wider than long ; eleventh short, not quite as long as the two preceding 

 and just visibly thicker, rather rapidly pointed at tip. Frothorax as long as 

 wide, scarcely % wider than the head, feebly narrowed at base and only 

 slightly more rapidly so at apex, the latter fully % as wide as the base ; sur- 

 face near the base with two strong rounded fovese, separated by }^ the width 

 at the middle, and a small fovea near each side which is continued to the basal 

 margin, the inner side of the canal finely cariniform. Elytra evenly oval, % 

 longer than wide, barely twice as long as the prothorax and fully % wider, 

 widest only slightly before the middle, the sides very evenly and broadly 

 arcuate thro aghout the length ; humeral plica moderate in length, strong and 

 distinct, the impression deep and obvious ; fovese evident ; subsutural impres- 

 sions rather short and narrow but deep ; suture finely beaded, the bead 

 triangularly expanded at base. Legs moderate in length, the femora distinctly 

 clavate. Length 1.0 mm. ; width 0.38 mm. 



'North Carolina (Asheville). 



The single type before me is a male, the oedeagus being partially 

 protruded ; its narrowed apical portion is subparallel, bluntly 

 rounded at tip, thin and with its plane turned strongly upward 

 toward tip in profile ; the lateral appendages are well developed 

 and finely setose at apex. 



This small but distinct species may be readily distinguished by 

 the isolated fovese of the pronotum, distinct humeral plica, short, 

 recurved and even elytral pubescence, strong and abrupt antennal 

 club and other characters. 



11. E. putus n. sp. — Somewhat narrowly oval and very feebly ventricose, 

 polished, impunctate, dark rufo-testaceous throughout ; legs and antennae 

 slightly paler, brownish-testaceous ; pubescence rather abundant, pale, long, 

 stiff and directed backward on the basal parts of the head, bristling on the 

 pronotum, moderately long, even, recurved and intermingled with longer 

 erect hairs on the elytra. Head rather small, narrow, elongate-oval and 

 unusually prolonged, evenly and narrowly parabolic behind the eyes, the lat- 

 ter moderate in size but rather convex and slightly prominent ; antennal 

 tubercles strong and somewhat approximate, the front concave between them ; 

 front between the antennal cavities rather narrow but not swollen, the clypeus 

 normal, rectilinearly truncate at apex ; labrum rather small ; third palpal joint 

 somewhat swollen. Antennx short and slightly stout, not quite as long as the 

 head and prothorax, the club distinct but gradual, the eighth joint inter- 

 mediate ; second joint obsuboval, % longer than wide, as long as the next two 

 and thicker ; three to six equal in width ; third and sixth not quite as long as 

 wide ; fourth and fifth quadrate ; seventh scarcely y^ wider, not as long as' 

 wide ; eighth fully % wider than the seventh, oval, '^4 wider than long ; ninth 

 % wider, )^ wider than long, subequal to tenth ; eleventh not thicker, much 

 shorter than the two preceding, obliquely pointed at tip. Prothorax large, 

 not quite as long as wide, about }4. wider than the head, feebly narrowed at
