places. Length, to abdominal apex, 7.75 mm. If the head were in 
the presumed natural position, instead of being deflexed, the length — 
would be about 1 mm. greater. 
Described from one specimen, with counterpart. 
Type.— No. 2,697, 2,698 M. C. Z. Florissant, Col. (No. 8,312 
and 8,317 S. H. Scudder Coll.). No. 2,699 M. C. Z. (No. 1,526 S. H. 
Seudder Coll.) is probably a poorly preserved example of the same 
species. 
While this insect is a little smaller than the recent 7. fulva of New 
Mexico, it resembles it quite closely in form and has similar vestiture. 
The relative size of the head is about the same in the two species and 
except that the joints are shorter in the fossil the antennae are not 
unlike. No true generic characters are to be made out, but the general 
resemblance to Tetraonyx is very well marked. | 
EPICAUTA SUBNEGLECTA, Sp. Nov. 
Plate 16, fig. 6. 
Preserved in side view. Form quite stout. Head very poorly out- 
lined and not showing the shape of the eyes but it is only of moderate 
size and without definite sculpture though appearing subrugose under 
high power. Antennae showing only a few of the proximal joints 
which are strongly hairy. Prothorax nearly smooth but with many 
rather long hairs. Elytra similarly clothed and not visibly punctate. 
Legs rather slender. Length, to abdominal apex, 6.50 mm.; of elytron, 
4.30 mm. 
Described from one specimen with counterpart. 
Type.— No. 2,700, 2,701 M. C. Z. Florissant, Col. (No. 478 and 
4,278 S. H. Scudder Coll.). 
This is rather small for an Epicauta. It has the shaggy look of the 
recent North American EH. puncticollis. The generic reference may 
have to be changed if more perfect material becomes available. 
CANTHARIS LITHOPHILUS, Sp. Nov. 
Plate 16, fig. 7. 
Form slender. Head small for the genus roughly suborbicular. 
Eyes not well defined. Antennae short and stout as in several recent
