BARINiE 415 



4.7 mm.; width 2. 0-2. 35 mm. Massachusetts (Cambridge) to 



Florida. Five specimens scutellum-album Say 



Legs, or at least the femora, always black, the tibiae sometimes faintly 



rufescent; body smaller in size, except in divisus 8 



8 — Thoracic punctures loose, distinctly separated except at the sides, 

 rather coarse but smaller along the middle. Body much smaller 

 than in the preceding and narrower, deep black, the legs black 

 throughout; beak thicker, more strongly sculptured and more bent 

 at base in the male; antennae inserted near four-sevenths (9) or 

 three-fourths (cf ), the male club excavated and obtusely dentate 

 basally; prothorax unusually short, one-half wider than long, the 

 sides converging and moderately, subevenly arcuate throughout; 

 surface broadly and feebly impressed transversely near the apex; 

 elytra parabolic, fully twice as long as the prothorax, with rather 

 prominent humeri and coarse deep grooves; intervals only one-half 

 wider than the grooves to somewhat more, very coarsely, closely 

 punctate — often in single series, the squamules small and sparse but 

 rather brilliant white and distinct. Length (cf 9) 3-5-3-8 mm.; 

 width 1. 65-1. 85 mm. Rhode Island, Pennsylvania and North 



Carolina (Southern Pines). Six examples adjunctus n. sp. 



Thoracic punctures notably dense throughout, the prothorax less abbre- 

 viated <- 9 



9 — White squamose crust of the scutellum divided along the middle; 

 body larger. Oval, strongly convex, deep black throughout, the 

 legs and antennae black, slightly shining, the squamules above minute 

 and scarcely distinct on the pronotum, small, slender and sparse on 

 the elytra but white and evident, the large white scales of the 

 under surface generally separated but dense on the abdomen and 

 met-episterna posteriorly; beak in the male nearly straight, bent 

 at base, longer than the head and prothorax, deeply sulcate, squamu- 

 lose, the lower margin at the middle strongly arcuate; antennae in- 

 serted near three-fourths, the two outer joints of the funicle simple, 

 symmetric, oval and one-half wider than long, the elongate-oval 

 club with a strong erect and acutely triangular basal tooth; pro- 

 thorax a third wider than long, the sides converging and evenly, 

 rather strongly arcuate throughout, the punctures coarse, narrowly 

 separated, with a short median smooth line; elytra rather short, 

 with prominent humeri, only three-fourths longer than the prothorax; 

 grooves very coarse; intervals one-half wider than the grooves and 

 coarsely punctate, becoming very narrow suturally toward tip. 

 Length (cf ) 4.6 mm.; width 2.18 mm. Indiana. Levette collec- 

 tion divisus n. sp. 



White squamose crust even as usual, not divided; body smaller 10 



10 — Tooth of the male antennal club large, broadly triangular 11 



Tooth small, slender and spiniform 12 



II — Form rhomboid, the pronotum somewhat shining, black or feebly 

 picescent, the tibiae obscure rufous; beak in the male rather slender, 

 feebly arcuate, more so at base, as long as the head and prothorax, 

 punctate, the antennae inserted at apical fourth, the last funicular 

 joint but slightly transverse, with a small abrupt internal tooth,
