obconic, ^ longer than wide, slightly shorter and thicker than the next two ; 

 three to six equal in thickness, cylindric; three and six only just perceptibly 

 longer than wide; fourth ^2^, and fifth %, longer than wide; seventh decidedly 

 and abruptly thicker, cylindric- oval and only slightly longer than wide; eighth 

 abruptly thicker but intermediate between seven and nine, not longer than 

 wide ; tenth barely as long as wide ; outer five joints strongly beaded at base. 

 Prothorax but slightly longer than wide, strongly conic, apex % as wide as the 

 base, the latter % wider than the head ; surface perfectly even, without trace 

 of impression. Elytra less than 3^ longer than wide, barely twice as long as 

 the prothorax and almost twice as wide, oval, widest but little before the 

 middle, the sides evenly arcuate ; humeral plica elongate and strong, the sub- 

 humeral impression large and distinct ; subsutural impressions deep and dis- 

 tinct. Legs long, the femora all strongly clavate. Length 1.75 mm. ; width 

 0.75 mm. 



Texas (Galveston). 



The description of the antennae is drawn from a specimen which 

 is undoubtedly male, the other does not permit of identification 

 in regard to sex. Two specimens. 



This species almost exactly resembles schaumi in the form and 

 convexity of the clypeal tooth, but the antennae differ somewhat 

 in relative lengths of the joints, and the el^ytra are decidedly 

 shorter, relatively wider and more strongly impressed near the 

 suture.

Moderately stout, fusiform, polished, subimpunctate, brownish- 

 red, the elytra and legs pale and bright rufo-testaceous ; antennae 

 slightly darker ; pubescence long, moderately abundant, fulvous. 

 Head but slightly wider than long, semicircular behind the eyes, 

 the latter quite well developed, convex; base vertical, the neck 

 narrow; clypeal tooth strong, wide, obtusely rounded at tip and 

 with its upper surface convex. Antennae less than ^ as long as 

 the body, the club rather abrupt and parallel ; second joint f 

 longer than wide ; third not longer than wide ; fourth and sixth ^, 

 the fifth f longer than wide ; seventh thicker, cylindric, ^ longer 

 than wide, rather shorter than the eighth, which is very little 

 elongate ; ninth and tenth subequal, not longer than wide ; 

 eleventh almost as long as the two preceding. Prothorax but 

 slightly longer than wide, the apex rather more than ^ as wide as 

 the base, the latter broadly arcuate and nearly ^ wider than the 

 head; surface perfectly even, not impressed. Elytra elongate,
