REVISION OF THE GENUS PHLOECSINUS—BLACKMAN 455 
Female.—Similar in general habitus; frons much wider between 
eyes, frontal rectangle about 0.65 as long as wide, rather coarsely 
eranulate-punctate, indefinitely, transversely impressed between eyes, 
with a fine median carina on lower half; elytra with striae wider than 
in male, interspaces more densely granulate, with posterior uniseriate 
asperities much smaller; declivity with all of interspaces nearly 
equally, finely serrate; first and third interspaces moderately strongly 
convex, second interspace less strongly convex; vestiture similar to 
that of male, but with scales slightly more numerous. 
Type locality—Jacala, Hidalgo, Mexico. 
Host.—Juniperus flaccida Schlechtendal. 
Type material —Holotype, allotype, and eight paratypes, U.S.N.M. 
No. 55411. 
Remarks.—The holotype, allotype, and eight paratypes were taken 
rom Juniperus flaccida Schlecht. at Jacala, Hildago, Mexico, by D. 
DeLeon, in whose honor the species is named.

W. J. CHAMBERLIN, Bark and timber beetles of North America, p. 172, 1939. 
Male—Piceous black, with elytra reddish brown; 3.0-3.6 mm. long, 
about 2.08 times as long as wide. 
Frons wide between the eyes, frontal rectangle about 0.68 as long 
as wide, epistomal lobe very short, nearly lacking; surface piceous, 
somewhat shining, strongly granulate-punctate (more coarsely than 
in dentatus), broadly, arcuately, transversely impressed (sometimes 
shallowly, subtriangularly concave) between eyes, with a variable 
median carina (often nearly entirely lacking), strongest midway of 
impression. Eye more than three times as long as wide, less than 
half divided by a wide emargination. Antenna with club nearly 
twice as long as wide, sutures all distinctly oblique. 
Pronotum about 1.17 times as wide as long, widest at posterior 
angles; sides regularly, arcuately convergent on posterior three- 
fourths, constricted just behind moderately broadly rounded front 
margin, and distinctly impressed across dorsum; surface piceous, 
shining, with very deep, moderately closely placed, moderately coarse 
punctures, finer and closer in front, subgranulate-punctate at sides; 
median line feebly to moderately elevated on posterior two-thirds, 
median third more strongly elevated and often impunctate; lateral 
ealli usually rather small but distinct; hair fine, short, inconspicu- 
ous.
