surface also more coarsely punctured; and in having the basal 

 portion of the rostrum barely longer than the apical and less 

 parallel and with the apical dilatation somewhat transverse, 

 whereas the basal portion in the other is decidedly longer than 

 the apical, almost parallel near the eyes, and the apical portiorj 

 not broader than long. 



C. schwarzi n. sp. Black, shining. Head finely and sparsely punctured 

 posteriorly, rather coarsely and closely between eyes and on rostrum. 

 Sides of head posterior to eyes slightly arcuate, eyes prominent and pro- 

 jecting convexly well beyond sides of head, causing head to become sud- 

 denly constricted to base of rostrum. Vertex with a moderately deep and 

 elongate puncture, diameter of head across eyes slightly less than greatest 

 breadth of rostrum. Rostrum about half the length of the thorax, rather 

 suddenly depressed at apex, basal portion about equal in length to apical, 

 about as broad as long and with straight and parallel sides, apical portion 

 abruptly and quadrilaterally dilated, broader than long and at least one 

 third broader than basal portion, a small elongate puncture at middle of 

 dorsal surface and in line with the deeper one of the vertex. Joints of 

 funicle of antennae gradually increasing in width outwards, the outermost 

 joint about a third wider than first and one half the width of club. 



Prothorax slightly longer than broad, base bisinuate, sides from slightly 

 constricted base, gradually arcuate and convergent until near apex where 

 slightly constricted. Surface somewhat flattened above, with moderately 

 coarse and well separated punctures, coarser and closer at sides, a median 

 smooth line outlined by a margin of coarser punctures than usual, par- 

 ticularly at base. 



Elytra distinctly wider than thorax, slightly convex but with disc slightly 

 flattened, deeply striate, coarsely punctured, punctures somewhat deeper 

 and coarser at base, intervals slightly convex, very minutely uniseriately 

 punctured. 



Body beneath, sparsely and finely punctured in sternal area of thorax, 

 coarsely at sides, especially of prothorax, rather moderately and more 

 evenly punctured over abdomen. 



Length 5 mm., breadth 1.3 mm. 



Type and two paratypes in U. S. Nat. Mus., paratype in my own collec- 

 tion, all from^ Williams, Arizona, and from the Saltau collection of the 

 U. S. Nat. Mus. 



This species, which I take great pleasure in naming after my 

 good friend. Dr. E. A. Schwarz, would come in my table, closest 

 to texanns. It differs from that chiefly in having the eyes more 

 prominent, the rostrum convex on top and with a median punc- 

 ture which is in line with a similar one on the vertex, and in
