punctulatis, margine basali rufescente ; subtus piceo-rufus, antennis pedi- 

 busque pallidioribus. Long. -36. 



Canada ; rare. A very fine and distinct species. 



3OS. C. planatus. Elongatus depressus, nigro-seneus opacus, sub- 

 tiliter pubescens, capite rude punctato, frontis margine medio vix ele- 

 vato, thorace latitudiue longiore lateribus late rotundatis, angulis posticis 

 acutis divaricatis carinatis, stria utrinque basali notato, confertissime 

 aciculato, elytris striis impunctatis, interstitiis haud dense punctatis et

New York ; Mr. Kestlin. I am doubtful whether to refer this 

 species to Cryptohypnus or Corymbites. The prosternum is not 

 much wider than in certain species of the former genus, and the 

 lateral sutures are but slightly curved ; the frontal margin is 

 almost obsolete at the middle. The plates of the middle coxse 

 are, however, rather suddenly dilated inwards. 



OTOXOCREPIDIVS ESCH. 



309. M. atlioides. Valde elongatus, nigro-fuscus, fusco-pubescens, 

 capite thoraceque coiifertim punctatis, hoc latitudine fere sesqui longiore 

 antrorsum paulo angustato, lateribus fere rectis, angulis postieis elonga- 

 tis divaricatis, elytris striis punctatis, interstitiis dense rugose punctu- 

 latis, antennis pedibusque testaceo-fuscis, illis articulo 3io 2ndo paulo 

 longiore, sed 4to breviore. Long. '40. 



Texas. The lobe of the 4th tarsal joint is narrow. This 

 insect is remarkable for its strong resemblance in appearance to 

 Athous. 



LIMONIUS ESCH. 



310. L,. ornatipennis. Niger subnitidus, confertim fere aequaliter 

 punctatus, subtiliter pubescens, thorace latitudine paulo longiore con- 

 vexo, lateribus fere parallelis vix late rotundatis, angulis anticis rufis 

 prominulis, posticis haud carinatis rufo-testaceis, elytris striis punctatis, 

 sutura pone medium, limbo externo vittaque ab humero usque ad do- 

 drantem extensa et ibi dilatata obscure rufo-testaceis, pedibus rufo-tes- 

 taceis ; antennarum articulis 2 et 3 aequalibus 4to conjunctis longioribus.

York, Pennsylvania ; rare ; Revd. D. Ziegler. The prosternal 

 sutures are not excavated. In one specimen the elytra vitta is 

 interrupted anterior to the dilated part, which extends to the
