CRYPTOPHAGIDAE. 
CRYPTOPHAGUS SCUDDERI, sp. nov. 
Plate 2, fig. 1-2. 
Form stout. Head moderately large, closely and deeply sculptured 
with circular punctures. Eyes not definable. Antennae with the first 
joint much enlarged and thickened, intermediate ones submoniliform, 
club fairly strong and three jointed. Prothorax nearly twice as wide 
as long, base a little narrower than the apex, sides nearly straight 
posteriorly, broadly arcuate in front of the middle, surface punctate 
very similarly to the head. Elytra broader than the prothorax, apices. 
rounded, surface rather finely scabropunctate. Legs not preserved. 
Length, 3 mm. 
Described from one specimen with counterpart. 
Type.— No. 2,446, 2,447 M.C. Z. Florissant, Col. (No. 3,334 and 
5,880 S. H. Scudder Coll.). 
Differs from C. basslert in being larger and of more elongate form. 
There is also some difference in the proportions of the antennal joints 
but these are none too clear in the present specimen so I do not like 
to lay too much stress upon this character. The detail sketch is made 
from the reverse of the specimen which served for the outline of the — 
entire insect.

One specimen, No. 2,448 M. C. Z. (No. —? S. H. Seudder Coll.). 
DERMESTIDAE. 
DERMESTES TERTIARIUS Wickham. 
Two specimens, No. 2,449, 2,450 M. C. Z. (No. 7,683, 12,054 S. H. 
Scudder Coll.). The latter is a little smaller but otherwise is similar.
