29. C. comptuin. n. sp. — Moderately stout, highly polished and subim- 

 punctate, pale brownish-testaceous and unicolorous throughout, the legs and 

 antennae concolorous; pubescence somewhat abundant, coarse, pale in color; 

 rather short and recurved on the elytra. Head moderate in size, slightly 

 wider than long, subcircular behind the eyes, which are rather distinct and 

 noticeably convex; clypeal tooth small but very obvious, obtusely rounded 

 and tumid. Antennas slender, evidently longer than the head and prothorax, 

 the club only moderately thick, gradual in formation; second joint only 

 slightly shorter, though distinctly narrower, than the first, feebly obconic, 

 rather longer than the next two and fully }4 longer than wide; three to six 

 almost exactly equal among themselves, eylindric and X ^ider than long; 

 seventh scarcely }4= wider, about }4: wider than long, eylindric; eighth nearly 

 3^ wider than the seventh, }-^ wider than long, rounded in apical third; ninth 

 ^ wider than the eighth, only 3^4 wider than long; tenth slightly wider than 

 the ninth and much more transverse, % wider than long; eleventh oval, much 

 shorter than the two preceding and rather thicker, very obtusely ogival at 

 apex and slightly oblique. Prothorax conic, the sides very feebly arcuate, nearly 

 as long as wide ; apex perceptibly more than % ^s wide as the base, the latter 

 nearly % wider than the head; surface perfectly even throughout. Elytra 

 ample, more than % longer than wide, fully twice as long as the prothorax 

 and f^ wider, somewhat acutely rounded behind, widest and with the sides 

 broadly and evenly arcuate well before the middle; humeral plica and attend- 

 ant impression small and rather feeble; fovese distinct; subsutural impressions 

 almost obsolete, the suture not beaded toward base. Legs moderate, the 

 femora distinctly clavate, the posterior more feebly. Length 1.05-1.1 mm.; 

 width 0.45-0.5 mm.

Sexual characters cannot be detected in the specimens at hand 

 and are probablj'^ very slight. The species can only be confounded 

 with humile and pallidum^ but may be known from both by the 

 relatively larger and longer elytra and less strongly clavate an- 

 tennae, and, from the latter, also by its decidedly larger size. 



30. C humile n. sp. — Subrhomboidal, not A^ery stout, polished, the 

 elytra sparsely subpunctulate, bright rufo-testaceous throughout, the legs and 

 antennse paler but brownish ; pubescence abundant, coarse, pale in color, rather 

 short and recurved on the elytra. Head moderate in size, slightly wider than 

 long, convex, semicircularly rounded behind, the eyes rather small and only 

 slightly convex; clypeal tooth small, broadly triangular, the clypeus carinu- 

 Jate along the middle from base to the apex of the tooth. Antenna stout, not 

 longer than the head and prothorax, the club strong but not abrupt; second 

 joint as thick as the first but shorter, obconic, ^g longer than wide, much 

 thicker than three to six, which are eylindric and almost exactly equal among 

 themselves, }4 wider than long and compactly Joined; seventh scarcely 14: 

 wider, J^^' wider than long; eighth }^ wider than the seventh, abruptly nar- 

 rowed only at the extreme ajpex and ^g wider than long; joints eight to ten
