Carolina. 



By A. H. Manes, Southern Fines, North Carolina 



The following tpedes of beetles were declared to be new 

 by the late Frederick Blanchard after whom I have named 

 the first Types have been pbced in the collection of the 

 Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia. 



ld«aophonM blanchardi n. t|». 



Color dark brown with wings tlightly metallic Karccly Hshter 

 bcncadi, antonae Ught. paler towardf base 



Head moderate with two kmf and foor shorter bristlct in front; 

 eye* prominent with long bristle at base; an tenn a e not rcaduag to 

 base of thorax, a bristle at front of firH scgoMat 



Thorax as wide in front as at base, sides froos roanded fawtal 

 comer roonding almost evcnljr to very near basic angle, edge with 

 bristle at anterior two-fifths, mcdiaa stria afanost or q^aiu ohioklc. 

 without ponctures. basic depressions almost or quite obsolete bat 

 •lightly rnfosc. edge depressed qtitte erenly except mora widdjr near 

 base. 



Elytra from roanded ikoaldcrs very gradually widening to ndddfe. 

 thence roanding in and at apical sixth more abruptly with margiaal 

 depression at apical cigbdi, striM distinct bat shaUow with intcnrab 

 smooth and Hat. second inner stria with four punctures at regular 

 intervals of .5 mm. and with a fifth p a n c t i w t only as ("<"• from the 

 fourth. 



Legs i all tibiae stroi«ly bristled. Mad tibia hM«cr than tafi a s , ftrsi 

 segment of hind tarsus as loog as the rfiindir. 



Length 5 mnin width aj mm., length of elytra 3 mm. 



From four specimens taken by the author at Southern 

 Pines. North Carolina, about mid-April of 191a, 1913 and 

 1914. 



Brchomns poUlaa a. sp. 



Cok>r pictous. The microscopic uni-pilose punctures so widely 

 separated by such smooth spaces as to allow the appearance of a pol- 

 ished surface, even the m i croscopically crinkled head also shining, 

 midwings. edges, legs, antennae and month paru lighter. 



Head not large, eyes wMi ndnute faoels in relief; antennae very 

 pilose, segments 3 to 10 gradaaQy inrwasing. the eleventh diminishing 

 to tip and as kmg is 9 and 10 cn m hiii e i l , extending to basic third of 

 thorax.
