The large size, more robust form, and the short antennal scrobes 

 make this an easily recognisable species. 



Pandeletejus submetallicus, new species. 



More or less greenish-metallic, generally more so on the underside than above. 

 Beak short, transverse, deeply triangularly emarginate at apex. Eyes small, rounded. 

 Scrobes rather strongly arcuate and long, but distant from the eyes. Antennae tes- 

 taceous, shining, scarcely at all pubescent ; first joint of funicle stout, as long as the 

 second and third together. Prothorax cup-shaped, wider at apex than base, sides 

 feebly arcuate, rather strongly constricted near base, sinuate near apex ; surface 

 coarsely, not densely punctate. Elytra at base much wider than the thorax at base ; 

 sides gradually widening to about apical third, thence arcuately narrowing to apex ; 

 disk with regular rows of moderately large punctures ; intervals flat, each with a 

 single row of small, sparse punctures. Eirst ventral suture strongly arcuate at middle. 

 Anterior femora not elongate; anterior tibiae not dentate within. Length 3.5 mm. 



Beaver Co., Utah. 



This little species looks somewhat strange among the other species 

 •of Pandeletejus, but as it has the principal characters of this genus I 

 prefer to leave it here at present. 



Table of the Species of Pandeletejus. 



1. Beak deeply, arcuately excavate-emarginate at apex ; the emarginarion limited 



behind by an arcuate ridge cavirostris 



Beak more or less emarginate or truncate at apex ; without ridge limiting the 

 emargi nation 2 



2. Humeri absent, elytra oval with base as wide as the base of thorax, the latter 



feebly arcuate at sides with feeble basal and apical constriction ovipennis 



Humeri distinct, base of elytra very distinctly wider than the base of prothorax. 



3 



3. Antennal funicle six-jointed ; head and beak in front of the eyes concave ; beak 



triangularly emarginate ' rotundicollis 



Antennal funicle seven-jointed 4 



4. Head, when viewed laterally, very convex, thorax cup-shaped, distinctly wider at 



apex than at base, scales of upper surface uniform, not forming a pattern 9 



Head between the eyes feebly convex or flat; thorax at apex as wide or very 

 slightly narrower than at base ; scales of upper surface variegated, producing a 

 more or less distinct design 5 



5. First joint of antennal funicle longer than the two following joints ; basal thoracic 



constriction short and feeble sirnphi rius 



First joint of funicle as long as the two following joints 6 



6. Apex of beak truncate hilaris 



Apex of beak emarginate 7 



7. Prothorax feebly arcuate at sides 8 



Prothorax broadly arcuate at sides ; beak feebly triangularly emarginate at apex ; 



form large and robust robustus
