Coleoptera 21 E 



No. 167, Langton bay (Franklin bay), Northwest Territories, summer 

 1911, V. Stefansson, collector, is another aberrant specimen, partly denuded, 

 with brownish hairs. 



No. 747, Bernard harbour, Northwest Territories, July 17, 1915, F. Johanscn, 

 collector, is another still more difficult specimen to place, for it is almost entirely 

 denuded and looks therefore quite different. It is however, the same species 

 as those described above and exhibits actual sculpture of the surface, which is 

 scabrous throughout except that on the front part of the thorax it becomes 

 evidently distinctly punctate. 



The tribe Alphini, to which the species described above belongs is repre- 

 sented by numerous species in Siberia. I have tried to identify this species 

 with one of them without success; and as most of the described species occur 

 in the region of Lake Baikal, while it is in northeastern Siberia that the fauna 

 more nearly resembles that of America, it seems probable that it has heretofore 

 escaped discovery, though evidently abundant in the Canadian Arctic Region. 



Genus Sitona Germ. 

 Sitona discoidea Gyllenhal (?). - 



Bernard harbour, Northwest Territories, July 6, 7, 1915; F. Johansen, 

 collector, No. 1248. 



The condition of the single specimen of this species makes an exact identifi- 

 cation impossible.
