" Pronotum with sides nearly straight, and basal angles not rounded." 



" Pronotum with posterior area distinctly punctured; antennal club 

 with one faint recurved suture on anterior face and two faint recurved 

 sutures on posterior face." " Length, male type, 2-15 mm.; body oblong, 

 ellipitical, ferruginous; pronotal rugosities fine, densely placed, and changing 

 to rugose punctures to base; front flat, shining, distinctly and evenly 

 punctured, with a few long hairs toward the sides, and with faint median 

 line; declivity steep, subconvex, interspace 1 elevated, 2 and 3 flat, striae 

 with coarse punctures. Camp Caribou, Maine, in Picea sp., May 25, 

 1900; Austin Cary, collector; Hopk. U.S. No. 332c. Type, Cat. No. 7629, 

 U.S. National Museum." 



Female. "Front flattened, slightly more pubescent than in the male; 

 declivity more opaque and interspace 1 not so strongly elevated." 



This species is unknown to us. Since it occurs in Maine it will probably 

 be found in Eastern Canada. 



Host tree. Spruce. 



Distribution. Camp Caribou, Maine. 



The Genus Lymantor Lovendal. 

 Ent. Medd., vol. 2, p. 161, 1889. 



Lymantor decipiens Lee.; Am. Phil. Soc. Proc., 17: 624 (Xylocleptes) , 1878. 



Length, 1 8 mm. ; the front punctured, with a transverse postepistomal 

 impression; the pronotum longer than wide, feebly asperate in front, rather 

 coarsely and deeply punctured behind; the elytra coarsely and deeply, not 

 very closely punctured, not striate, the punctures rather irregular, the 

 rows hardly evident. There is sometimes a fairly distinct fifth segment 

 in the funicle. 



Host trees. Hicoria, Pyrus, Acer (literature). Taken by the writer 

 only in dead and dry maple limbs. The egg-tunnels and larval mines are 

 entirely in the outer wood, sometimes below the surface; both adults and 

 larvae find an important food in certain black wood fungi, which are always 

 abundant in the limbs they frequent. 



Distribution. Eastern Canada and Eastern United States.
