularly punctured. Claws arcuate, with a 
strong median tooth. Last joint of maxillary palpi fusiform, not impressed. Length, 
.76 inch = 18 mm. 
Hlabitat—Manhattan, Kansas. 
Mate.—Antennal club nearly as long as the stem. Abdomen 
flattened at middle, sparsely finely punctate at the sides, the last two 
segments more coarsely, Penultimate ventral segment with a rather 
feebly elevated, strongly arcuated ridge, behind which the segment is 
deeply impressed and-punctured; the last segment with a somewhat 
quadrate depression. 
Only a single male specimen is known to me. I have placed it in 
the rugosa group, and associated it with sczfula, though the specimen 
has very evidently but nine antennal joints on each side. Yet all the 
other characters of structure and habitus refer the species here, while it 
would be otherwise associated with entirely incongruous material. Under 
the circumstances I regard the g joints as accidental, and shall expect 
other specimens to show the typical ro jointed form. 
L. longispina, sp. nov. 
Oblong, nearly parallel, ferruginous brown, feebly shining, sparsely clothed with 
yellowish, erect hairs, longer and more dense on the thorax, shorter on the elytra, 
where they form distinct rows on the cost similar to those of Airticuda. Head 
densely and coarsely punctured, with moderately long hair, clypeus emarginate, the 
border moderately reflexed. Thorax widest at middle, slightly narrowed at base, 
more at apex, the margin feebly crenate, ciliate, basal margin channelled externally, 
surface with coarse punctures moderately closely placed, with long erect hairs. 
Elytral punctures much finer than those of the thorax, less impressed, denser and 
somewhat rugulose, the hair sparser and shorter than on the thorax, the discal costz 
not distinct, marked only by the rows of longer hair. Pygidium of male sparsely 
and not deeply punctate, not hairy. Metasternum densely punctured, the hairs
