REVISION OF THE GENUS PHLOEOSINUS—BLACKMAN 461 
Frons wide between eyes, frontal rectangle about 0.65 as long as 
wide, epistomal lobe very short, nearly lacking; surface black, feebly 
shining, moderately coarsely granulate-punctate; shallowly, rather 
broadly, arcuately impressed between eyes (subconcave in type), with 
a distinct, elevated median carina on lower half; hairs moderately 
fine and short. Eye nearly three times as long as wide, more than 
half divided by a rather narrow emargination. Antenna with club 
more than twice as long as wide, sutures all rather strongly oblique. 
Pronotum about 1.17 times as wide as long, widest near posterior 
angles; sides distinctly arcuate and slightly convergent on posterior 
half, then more sharply narrowed, constricted just behind the moder- 
ately broadly rounded front margin, impressed across dorsum; sur- 
face black, shining, with deep, close punctures, moderately large 
(shghtly coarser than in juniperi), finer and closer in front, more 
shallow and sub-granulate at sides; median line slightly elevated, 
usually impunctate behind, extending from base to transverse im- 
pression, widest in middle third; lateral calli moderately large; hairs 
longer, coarser, and more conspicuous than in jwniperi, longer at sides. 
Elytra wider than pronotum, about 1.30 times as long as wide, 
widest just in front of middle; sides subparallel, feebly arcuate on 
anterior two-thirds, broadly rounded behind; surface piceous brown, 
shining; striae narrow (distinctly narrower than in juniper2), strong- 
ly impressed, with punctures small and moderately spaced; inter- 
spaces several times as wide as striae, rather weakly convex, densely, 
confusedly granulate-punctate, with granules showing little tendency 
to uniseriate arrangement in anterior three-fourths of disk; hairs 
moderately fine and short (longer and more conspicuous than in 
juniperi). Declivity (pl. 41, fig. 26) with first interspace elevated, 
with large black serrations, some obsolete, mesal part of interspace 
finely, closely, roughly punctured; second interspace as wide as others, 
flat, devoid of serrations, finely, roughly punctured; third interspace 
elevated, with coarse, black serrations and with fine punctures each 
side of row of serrations; with a few smaller serrations on the more 
lateral interspaces; all declivital interspaces with numerous, moder- 
ately short, rather stout, yellow hairs (much more abundant, longer, 
and stouter than in juniperi). Anterior face of mesosternom 
oblique. 
Female.—Similar to male in habitus; frons very wide between 
eyes, frontal rectangle about 0.60 as long as wide, convex, densely 
granulate-punctate, with rather faint arcuate transverse impression, 
median carina moderately developed on lower half; elytral declivity 
with first and third interspaces elevated, bearing smaller serrations 
than in male, second interspace flat, closely punctured, devoid of ser-
