rather finely granulate, anteriorly a finely impressed sub-apical line. 
Elytra with strize of moderately deep punctures, intervals slightly convex 
and sub-granulate. Body beneath, antenne and legs ferruginous. Length 
.10 inch; 2.5 mm. 
Occurs in the Middle States region and Georgia. 
S. sranulata Say, Journ. Acad. V, p. 266. 
Oblong, parallel, moderately convex, piceous, sub-opaque. Antenne 
with the third joint as long as the three following together. Thorax wider 
than long, sides very feebly arcuate, margin serrulate, base slightly nar- 
rower.than apex, disc coarsely granulate. Elytra coarsely granulate with 
feeble traces of strive between the rows of granulations. Legs ferruginous. 
Length .16 inch; 4 mm. 
This species besides being the largest and most coarsely 
granulate, has the third joint of the antennze very long while 
in all the other species it is but little longer than the follow- 
ing. 
This species is widely diffused, occurring from Missouri 
to Pennsylvania and Georgia. 
The vestiture of the surface in the first four species con- 
sists in recumbent pale, sparsely placed hairs on the head 
and thorax, the coste of the elytra and the intervals have 
short, erect, pale sete. In granulata there are no hairs on 
the head and thorax, while the elytra have short hairs 
sparsely placed which become somewhat longer on the de- 
clivity.

Antenne 10-jointed, terminated.by a club of one joint, glabrous at. base, 
pubescent at tip, received in distinct and deep grooves which follow the 
inferior margin of the eye. Abdominal segments very feebly emarginate, 
apical angles very slightly prolonged. 
This genus is closely allied to Synchita and differs in the 
above characters only.

pubescent, epistoma feebly emarginate. Thorax more than twice as wide 
as long, sides moderately arcuate, margin explanate and finely serrulate, 
disc granulate and sparsely pubescent. Elytra opaque, obsoletely striato- 
punctate, intervals flat irregularly biseriately punctate, each puncture bear- 
ing a semi-erect, short, clavate hair; surface opaque, each elytron with 
four or five indistinct rufous spots. Body beneath and legs dark ferrugi- 
nous. Length .10-.12 inch ; 2.5-3 mm. 
Occurs from Pennsylvania to Kansas.
