6 SMITHSONIAN MISCELLANEOUS COLLECTIONS VOL. 94 



mucronate, ventral edge denticulate, at least on front pair ; third tarsal 

 segment bilobed. 



Type of subgenus. — Panscopus uiaculosus Blatchley (The Rhyn- 

 chophora or Weevils of Northeastern America, p. 105, fig. 45, 1916). 



1. Length, 5.75-7.75 mm (most specimens between 6 and 7 mm) ; general color 



paler brown, the head and rostrum clothed with cinereous scales and setae ; 

 pronotal tubercles normally obscured by scales ; antennal scape clothed with 

 fine setae that do not conceal derm; sutural interval somewhat elevated, 

 especially from middle to part way down declivity and here with a double 

 row of setae ; pale stripes often present on sutural and base of fifth elytral 

 intervals and on middle and sides of pronotum. [Ohio, Kentucky, Illinois, 

 Iowa (Nat. Mus.), Missouri (Casey collection), Indiana, New York 

 (Blatchley) ; type locality, Posey County, Ind., as subsequently designated 



by Blatchley (Blatchleyana, p. 39, 1930)] macnlosns Blatchley. 



Length 6 mm or less ; color darker brown ; pronotal tubercles individually 

 distinct ; antennal scape clothed with brown, inclined setae and prostrate 

 scales, the latter more or less completely covering derm apically, the scape 

 reaching middle of eye ; sutural interval at most just perceptibly elevated 

 near top of declivity and here with a few extra setae, elsewhere with a 

 single row ; pale markings indistinct 2. 



2. Prothorax at middle considerably wider than at base, the sides rather strongly 



rounded ; groovelike intervals between the pronotal tubercles more or less 



scaly (Ontario) ovatipennls, n. sp. 



Prothorax faintly expanded at middle, the sides very broadly rounded; in- 

 tervals between pronotal tubercles almost devoid of scales (Pennsylvania) 



ovatipennls verrucosus, n. subsp. 



PANSCOPUS (PARAPANSCOPUS) OVATIPENNIS, n. sp. 



Length, 6 mm ; width, 2.8 mm. Derm piceous black to rufopiceous, 

 antennae and tarsi reddish, body setose and densely scaly, prevailing 

 color of scales brow^n with dull, aeneous luster, lighter and in part 

 greenish on pronotum, vertex of head, and apex of rostrum, a vague 

 lateral stripe along prothorax behind the eyes and along elytral suture 

 on declivity paler ; dorsal setae brown and conspicuous ; pronotum 

 with small, closely set tubercles, most of those on disk isolated 

 individually. 



Rostrum stout, twice as long as thick at middle, feebly arcuate, a 

 little shorter than prothorax, above with sparse, erect setae, which 

 form on each side two irregular, longitudinal rows, one lateral and 

 one each side of median carina, the two rows uniting at side margin 

 above antennal socket and forming a single row thence to apex, sur- 

 face transversely convex and densely scaly in basal three-fourths, 

 flat and sparsely scaly apically, median carina distinct, though obtuse, 

 in middle half, ending anteriorly at the interantennal fovea, the nasal 

 plate feeble and merging into the adjacent rather closely punctate
