PHLOEOSINUS SPLENDENS, new species 
PLATE 38, F1GuRE 7 
Male.—Black, with elytra reddish brown to piceous brown; bright- 
ly shining; 2.37 to 2.8 mm. long, holotype 2.51 mm. long, about 2.02 
times as long as wide; closely allied to fulgens. 
Frons moderately wide between eyes, frontal rectangle about 0.75 
as long as wide, epistomal lobe very short; surface brightly shining, 
rather closely, deeply punctured, granulate-punctate only at sides 
(cf. fulgens), moderately broadly and deeply concave, median carina 
nearly obsolete; hairs short and fine. Eye not quite three times as 
long as wide, about half divided by a wide U-shaped emargination. 
Antenna with club exactly twice as long as wide, all sutures oblique. 
Pronotum about 1.06 times as wide as long, widest at posterior 
angles; sides nearly straight (feebly arcuate) and very feebly con- 
verging on posterior half, then more strongly, arcuately narrowed, 
constricted just back of broadly rounded anterior margin, with dor- 
sum transversely impressed ; surface brilliantly shining, with moder- 
ately coarse, deep, closely placed punctures (coarser and less closely 
placed than in fulgens, with larger interstices which are much more 
brightly polished), punctures much finer and closer near anterior 
margin, dense and granulate at sides; median line distinct in middle 
third; lateral calli nearly lacking; hairs minute. 
Elytra wider than pronotum, about 1.30 times as long as wide, 
slightly widest back of middle; sides subparallel on anterior two- 
thirds, broadly rounded behind; surface brightly shining, discal 
striae deep, of moderate width (wider than in fulgens), punctures 
rather coarse, moderately spaced, rather shallow, distinct (coarser 
and less shallow than in fudgens), striae on sides wider, nearly equal 
in width to sixth interspace, punctures slightly larger; interspaces 
on disk wider than striae, weakly convex, densely, confusedly, mod- 
erately coarsely granulate-punctate on anterior disk, granules becom- 
ing brightly polished and lower at top of declivity, with only a few 
very fine granules on the odd-numbered interspaces and none on the 
even-numbered ones; surface appearing glabrous but with a few mi- 
nute hairs to be seen only in profile. Declivity (pl. 38, fig. 7) bril-
