REVISION OF THE GENUS PHLOEOSINUS—BLACKMAN 429 
liantly shining, striae deeply impressed with punctures distinct as 
on disk; interspaces 1 and 3 strongly convex, each with a few, sparse, 
fine, obsolescent granules not arranged uniseriately, and a few very 
fine, indistinct punctures; second interspace nearly as wide as others, 
less strongly convex, devoid of granules and with very few, minute 
punctures; vestiture consisting of minute, sparse hairs. Anterior 
face of mesosternum slightly oblique, 
Female.—Similar to male, but with frons wider, frontal rectangle 
about 0.70 as long as wide, with well-developed arcuate, transverse 
impression, median carina fine, elevated on lower half; elytral de- 
clivity similar to that of male but with hairs shghtly larger and more 
numerous, but still very small and inconspicuous, 
This species is very closely allied to fulgens but readily distin- 
guished by the pronotal and elytral characters brought out in the 
descriptions, as well as by the difference in coloration. 
Type locality —Pinehurst, Oreg. 
Host.—Libocedrus decurrens Torr. 
Type material—Holotype, allotype, and 12 paratypes, U.S.N.M. No. 
55402. 
Remarks —The holotype, allotype, and 12 paratypes were taken 
at Pinehurst, Oreg., by W. J. Buckhorn from the tops of Libocedrus 
decurrens, which they were attacking and killing.

Male.—Black, shining, with elytra reddish brown; 2.14 to 3.2 mm. 
long, about 2.07 times as long as wide. 
Frons rather wide between eyes, frontal rectangle about 0.71 as 
long as wide; epistomal lobe short; surface black, shining, rather 
finely, densely granulate-punctate at sides and above; central area 
deeply, not very broadly concave, with central portion smooth, im- 
punctate, and brightly shining, with a moderately developed, elevated 
median carina on lower fourth; hairs at sides and above, short, fine, 
inconspicuous except in profile. Eye nearly exactly three times as 
long as wide, about half divided by a U-shaped emargination. An- 
tenna with club nearly twice as long as wide, sutures all strongly 
oblique, sinuate.
