This species may be distinguished in the present group by its 

 somewhat large size, ample elytra and other characters. 



40. C decorum n. sp. — Somewhat stout, polished, subirapunctate, pale 

 browuish-testaceous throughout, the legs and antennse similar in color but 

 paler from diaphaneity; pubescence abundant, pale in color, rather coarse, 

 only moderate iu length and recurved on the elytra. Head rather well de- 

 veloped, much wider than long, subcircularly rounded behind the eyes, which 

 are moderate in size but somewhat convex and distinct; clypeus carinate along 

 the middle but devoid of any trace of marginal tooth. Antenna but little 

 longer than the head and prothorax, slender, the club rather strong but gradual 

 in formation, the eighth joint intermediate; second joint rather narrow, much 

 shorter and thinner than the first, % longer than wide, cylindric, narrowed at 

 base, rather longer than the next two ; three to six equal in width ; third and 

 fourth equal and about as long as wide, slightly narrower than the second ; 

 fifth a little longer, barely longer than wide ; sixth quadrate ; seventh only 

 very slightly wider, cylindric, as long as wide ; eighth nearly J^ wider than 

 the seventh, rounded in apical %, very nearly as long as wide ; ninth }4 wider 

 than the eighth, }4^ wider than long, fully as wide as the tenth, which is }4 

 wider than long ; eleventh scarcely thicker, not quite as long as the two pre- 

 ceding, obtuse and but slightly oblique at apex. Pro^/ioraa; strongly conic, the 

 sides somewhat arcuate ; apex a little more than y^ as wide as the base, the 

 latter nearly 3^ wider than the head ; surface perfectly even and convex 

 throughout. Elytra scarcely % longer than wide, twice as long as the pro- 

 thorax and % wider, not very acute at apex, widest before the middle but 

 with the sides very broadly and evenly arcuate ; humeral plica short and 

 feeble, the subhumeral impression very small and inconspicuous ; inner fovea 

 small but distinct, the outer indefinite ; subsutural impressions completely 

 obsolete, the suture not beaded basally. Legs rather short, the anterior femora 

 distinctly, the four posterior quite feebly, clavate. Length 1.2 mm. ; width 

 0.5 mm. 



Pennsylvania ("Westmoreland Co.). Mr. Schmitt. 



The sex of the type is not discoverable at present, but the 

 species may be readily known by its uniform pale coloration, 

 carinate clypeus, unimpressed pronotum and other characters. 

 Two specimens. 



Decorum is allied rather closely to hirtellum but differs in its 

 smaller size, more slender antennae with relatively fully as stout 

 but shorter and more gradually formed club, shorter elytra and 

 more slender legs. 



41. C. digress lim n. sp. — Moderately stout and somewhat ventrieose, 

 polished, impunctate, dark rufo-testaceous, the elytra and legs but slightly 

 paler ; tarsi flavate as usual ; pubescence abundant but quite short, coarse, re- 

 curved, pale and conspicuous on the elytra, where it is even and not mixed with 

 longer setae. Head well developed, orbicular, but slightly wider than long,
