REVISION OF THE GENUS PHLOEOSINUS—BLACKMAN 469° 
PHLOEOSINUS FURNISSI, new species 
PLATE 41, FicurEs 27, 28 
Male—Black, with elytra piceous brown at base, shading to reddish 
on declivity ; 2.28 to 3.34 mm. long, holotype 2.68 mm. long, about 2.14 
times as long as wide. 
Frons (pl. 41, fig. 28) very wide between eyes, frontal rectangle 
about 0.63 as long as wide; epistomal lobe rather short; surface black, 
moderately shining, finely and densely granulate-punctate at sides, 
finely, closely punctate above; central area deeply concave, with con- 
cavity subtriangular, broad below, narrower above and extending to 
level of upper border of eyes, shining and impunctate in center, median 
carina short and obscure on lower fourth, with a small, rather obscure 
callus at each side on ventrolateral rim of concavity ; hairs at sides and 
above concavity fine, moderately short, inconspicuous. Hye more than 
three times as long as wide, more than half divided by an emargina- 
tion. Antenna with club about 2.18 times as long as wide, first and 
second sutures distinctly oblique, third suture very strongly oblique, 
sinuate. 
Pronotum about 1.14 times as wide as long, widest on posterior half; 
hind angles rounded, sides nearly straight, weakly arcuate on posterior 
half, then arcuately narrowed to the constriction just behind the 
broadly rounded anterior margin; surface shining, black, transversely 
impressed anteriorly ; disk very deeply, closely, moderately finely punc- 
tured, not granulate, finer and closer in front, sides slightly roughened 
but not granulate; median line not elevated, not usually impressed at. 
each side behind, marked by finer, closer punctures; lateral calli absent 
or only feebly developed ; pubescence fine, rather short, visible, but not 
conspicuous, somewhat longer just anterior to position of lateral calli. 
Elytra slightly wider than prenotum, about 1.35 times as long as 
wide; sides nearly straight and subparallel on anterior two-thirds, 
broadly rounded behind; surface shining, shading from piceous brown 
near base to reddish brown on declivity; striae, except the first one, 
which is wider, less than half as wide as interspaces, deeply impressed, 
strial punctures shallow, rather small, moderately close on disk, 
somewhat larger and more distinct on sides, with striae shallower; 
interspaces convex, granulate-punctate, with granules becoming uni- 
seriate on posterior disk, with hairs moderately short and fine and 
moderately conspicuous. Declivity with first and third interspaces 
strongly convex, the first closely, finely punctured, with a row of coarse, 
closely placed, black, recurved serrations; third interspace more 
strongly convex, with slightly smaller, very closely placed serrations, 
often somewhat irregular owing to crowding, and occasionally so 
crowded as to form a partially double row; fifth, seventh, and ninth
