club not very abrupt and with its joints increasing gradually in thickness ; 

 second twice as long as wide, cylindric, very nearly as long as the next two and 

 but slightly thicker ; third 1-3, fourth ^5, fifth J^, sixth '}-^, longer than wide ; 

 -seventh but slightly thicker, cylindric, nearly }4 longer than wide ; eighth de- 

 cidedly thicker, oval, narrowed toward base and distinctly longer than wide, 

 rather longer than the ninth, which is fully as long as wide ; tenth a little 

 wider than long ; eleventh almost as long as the two preceding, obliquely 

 pointed. Prothorax scarcely longer than wide, conic, the sides very feebly 

 arcuate ; apex fully }4 as wide as the base, the latter }{ wider than the head ; 

 surface even. Elytra }4. longer than wide, more than twice as long as the pro- 

 thorax and % wider, oval, widest before the middle, rather narrowly rounded 

 at apex, the sides somewhat more strongly arcuate near basal % ; humeral 

 plica and subhumeral impression long and pronounced ; fovese small but deep ; 

 subsutural impressions feeble but distinct, the suture finely elevated basally. 

 Abdomen sparsely clothed with rather long hairs. Legs well developed, the 

 femora all strongly clavate but unequally so as usual. Length 1.4-1.5 mm. ; 

 width 0.6 mm. 



Iowa (Iowa Cit\') ; Michigan — Mr. J. Croissandeau. 



The type described is a male, and in this sex the anterior 

 femora are very strongly swollen, with their anterior side glabrous 

 in basal half, asperately and sparsely punctate about the middle 

 of the length, the asperities bearing short hairs, and thence clothed 

 with the usual long sparse hair to the apex. The female is slightly 

 shorter and stouter, with the antennae a little less elongate, and 

 with the club more abrupt but not stouter, the basal joint, espe- 

 cially, shorter, the second fully twice as long as wide, the third 

 only a little longer than wide, the eighth not at all elongate. 



This species resembles fossiger, especially when the elytra be- 

 come slightly rufescent from immaturity, but it may be known at 

 once by the sexual characters of the male, and by the still more 

 minute cl3q3eal tooth. Numerous specimens. 



22. C. proceriim n. sp. — Narrowly fusiform, polished and impunctate, 

 uniform dark rufo-testaceous throughout, the legs and antennae concolorous; 

 pubescence long, moderately abundant, pale yellowish in color, rather coarse 

 on the elytra. Head well developed, nearly as long as wide, subcircular or 

 slightly parabolic behind, the eyes moderate in size, not very convex ; clypeal 

 tooth very minute, swollen, obtusely rounded. Antennve nearly }4, ^^ long as 

 the body, stout, the club slightly abrupt and with its joints increasing just vis- 

 ibly in width ; second joint % as long as the first, and, at apex, nearly as thick, 

 strongly obconic, % longer than wide, as long as the next two ; three to six 

 distinctly narrower than the apex of the second and cylindric, the third dis- 

 tinctly shorter than wide ; four and five fully as long as wide ; six a little shorter, 

 scarcely as long as wide ; seventh J^ thicker and a little longer than the sixth, 

 scarcely as long as wide ; eighth fully % thicker than the seventh, not as long
