DESCRIPTIONS OF NEW SPECIES. 10S 



extending to the apex are stronger, and the apical emargination 

 is deeper. 



In E. canaliculatus the thorax is obviously wider than its 

 length, and more strongly narrowed in front ; the elytra are less 

 shining, more densely punctulate and rugose, with the pubescence 

 very short, coarser and more silvery, giving an almost leaden 

 lustre. 



375. E. pllimbeilS. Plumbeo-aeueus, fere opacus, breviter cinereo- 

 pubescens, capite coufertim punctato, thorace latitudine fere sesqui 

 breviore, antrorsum angustato, lateribus rotundatis, angulis anticis sub- 

 acutis haud prolongatis, confertim subtiliter punctato ; elytris confertim 

 punctulatis et rugosis, vix obsolete striatis. Long. -40. 



One specimen ; Kansas. Resembles a female of E. canalicu- 

 latus, but the thorax is more convex, and the anterior angles are 

 not prolonged, and scarcely acute. 



376. E. tomentosus. Ovalis convexus, utrinque attenuates, obscure 

 aeneus, pube cinerea minus subtili irregulariter vestitus, capite thoraceque 

 fortiter punctatis, hoc latitudine paulo breviore, ante medium angustato, 

 lateribus rotundatis, angulis anticis acutis ; elytris punctis striatim 

 digestis, interstitiis parce punctatis. Long. -40. 



Georgia and Florida. Easily distinguished by the coarse 

 cinereous pubescens being irregularly distributed so as to form 

 rows of small spots on the elytra. The strias are not impressed, 

 but are composed of punctures, and are not very obvious, owing 

 to the punctures of the interstitial spaces being nearly as large 

 as those of the rows.
