460 Coleopterological Notices, VII. 



wider than the head; surface very feebly impressed transversely near the base. 

 Elytra % longer than wide, distinctly more than twice as long as the 

 prothorax and % wider, widest only slightly before the middle, narrowly 

 parabolic at apex, the sides strongly and almost evenly arcuate ; humeral plica 

 long and very strong, the subhumeral impression large, deep and conspicuous; 

 fovese deep; subsutural impressions feeble and indistinct, the suture finely but 

 distinctly beaded basally, the bead rapidly and strongly expanded at base. 

 Abdomen with the basal segment nearly transverse at apex, having the margin 

 fringed densely with a short porrect and subdivided membranous border. 

 Legs well developed, the femora strongly and subequally clavate. Length 

 1.35 mm. ; width 0.65 mm. 



Pennsylvania (Westmoreland Co.). Mr. Schmitt. 



The two specimens before me are both females, but the species 

 can readily be distinguished from capillosidum, and other allied 

 forms, by its smaller size, shorter, coarser and less abundant 

 elj^tral vestiture, much shorter antennae with transverse penul- 

 timate joints, and by the very faint transverse impression of the 

 pronotum. 



75. C filitarse n. sp. — Somewhat narrowly oval, polished and impunc- 

 tate, dark testaceous, the entire elytra, legs and antennae uniform and paler 

 testaceous; pubescence rather sparse, long, coarse, pale, erect, and conspicuous; 

 though decidedly sparse, on the elytra. Head as long as wide, broadly para- 

 bolic behind, the eyes only moderately large but very convex and prominent; 

 front distinctly and narrowly concave between the feeble antennal prominences; 

 clypeus smooth and polished, rectilinear at apex, with the feeblest possible 

 rounded inequality for a short distance at the middle. Antennas slender, 

 about '^4 ^s long as the body, the club narrow and very gradual in formation; 

 second joint much shorter than the first, about % longer than wide, as long as 

 the next two and much thicker; three to six equal in width, cylindric; third 

 not quite as long as wide; fourth quadrate; fifth and sixth subequal and just 

 visibly longer than wide; seventh cylindric, /^ thicker and 3^ longer than the 

 sixth, rather longer than wide; eighth scarcely ^ thicker than the seventh, 

 subglobular, fully as long as wide; ninth and tenth slightly but distinctly 

 wider, the latter slightly the shorter and very little wider than long; eleventh 

 slightly thicker than the two preceding and nearly as long, obtusely pointed 

 and scarcely at all oblique at tip. Prothorax well developed, nearly as long as 

 wide, conic with slightly arcuate sides; apex % as wide as the base, which is 

 rather more than 3^4 wider than the head; surface transversely and rather 

 strongly impressed near the base, the impression feebly interrupted at the 

 middle. Elytra long, % longer than wide, much more than twice as long as 

 the prothorax and % wider, widest near basal third, the sides broadly arcuate; 

 apex narrow; humeral plica moderate in length but strongly elevated, the 

 subhumeral impression deep and rather large; fovese deep; subsutural impres- 

 sions rather deep and distinct, the suture however scarcely at all modified. 

 Abdomen with the basal segment simple and scarcely at all modified at apex,
