204 CUECULIONID^. 



[LeConte. 



28. A. pauperculus, n. sp. 



Also of the same form as A. inermis and densely covered with broad scales 

 of dirty white, mixed with pale brown; other characters as in that species, 

 except that the front thighs are armed beneath with a distinct, though not 

 very prominent tooth. Length 2 mm. ; .08 inch. 



San Diego, Gala.; five specimens. 



29. A. disjunctus. n. sp. 



Subovate, brown, covered beneath with pale, above with brown scales; 

 beak long, punctured and striate, head feebly punctured, frontal fovea 

 elongate. Prothorax wider than long, gradually narrowed in front from 

 the base, slightly rounded on the sides, deeply and densely punctured, with 

 three dorsal vittse of pale scales. Elytra at base not wider than the pro- 

 thorax, gradually wider and slightly rounded on the sides, strise punctured, 

 interspaces slightly convex, fourth for the middle, third and sixth from 

 base to middle covered with pale scales. Antennaj testaceous at base, 

 second joint of funiculus as long as the two following. Thighs clavate, 

 armed with a small tooth, which seems to be wanting on the hind pair. 

 Length 3.2 mm. ; .125. 



Georgia and Illinois; two specimens. The outer interspaces of the elytra 

 behind the middle, and the scutellum are also covered with pale scales. 

 The teeth of the tarsal claws are more approximate than in any of the pre- 

 ceding species, and seem to be almost connate. 



30. A. ruflpes, n. sp. 



Subovate piceous, less densely clothed with white scales, beak long, 

 punctured and striate, head punctured, frontal fovea small. Prothorax as 

 in the preceding. Elytra not wider at base than the prothorax, gradually 

 wider and slightly rounded on the sides; striae strongly punctured, inter- 

 spaces flat, antenni3e and legs ferruginous, second joint of funiculus hardly 

 longer than the third, thighs clavate, armed with an acute tooth, which is 

 smaller on the hind pair but quite distinct. Length 2.6 mm.; .10 inch. 



New York, one specimen. 



31. A. elongatus, n. sp. 



Elongate, dark brown, partly clothed with small gray scales, forming an 

 indistinct pattern on the elytra. Beak longer than the head and prothorax, 

 slender, cyliiKlrical, curved, densely punctured, and finely carinate; head 

 punctured, vertex channeled, front scarcely as wide as usual. Prothorax 

 strongly and densely punctured, wider than long, nearly truncate at base, 

 gradually narrowed from the base and slightly rounded on the sides; white 

 scales more dense each side at the base, forming an ill-defined spot. Elytra 

 a little wider than the base of the prothorax, elongate, oval; striaj fine, 

 punctured; interspaces not convex, finely alutaceous. Thighs feebly cla- 

 vate, not toothed; front and middle tibise slightly sinuate; claws cleft as 

 usual. Antennae testaceous, club dusky; first joint of funicle as long as 

 the second and third united. Length 2.3 mm. ; .09 inch. 



Georgia; two specimens. Resembles in form certain species of Smicro-
