206 CUECULIONID^. [LeConte. 



6-jointed, second joint not elongated, club fuscous, of the usual forni. 

 Legs rather stout, thighs not toothed; claws very feebly toothed at base. 

 Length 1.6 mm. ; .07 inch. 



One specimen, North Carolina; Dr. Zimmerman. The nearly simple 

 ungues distinguish this readily from all other species in our fauna, except 

 the next, and might lead, on superficial view to its being placed in the 

 ErMiine tribe, from which it essentially differs by the antennal club, and 

 by the ventral segments being nearly equal in length. 



36. A. ungularis, n. sp. 



Elongate, dark brown, thinly clothed with pubescence, and with a faint 

 appearance of a transverse denuded band behind the middle of the elytra. 

 Beak indistinctly punctured, obsoletely striate, head opaque, frontal fovea 

 small, distinct. Prothorax wider than long, rounded on the sides, nar- 

 rowed in front of the middle, densely punctured Elytra one-fourth wider 

 than the prothorax, oblong, striae coarsely punctured, interspaces nearly 

 smooth ; pubescence more dense on the scutellum, a small humeral spot, 

 and two very indistinct posterior narrow bands, which tend to unite at the 

 suture. Sides of meso- and metathorax densely pubescent. Antennae and 

 legs ferruginous, funiculus 6-jointed, second joint elongate ; thighs not 

 toothed, claws with a short acute basal tooth, slightly connected at base 

 Length 2.3 mm.; .09 inch. 



Southern States; Dr. Zimmermann. 



37. A. raixtus, n. sp. 



Elongate-ovate, yellow-brown; pubescence white, coarse, scattered, con- 

 densed on the elytra, into several indefinite bands; beak punctured and 

 strongly striate. Prothorax smaller than usual, wider than long, gradually 

 narrowed in front, slightly rounded on the sides, coarsely punctured. 

 Scutellum white -pubescent. Elytra at base but little wider than the pro- 

 thorax, gradually wider, elongate-ovate, brown, with the humeri and a 

 common sutural rounded spot behind the middle, yellow-brown; two nar- 

 row indistinct transverse bands of pubescence before the middle, and 

 others behind the middle; striae strongly punctured, interspaces slightly 

 convex, nearly smooth. Antennae with funiculus 6-jointed, Second and 

 third joints equal; thighs scarcely clavate, acutely toothed; claws diver- 

 gent, armed with a short basal tooth, which is rounded at tip. Length 2.3 

 -3 mm.; .09-. 12 inch. 



Illinois, "Walsh ; Texas, Belfrage. On account of the comparatively 

 smaller size of the prothorax, this insect has some resemblance in form to 

 Orchestes, but the eyes are of the usual size in the present genus, widely 

 separated, and the hind legs are not thicker. The elytra are not rouudec. 

 on the sides behind the humeri, though gradually wider as far as the 

 middle. 



38. A. decipiens, n. sp. 



Rather elongate, brown, densely clothed with large gray scales; protho- 

 rax indistinctly striped; elytra with a darker latei'al cloud behind the mid-
