88 DESCRIPTIONS OP NEAV SPECIES. 



321. Hi l>revicollis. Elongata, testacea pubescens, thorace lati- 

 tudine triple breviore, apice late emarginato, basi bisinuato, angulis 

 anticis rotundatis, posticis acutis, minus dense medio obsoletius punc- 

 tato, elytris punctatis, punctis transversim confluentibus ; antennarum 

 articulis 2ndo Sioque parvis, 4to conjunctis paulo longiore. Long. -20. 



One specimen, from Oregon, in Mr. Ulke's collection. The 

 head is finely punctured ; the antennae are fuscous, except the 

 first three joints, which are testaceous ; the thorax is much 

 rounded on the sides, and is narrower than the elytra. The 

 specimen is mutilated, but I believe it to belong to this genus. 



EUCIIVETUS GERM. 



32*2. Eu. oviformis. Ovatus convexus, niger, pubescens, elytris 

 confertim punctatis, obsolete striatis, pone medium sensim angustatis, 

 capite rufescente, antennarum articulis 3 priruis ultimoque rufis ; para- 

 pleuris parce subtilius punctatis ; pedibus piceo-ferrugineis. Long. -18. 



Illinois. As large as Eu. infumatus Lee., but much stouter 

 and more convex. The side pieces of the prothorax, as in that 

 species, are nearly smooth, those of the trunk are finely, not 

 densely punctured. The obsolete striae of the elytra are quite 

 obvious in certain lights ; the body is gradually narrowed behind, 

 as in Eu. morio, which is a much smaller and narrower species. 



323. Eu. testaceus. Ovatus convexus, testaceus, pubescens, elytris 

 confertim punctatis, stria suturali postice impressa, pone medium rotun- 

 datim angustatis ; parapleuris parce fortius punctatis. Long. -13. 



Pennsylvania ; Mr. Ulke. Found also by me at Lake Superior. 

 Larger and broader than Eu. morio, and less attenuated behind. 

 The side pieces adjacent to the middle legs afford excellent cha- 

 racters for distinguishing the species ; in Eu. testaceus they are 

 tolerably strongly, but not densely punctured ; in Eu. morio they 

 are very finely and densely aciculate ; as finely but less densely 

 aciculate in Eu. terminalis. 



PUEOTOMIJS LEG. 



324. P. palleiis. Elongato-ellipticus, fusco-pallidus, opacus, sub- 

 tiliter pubescens, thorace semielliptico, latitudine paulo longiore, lateri- 

 bus late depressis, apice anguste reflexo-marginato, basi late emarginato, 

 subtiliter carinato, confertim punctato, plaga magna basali punctulata ; 

 elytris confertim punctatis, lineis tribus elevatis sat distinctis (apice 

 divaricatia ?). Long. -48 ; lat. -18.
