Bruchomorpha nasuta STAL 

 (1862 Berl. Ent. Zeit, vi, p. 310) 



Very similar to the preceding species in the form of the frontal 

 process, although in oculata this process appears narrowed in the 

 middle, as well in profile as from above, while in nasuta the sides of 

 the head process are weakly curved outwards. Distinguished espec- 

 ially by the acutely-angled produced frons, the median keel or carina 

 beneath strongly pectinate-raised and deeply bent out, by means of 

 which the process is made more snout-like. The entire body is black, 

 shining with a metallic luster, except the median carina of the frons 

 which is rusty-brown. Legs bright yellowish, with indistinct dark 

 longitudinal streaks. Otherwise as in dorsata Fitch. 



Length of body 3 mm.; width 1.50 mm. 



This species is known only from Pennsylvania and 

 Wisconsin.
