fully ^ longer than wide, more than twice as long as the prothorax 

 and I wider, oval, widest slightly before the middle, the sides 

 evenly arcuate; humeral plica and subhumeral impression well 

 developed; subsutural impressions narrow and rather feeble, the 

 sutural bead very fine and feeble. Legs rather thick, moderate 

 in length; femora all strongly clavate. Length 1.15 mm.; width

Louisiana. This species may be recognized by the stout, blunt 

 and convex clypeal tooth, narrowish form, elongate elytra, pale 

 rufous and strongly clavate femora and antennal structure ; the 

 type described appears to be a male, but I am not certain of this, 

 as the oedeagus is entirely concealed. 



Schaumi is of course not a preoccupied name in Connophron, 

 and, in Euconnus, sc/^aam^ Lucas, is considered by the authorities 

 of the most recent catalogue as a synonym of intrusus Schaum, 

 so the name appears to be perfectly valid for the present species, 

 and need not be replaced by magister as suggested by LeConte.
