the club large, elongate-oval; prothorax two-fifths wider than long, 

 the converging and feebly arcuate sides more rounded apically; 

 punctures coarse, subconfluent, becoming fine and sparse medio- 

 apically, the smooth line obsolete; elytra very obtusely parabolic, 

 fully twice as long as the prothorax, with only moderately prominent 

 humeri, the grooves deep; intervals alternating from one-half wider 

 than the grooves to twice as wide as the latter, the very coarse 

 crowded punctures bearing each a small but whitish and very dis- 

 tinct squamule. Length (cf ) 4.2 mm.; width 1.9 mm. A single 

 example received from a foreign dealer, labeled "N. Am. — D. 

 Wehneke." incertus n. sp. 



Form nearly similar but narrower, black throughout, rather shining; 

 beak in the male punctate, rather shorter, barely as long as the head 

 and prothorax, the antennae inserted near two-thirds, the last 

 funicular joint slightly transverse, oblique within, the club large, 

 elongate-oval; prothorax a third wider than long, the converging 

 sides feebly, subevenly arcuate, only just visibly more so apically; 

 punctures moderate in size, very close-set but scarcely in contact, 

 with a partial smooth median line; elytra less obtusely parabolic, 

 evidently less than twice as long as the prothorax, the grooves less 

 coarse, very deep; intervals more equal, nearly twice as wide as the 

 grooves, the punctures much less coarse and not so dense, bearing 

 small and slender, white but much less conspicuous squamules. 

 Length (cf) 3.3 mm.; width 1.6 mm. New York (locality un- 

 recorded) fultoni n. sp. 



12 — Body elongate-oval, convex, black throughout, slightly shining, the 

 squamules of the upper surface whitish but very small, sparse and 

 barely at all evident; beak in the male feebly arcuate, bent at base, 

 longer than the head and prothorax, the antennae rather beyond 

 two-thirds, the last funicular joint transversely cuneiform, shortest 

 within, the club large, elongate-oval, the tooth slender, very promi- 

 nent; prothorax fully a third wider than long, the sides very feebly 

 converging and but slightly arcuate, rounding apically; punctures 

 moderate, very dense and confluent basally and laterally, finer and 

 separated medio-apically, the smooth line obsolete; elytra evenly 

 parabolic, with moderately prominent humeri, about twice as long 

 as the prothorax; grooves moderate, very abrupt and deep, punctate 

 at bottom as usual; intervals about twice as wide as the grooves, 

 the punctures moderately coarse, dense, sometimes in looser single 

 series. Length (cf ) 3.6 mm.; width 1.55 mm. Northern Illinois, 

 — Webster illini n. sp. 



Body rather stouter, oval, convex, scarcely shining, black, the tibiae 

 rufescent; squamules of the upper surface small, slender and sparse, 

 whitish and evident, though not at all conspicuous; beak in the 

 male nearly straight, abruptly bent at base; antennae inserted beyond 

 apical third, nearly as in the preceding in structure; prothorax larger, 

 barely a third wider than long, the moderately converging sides 

 distinctly and subevenly arcuate, only a little more so apically; 

 punctures moderate, deep and very dense, somewhat looser medio- 

 apically, the median line not smooth though feebly tumid basally;
