so above, rounded at tip; funicle of auteuiise stouter, more closely con- 

 nected with the club. 



Elytra with approximate, ill-defined rows of feeble 

 punctures; declivity flattened in (^ with a few 

 small acute granules; concave in 9 , with three 

 or four prominent tubercles on the obtusely 



elevated margin 15. planicollis.

Middle and Southern States. Received from Col. Motschulsky, under 

 the name Corthylus denticulatus.

 1817, No. 3; Tomictts pyri Harvis,, Inj. Ins. ed. ult. 91.

Middle and Southern States ; under oak bark. 



n. X. fuscatus Eichhoff, 1. c, 1867, 400 ; Zimm., 1. c. 1868, 145. 



Virginia to Texas : under oak bark. The nearly allied species men- 

 tioned by me as occurring under pine bark in Georgia seems not to differ 

 sjiecifically from X impreHSus mentioned below. 



(). X. biographus Lee, Tr. Am. Ent. Soc. 1868, 160. 



One specimen, Illinois.

Canada to Texas and California. In this and the four following species the 

 sensitive annulated surface of the club is larger than in the preceding species, 

 and the tibiae are more strongly serrate. The specimens from the Pacific 

 Coast do not differ sufficiently to warrant their being known as a distinct 

 species. 



11. X. impressus Eichhoff, Berl. Ent. Zeitschr. 1867, 400. 

 One specimen, Georgia ; under pine bark. 



12. X. sparsus Lee, Tr. Am. Ent. Soc. 1868, 160.
