134 CUKCULIONID^. 



[LeOonte. 



wider than the prothorax ; the humeri are rounded, and the base slightly 

 emarginate; striie strongly punctured, interspaces slightly convex. Length 

 6 mm.; .23 inch. 



15. L. latiusculus (Boh.), Sch. Cure. vi. 2d. 199. 



I refer this name to a species which occurs in the Middle and Southern 

 States, and is by no means rare. The form is less elongate than in L. 

 appendiculatus, and the prothorax is a little wider than long, slightly nar- 

 rowed in front, and feebly rounded on the sides; the punctures, on remo- 

 val of the scales, are large, deep and densely placed; the scales are of the 

 usual dirt color, not conspicuously varied in color, though the prothorax is 

 indistinctly trivittate, and larger upon the prothorax than upon the elytra. 

 Elytra about one-third wider than the prothorax, slightlj^ emarginate at 

 base, humeri appearing rounded when viewed from above, but oblique when 

 viewed from the front; strisB strongly punctured, interspaces slightly con- 

 vex; setse short, tip conjointly rounded in both sexes. The last ventral 

 segment is not impressed in 9- Lengths — 6 mm.; .20 — .24 inch. 



16. L. cribricollis, n. sp. 



This species agrees in form, color and sculpture with the preceding, ex- 

 cept that the prothorax is very distinctly wider than loug, and more strongly 

 rounded on the sides; it is distinctly constricted near the tip, so that look- 

 ing from above, the postocular lobes appear more prominent. The humeral 

 angles of the elj'tra are more distinctly oblique. Length 6.7 mm. ; .27 

 inch. 



9 . Last ventral with a large round impression, the bottom of which is 

 shining and nearly smooth. 



One 9. Georgia. In this as in the preceding species, the beak is but 

 faintl}' sulcate, and the middle carina is slightly marked; the frontal fovea 

 is small, and feebly impressed. 



17. L. impressifrons, n. sp. 



This species entirely resembles L. latiusculus, in form and sculpture, 

 but the beak is stouter, more distinctly carinate and sulcate, and the frontal 

 fovea is large and deep. The last ventral is not impressed in 9 • Length 

 5.8 mm.; .23 inch. 



Two specimens, Georgia and Louisiana. The prothorax is very deeply 

 and coarselj^ punctured, and the sides are broadly rounded. 



18. L. setosus, n. sp. 



Blackish, covered with a dense crust of dirty gray and brownish round 

 scales, larger upon the prothorax, and not becoming hair-like upon the 

 head. Beak moderately tricarinate and quadrisulcate. Prothorax distinctly 

 wider than long, sides suddenly rounded near the base and apex. Scutel- 

 lum pale. Elytra not much wider than the prothorax, slightly emarginate 

 at base; humeri rounded, striae punctured, interspaces slightly convex, with 

 rows of clavate bristles longer and more evident than the setae of the other 

 species; tip conjointly rounded in both sexes. 



^. Last ventral slightly impressed at the tip. 



9 . Last ventral deeply impressed at the tip.
