thoraeic angles, which prevent it from being associated with either 
of the twoipreceding (1) ; the thoracie bals do not diverge at all, 
in which respect with differs from the next, but may, eee 
be the male of it. The thorax is as densely punetured 2 as in À. me- 
lanophthalmus. 
2. A. pLanarus. Piceus, fulvo-pubescens, thorace latitudine lon- 
giore, lateribus antice late rotundatis, confertim punctato, angulis 
posticis paulo productis, non divergentibus, apice rotundatis, elytris 
strüs profundis, antice paulo punctatis, interstitiis omnino planis 
parce punctulatis, subtus rufo-piceus, pedibus pallidioribus, anten- 
nis articulo ultimo non constricto. — Long. 6”.

One specimen, New Jersey, M. Guex. This species precisely 
resembles in form À. consentaneus , and only ditfers by the angles 
of the thorax being still more rounded, and the striæ of the élytra 
being less punetured, with entirely flat interstices ; the 8 joint of 
the antennæ does not appear constricied. 
3. À. CAVIFRONS. Ru/fo-testaceus, paulo pubescens, thorace latitu- 
dine longiore, lateribus parallelis, antice vix rotundatis, confertim 
punctaio, angulis posticis modice productis, acutis, elytris striis 
punctatis, interstètiis paulo convexis parce subtiliter puncialis, an- 
tennis articulo ultimo constriclo. — Long. 5”.

Pennsylvania and Georgia. The thorax of the female is a little 
more convex than that of the male, and the sides converge a little in 
front. The clypeus is not more concave than in the other species of 
this division , from all of which it is easily distinguished by its smal- 
ler size and less densely pubescent body, as well as by its brighter 
coiour. 
Ces trois espèces appartiennent à la seconde section ; les deux 
suivantes (décrites tout récemment) rentrent dans la première.
