REVISION OF THE GENUS PHLOEOSINUS—BLACKMAN 463 
rounded behind; surface piceous brown, shining; striae narrow and 
strongly impressed (narrower than in neomexicanus), punctures very 
small, rather close, indistinctly seen; interspaces very wide (wider 
than in neomexicanus), moderately convex, confusedly granulate- 
punctate on disk, lateral interspaces with granules greatly reduced 
except on anterior third; hairs moderately numerous, rather fine and 
short. Declivity with first interspace moderately convex’ (less so 
than in neomewicanus), with moderately large, black serrations, some 
of them obsolete, finely, roughly punctured; second interspace wide, 
nearly flat, with serrations entirely lacking, finely, roughly punctured ; 
third interspace elevated, with a rather sparse row of moderately 
large serrations; fifth, seventh, and ninth interspaces each with a 
few small serrations; entire declivity clothed with numerous short 
hairs (more numerous and not so stout as in neomewicanus). An- 
terior face of mesosternum oblique. 
Female.—Similar to male in habitus, frons very wide between eyes, 
frontal rectangle about 0.58 as long as wide, convex, granulate-punc- 
tate below and at sides, punctured above, transverse impression faint, 
median carina very feebly developed on lower half; elytral declivity 
with first and third interspaces moderately elevated, finely punctured, 
serrations small and rather sparse; second interspace as wide as 
others, fiat, finely, moderately closely punctured, entirely devoid of 
serrations; declivity clothed with numerous short, scalelike hairs, and 
a few fine, erect hairs.
