NO. l6 GENUS PANSCOPUS SCHOENHERR BUCHANAN II 



Elytra with rows of well separated punctures, each covered by a sub- 

 circular scale, sides converging from behind humeri, more strongly 

 so in the attenuated male, costae feebler basally, strong apically, the 

 sutural one very prominent at top of declivity, second interval in both 

 sexes with a few setae near base and on declivity, fourth interval 

 same in J*, but in 5 with a widely spaced row from base to middle, 

 sixth in $ with a similar row its entire length, sixth in J^ with a few 

 basally and apically ; declivity subvertical in J*, slightly reflexed in $. 

 Legs densely scaly, tibiae subcylindrical in basal half, ventral edge in 

 apical half with a few erect denticulations, which are obsolescent on 

 hind legs ; in J* the posterior face of the hind tibia is more or less 

 flattened in the apical third and slightly hollowed near apex, the two 

 anterior tibiae with a similar but feebler modification, the anterior 

 pair slightly sinuate ; $ with posterior tibia modified as in J*, the two 

 anterior pairs nearly simple ; posterior femur in (^ longer and slenderer 

 than the other femora ; mucro on posterior tibia of J* stout, tapering 

 to apex, and with a short, erect spur at base. First sternite of <^ rather 

 deeply depressed, the concavity densely clothed with subprostrate 

 setae, rest of abdomen densely scaly and setose, the broad scales 

 confined to about lateral third of the first to fourth sternites and to 

 the latero-anterior part of the fifth, rest of surface with dense, in- 

 clined setae and a few prostrate scales ; abdomen of $ densely clothed 

 with scales and setae, the fifth sternite with finer vestiture, the first 

 sternite convex, the fifth sternite shorter and more narrowly rounded 

 at apex than in J*.

Type.—^, U.S.N.M. no. 50647. 



The male of this species is the narrowest of any Panscopus (sens, 

 lat.). Superficially convcrgcns resembles torpidus LeConte, but there 

 the scape and abdomen are setose but not scaly, the legs at most thinly 

 scaly, the body form stouter, the hind tibial mucro of male without 

 spur, and the abdomen of female 4-segmented. 



PANSCOPUS (DOLICHONOTUS) OREGONENSIS, n. sp. 



Length, J* 6.5 mm; width, 2.4 mm (5 unknown). Derm piceous 

 to rufopiceous, prothorax and rostrum blackish. Body setose and 

 densely scaly, general color of scales pale brown, becoming fuscous 

 toward apex of elytra, paler in a short vague humeral line and at sides 

 of pronotum. Elytral sides converging posteriorly from about basal 

 fourth, the general form somewhat less slender than in convergens.
