much longer, extending almost through the second segment. Length 

 (cT) 2.8 mm.; width 1.15 mm. New York (locality unrecorded). 

 One example fultonica n. sp. 



8 — Form narrowly oblong-oval, not very convex, rather dull in lustre; 

 beak in the female very slender, evenly arcuate, as long as the 

 prothorax, smooth, squamulose at each side above basally, the 

 antennae at the middle; prothorax a fifth wider than long, the sides 

 parallel in basal half, rounding gently thence to the subtubulate 

 apex, which is three-fifths as wide as the base; punctures small but 

 close-set, the narrow smooth line not attaining the apex; elytra 

 narrowly subparabolic, almost one-half longer than wide, rather 

 obtusely rounded at apex, only slightly wider than the prothorax 

 and somewhat more than twice as long; grooves moderate, deep; 

 intervals about twice as wide as the grooves, each with a single 

 regular series of distinct punctures. Length (9 ) 2.25 mm.; width 

 0.85 mm. Mississippi (Vicksburg). One example aegra n. sp. 



Form broader, oblong-suboval, with wider and relatively shorter elytra, 

 slightly more shining; beak (cf) sparsely punctate and shining, 

 of the usual form and much shorter than the prothorax, or (9) 

 equal to the latter, slender, smooth and more arcuate; antennae well 

 beyond or slightly behind the middle respectively; prothorax a 

 fourth to fifth wider than long, the sides as in the preceding, the 

 subtubulate apex about three-fifths as wide as the base; punctures 

 stronger and less close-set than in the preceding, the smooth line 

 not attaining the apex; elytra a fourth longer than wide, the sides 

 less oblique and more arcuate with the apex obtusely rounded, 

 distinctly wider than the prothorax but not quite twice as long, the 

 sculpture similar, except that the punctures of the interstitial series 

 are finer and less close-set; abdomen of the male strongly impressed 

 medially through the first segment, the prosternum not deeply 

 fossate and with two very short and slender, porrect spines. Length 

 (cf 9 ) 2.3-2.45 mm.; width 0.95-1.0 mm. North Carolina (Ashe- 

 ville and Black Mts.) ashevillensis n. sp. 



9 — Body oblong-oval, moderately stout, feebly shining, piceous-black; 

 beak in the female very slender, moderately arcuate and in great 

 part smooth, unusually short, not as long as the prothorax, feebly 

 swollen above at base and more punctulate; antennae barely behind 

 the middle; prothorax a fifth or sixth wider than long, the sides 

 broadly arcuate, becoming parallel behind the middle, the short 

 tubulate apex slightly more than half as wide as the base; punctures 

 moderate, close-set, the smooth line not quite entire; elytra obtusely 

 parabolic, slightly wider than the prothorax and twice as long; 

 striae moderate, the intervals two or three times as wide as the 

 grooves, minutely, loosely and more or less confusedly punctulate, 

 the punctures occasionally forming partial single series. Length 

 (9 ) 2.8 mm.; width 1.15 mm. Colorado curtulirostris n. sp. 



Body much larger and stouter, oblong-suboval, alutaceous, black; beak 

 in the male three-fourths as long as the prothorax, sparsely punctate, 

 straight, bent at the point of antennal insertion near four-sevenths; 

 prothorax a fifth wider than long, the sides parallel, broadly arcuate,
