 rather long, the femora all strongly clavate. Length 1.75 mm. 

 width 0.75 mm. 



Michigan (Detroit) ; originally described from New York. 

 The original description would equally satisfy a dozen species of 

 the genus, and I do not have the type before me at present. The 

 above outline is drawn from a female specimen communicated by 

 Mr. Schwarz, and is probably a true representative of Jiavitarse ; 

 at any rate it will produce less subsequent confusion to so con- 

 sider it, whether or not it agrees rigorously with the original and 

 virtually undescribed type of LeConte. The statement in the 

 original description that the elytra at the middle are " fully ^ 

 wider " than the prothorax, is grossly erroneous for any species 

 of this group of the genus. 



9. C. oi'eophilum n. sp. — Moderately stout, polished and impunctate, 

 dark piceo-rufous, the elytra throughout paler and brighter rufous; legs and 

 antennse still paler and more flavo-ferruginous; pubescence abundant, only 

 moderately long and rather coarse on the elytra, pale in color. Head well de- 

 veloped, slightly wider than long, semicircularly rounded behind the eyes, 

 which are small and not prominent; clypeal tooth rather well developed, con- 

 vex, parallel, the tii? transversely truncate. Antennse but little longer than 

 the head and prothorax, rather slender, the club abrupt but elongate, only 

 moderatly stout and nearly parallel; second joint but slightly shorter and 

 narrower than the first, very feebly obconic, barely as long as the next two and 

 % longer than wide; three to six equal in width, cylindric, the seventh only 

 very slightly thicker; third quadrate; fourth only very slightly longer than 

 wide; fifth and sixth distinctly longer, the former I3, the latter }4, longer 

 than wide; seventh quadrate; eighth ij wider and longer than the seventh, 

 nearly as long as wide, conic at apex from the middle, slightly narrower than 

 the ninth, the latter similar in form and size to the tenth and very slightly 

 wider than long; eleventh elongate- oval, the tip slightly oblique. Prothorax 

 strongly conic, the sides feebly arcuate, scarcely as long as wide; apex rather 

 more than % as wide as the base, the latter 15 wider than the head; surface 

 perfectly even throughout. Elytra evenly elongate-oval, fully % longer than 

 wide, evidently more than twice as long as the prothorax and very nearly twice 

 as wide, widest slightly before the middle, the sides evenly arcuate; apex 

 not very acute; humeral plica elongate, oblique and pronounced, the sub- 

 humeral impression large and well developed; basal fovese distinct; subsutural 

 impressions subobsolete, the suture not at all elevated basally. Legs not very 

 long, the femora only moderately but subequally clavate. Length 1.4 mm. ; 

 width 0.65 mm.
