having the apical part of the rostrum more depressed. Super- 

 ficially it suggests a small piniphilus but it lacks the cuneiform 

 thorax and besides has a different type of head and rostrum. 

 The presence of fovea on both vertex and rostrum and the 

 apically depressed rostrum should prevent this species from being 

 confused with any other in our fauna. 



C. hubbardi Schwarz. Psyche, Supplement to, I, May, 1899. Black, but 

 slightly shining. Head smooth back of eyes, coarsely punctured from 

 hind margin of eyes forward to middle of basal portion of rostrum, thence 

 smooth and sparsely finely punctured. Front with a deep oblong* fovea 

 extending to the anterior part of the vertex. Eyes moderate in size and 

 barely protruding beyond the straight and oblique sides of head, diameter 

 of head across e}^es about one third greater than dilated portion of ros- 

 trum. Rostrum slightly longer than one half of thorax, arcuate, basal 

 portion just perceptibly shorter than apical portion, cylindrical and with 

 sides just divergent anteriorly, apical portion feebly dilated and quadri- 

 lateral. Antennae inserted at outer fifth of beak, scape extending slightly 

 beyond the hind margins of the eyes, first funicular joint about twice as 

 long as wide; second point slightly longer than wide, obconical, joints 3-7 

 transverse, gradually but not strongly increasing in width, club large, over 

 twice as broad as outermost joint of funicle, oblong-oval, opaque, pubes- 

 cent, basal portion very little smoother than the apical portion. 



Prothorax very little longer than broad, with sides straight and slightly 

 diverging from base to three fourths of length, then evenly rounded to 

 near apex where but slightly constricted, base bisinuate. Surface some- 

 what flattened, extremely coarsely, densely cribrato-punctate, the inter- 

 stices broader and more shining on the disc than on the sides, a distinct 

 depression anterior to the scutellum where a shining cribriform elevation 

 may be seen, and on front of this a large equally shining rudiment of a 

 smooth median line. 



Elytra at base considerably wider than thorax, striate, the striae ex- 

 tremely coarsely punctate, intervals narrow, subcostiform, sutural inter- 

 stices with row of fine punctures and depressed behind the scutellum. 



Body beneath very coarsely and densely punctate, the mesosternum and 

 abdomen less densely than the prosternum. Front tibia not sinuate at 

 inner edge. 



Length 3.7-4.8 mm., breadth 1.5 mm. 



This very distinct species which is related to none of our other 

 species, was unfortunately overlooked when I reviewed the genus. 

 I have therefore introduced it here in order to have all of our 

 species listed together. The description given is based upon the
