Nesaecrepida rufomarginata, new species 



Figure 17 



Between 2 and 3 mm. in length, oblong oval, shining, prothorax 

 large, with basal sulcus not distinctly limited at ends; elytra very 

 densely, feebly, and finely striate punctate; anterior coxal cavities 

 closed, pale yellow brown, with suture narrowly reddish brown. 



Head with interocular space approximately half width of head, 

 a large fovea near eye with finer punctures about it, a deep groove 

 extending down from fovea over frontal tubercles, which are sHghtly 

 swollen, frontal carina pronounced, pale yellow brown with mouth 

 parts deeper in color. Antennae extending approximately to middle

 somewhat shorter than second or fourth, fourth and fifth subequal, 

 remainder slightly wider, longer, and deeper brown in color. Pro-
