  Hah. 
  Ciudad,

  Durango 
  (Hoge). 
  

  

  The 
  arcuated 
  sides 
  of 
  the 
  thorax 
  would 
  render 
  this 
  

   species 
  almost 
  equally 
  well 
  placed 
  in 
  the 
  genus 
  Leio- 
  

   cnemis, 
  but 
  the 
  base 
  is 
  not 
  distinctly 
  narrowed 
  ; 
  the 
  

   arcuation 
  of 
  the 
  lateral 
  margin 
  continues 
  (though 
  be- 
  

   coming 
  slight) 
  to 
  the 
  hind 
  angles, 
  which 
  are 
  obtuse 
  

   rather 
  than 
  rectangular. 
  In 
  the 
  darker 
  examples 
  the 
  

   basal 
  half 
  of 
  the 
  terminal 
  joints 
  of 
  the 
  palpi 
  is 
  dark 
  

   brown.

  I 
  refer 
  this 
  insect, 
  taken 
  abundantly 
  by 
  Herr 
  Hoge, 
  to 
  

   C. 
  rectangula, 
  Lee, 
  with 
  some 
  hesitation 
  ; 
  but 
  it 
  agrees 
  

   with 
  his 
  brief 
  description 
  fairly 
  well. 
  The 
  species 
  is 
  an 
  

   addition 
  to 
  the 
  Mexican 
  fauna.

  in 
  Durango 
  (Hoge). 
  

  

  A 
  large 
  series, 
  varying 
  greatly 
  in 
  size 
  (13 
  to 
  17 
  millim,), 
  

   and 
  to 
  some 
  extent 
  in 
  form 
  of 
  body, 
  some 
  examples 
  

   being 
  shorter, 
  with 
  more 
  ovate 
  elytra, 
  like 
  specimens 
  I 
  

   have 
  seen 
  of 
  this 
  species 
  from 
  Kansas, 
  and 
  others 
  being 
  

   decidedly 
  more 
  oblong. 
  The 
  elytra 
  are 
  generally 
  very 
  

   finely 
  striate-punctate 
  towards 
  the 
  suture, 
  but 
  in 
  some 
  

   examples 
  they 
  are 
  smooth, 
  with 
  only 
  faint 
  traces 
  of 
  

   striae 
  under 
  the 
  lens. 
  According 
  to 
  Leconte 
  the 
  elytral 
  

   strise 
  are 
  sometimes 
  effaced. 
  Also, 
  like 
  the 
  following, 
  

   an 
  addition 
  to 
  the 
  Mexican 
  fauna. 
  

  

  Pcecilus

  Herr 
  Hoge 
  captured 
  a 
  specimen 
  of 
  this 
  boreal 
  American 
  

   insect 
  at 
  Paso 
  del 
  Norte.
