lures coarser and sjjarser than those of prothorax. Beneath, 

 l)rosternuni well developed before the coxae and shar])ly 

 carinate between them. Anterior tibiae slightly thickened and 

 rounded at tip. . A circidar fovea at center of first ventral seg- 

 ment. Female lacks fovea and horns. Length 1-06 x 06 mm.

Xc.sfocis levettei, Casey 



Journal Nt'w York Ent. Soc, vol. vi, p. 8.5. I might add 

 to the descrii)tion above cited, that the ])unctures are dual, 

 consisting of larger circular ones, shallow and shining at bottom, 

 and smaller deep ones which bear minute hairs. The male has 

 a large fovea on first ventral segment, which is fringed with 

 long yellow hairs. The species \\as a verj'' wide distribution. 

 I have specimens from Canada to Florida, and Newfoundland 

 and New Ham])shire to Ohio and Indiana. At Cincinnati it 

 is very abundiint. 



Xestoci.s pale ace ns, Casey 



To description in paper above cited, page 86. I add that 

 the side margins of prothorax are wider behind (subexplanate), 

 and a strongly developed male has the epistoma produced into 

 two broad processes or horns, obtuse at tij). The prothorax 

 at ayjex is also produced into two broad recurved horns. At 

 l)osterior middle of first ventral segment is a large round 

 pubescent fovea, with a sharp, deep groove around it. Terminal 

 joint of maxillary ])alpi thick, oval and bluntly ])ointed. The 

 anterior tibiae are sharply angulato externally. I have examined 

 the type which seems to be a less strongly developed male. 

 The tyjjc is from Pennsylvania. It occurs also at Washington, 

 D. C, Virginia and Cincinnati, Ohio, but does not seem to be 

 anywhere common.
