densely, not coarsely punctured; prosternum nit her flat, less deeply im- 

 pressed in front than usual, very slightly emarginate behind; hind mar/in 

 not cmarginate; front coxae moderately widely separate; mctathoracic 

 side pieces rather narrow; fifth ventral segment as long as the two preced- 

 ing; second joint of funicle longer than the third. Length 4.0-"). 2 mm.; 

 .18-21 inch. 



tf. First ventral segment flattened and slightly concave at the middle; 

 prosternum without spines. 



9- Ventral surface convex, not impressed; form a little stouter; beak 

 more slender, less deeply sculptured. 



Georgia and Florida; two specimens. The description is drawn from 

 the (j\ which is the larger specimen. 



19. C. rectirostris, n. sp. 



More elongate, black, nearly glabrous, shining. Beak longer than the 

 head and prothorax, nearly straight, slender, sparsely punc.ured, with a 

 small basal indentation ; head convex, feebly punctulate. Prothorax 

 scarcely longer than wide, slightly narrowed from the base forwards, then 

 more narrowed and rounded, broadly constricted near the tip ; surface 

 strongly punctured, dorsal line narrow, distinct, Elytra a little wider than 

 the prothorax, sides parallel behind the humeri, then rounded; tips sepa- 

 rately rounded, exposing a small part of the pygidium; stride deep, narrow, 

 interspaces wide, finely rugosely punctured. Beneath slightly pubescent, 

 not coarsely punctured; more sparsely on the first and second ventral seg- 

 ments. Prosternum transversely impressed in front, not emarginate be- 

 hind; front cox moderately widely distant; metathoracic side-pieces not 

 very narrow; fifth ventral segment as long as the two preceding united. 

 Funicle of antenme slender, second joint nearly as long as the first. 

 Length 4.8 mm.; .19 inch. 



South Carolina and Illinois; three specimens. I have adopted the name 

 given to it by Dr. Zimmermann. The beak of the ^ is more strongly

 long as the head and prothorax, more curved at the base, not very slender, 

 strongly punctured (J 1 ); sparsely punctured ( 9 ); head punctured, front 

 with a small fovea, not transversely impressed. Prothorax wider than 

 long, slightly narrowed from the base, rounded and feebly constricted 

 towards the tip; densely and strongly punctured; dorsal line narrow, dis- 

 tinctly elevated; hairs transversely arranged, base nearly straight. Elytra 

 slightly separately rounded at tip, apex of pygidium exposed; strife deep, 

 interspaces wide, densely and confusedly punctured, hairs not arranged in 

 rows. Beneath densely punctured, prosternum transversely iin;r .->< ! a^
