elytra short, broadly parabolic, with moderate humeri, barely three- 

 fourths longer than the prothorax; grooves deep; intervals less or 

 more than twice as wide as the grooves, moderately coarsely, strongly 

 and very densely punctate; under surface with dense white oval 

 scales as usual. Length (cf) 3.3-3.8 mm.; width 1.5-1.8 mm. 

 Delaware (Milford) subaffinis n. sp. 



13 — Oblong-suboval, rather narrow, black throughout, feebly shining; 

 .squamules of the upper surface very small, slender, sparse' and 

 indistinct, the white scales beneath narrowly separated; beak in 

 the male only moderately stout, feebly arcuate, shorter than usual, 

 barely as long as the head and prothorax, the antennae inserted 

 beyond apical third, the outer funicular joints transverse and com- 

 pact, the last two pointed within, the club elongate-oval, with a 

 prominent and acutely triangular basal tooth; prothorax two-fifths 

 wider than long, moderately coarsely and very densely punctate 

 throughout; elytra evenly parabolic, with moderately prominent 

 humeri, not quite twice as long as the prothorax, the grooves moder- 

 ate, very deep; intervals from less than two to two and one-half 

 times as wide as the grooves, the punctures smaller than usual, 

 confused throughout but not very dense. Length (cf) 3.0 mm.; 

 width 1.35 mm. New York (Long Island) subabruptus n. sp. 



14 — Body narrowly oblong-suboval, slightly shining, black, the tibiae 

 obscure rufous; beak in the female rather slender, sparsely punctate, 

 feebly arcuate, broadly and feebly constricted near basal third and 

 nearly half as long as the body, the antennae slender, inserted at 

 four-sevenths; prothorax short, four-sevenths wider than long, the 

 sides feebly converging and very slightly arcuate, gradually broadly 

 rounding before the middle; punctures very moderate and well 

 separated, dense toward the sides, the imperfect smooth line narrow 

 though traceable; elytra narrowly parabolic, two and a third times 

 as long as the prothorax, with rather prominent humeri, the grooves 

 coarse, deep, the intervals less than twice as wide as the grooves, 

 with single series of moderately coarse punctures, which are more 

 or less confused on the sixth, except behind the middle, the squam- 

 ules white and linear but rather broad and conspicuous. Length 

 (9) 2.7 mm.; width 1.2 mm. New York (locality unrecorded). 

 One example amputatus n. sp. 



Body a little larger and stouter, oblong-suboval, somewhat shining, 

 piceous-black; beak in the female almost as in the preceding but 

 somewhat thicker and less constricted near basal third, the antennae 

 almost similar; prothorax of different outline, trapezoidal, one- 

 half wider than long, the converging sides very evenly and but 

 slightly arcuate from base to apex; basal lobe larger and more 

 prominent; punctures coarser, distinctly separated, dense laterally, 

 the smooth median line barely traceable and only centrally; elytra 

 similar but more broadly parabolic, only three-fourths longer than 

 the prothorax, almost similarly grooved and punctate and with 

 similar conspicuous squamules. Length (9) 3.2 mm.; width 1.4 



mm. New Jersey unilineatus n. sp.
