 tarsi long and slender, the basal joint as long as the next three. Length 1.25

North Carolina. 



This species is somewhat aberrant in its nearly simple basal 

 segment of the abdomen. It may be recognized by the narrowly 

 oval form, rather sparse and coarse elytral vestiture and other 

 characters. The single male in my cabinet has the terminal spur 

 of the hind tibiae rather stout, straight and somewhat more than 

 half as long as the tarsus.

 "black throughout, the antennae dark red-brown ; legs piceous-black, the tarsi 

 pale ; pubescence abundant, long, fine, erect and rather dark in color on the 

 -elytra. Head distinctly wider than long, circularly rounded behind, the eyes 

 only moderate in size though convex ; antennal prominences large and rather 

 strong, the front concave between them ; clypeus long, even, feebly asperate, 

 the apex rectilinear, with an exceedingly minute and broadly rounded median 

 projection. Antennse slender but rather short, not 3^ as long as the body, the 

 club pronounced though not very abrupt and distinctly incrassate ; second 

 joint very feebly obconic, % longer than wide, barely as long as the next two 

 and distinctly thicker ; three to six subequal, smooth, the third as long as 

 wide ; four to six somewhat longer ; seventh but slightly wider, cylindric, as 

 long as wide ; eighth nearly }4, wider than the seventh, as long as wide, 

 rounded in nearly apical half ; ninth almost f^ wider than the eighth and dis- 

 tinctly wider than long ; tenth similar to the ninth in form but somewhat 

 larger ; eleventh large, thicker, as long as the preceding two, roughly sculp- 

 tured, gradually and very obliquely pointed ; eight to ten each with a whorl 

 of short, stout porrect setae beyond the middle. Froihorax small, strongly 

 conic with nearly straight sides, not quite as long as wide ; apex a little more 

 than 3^ as wide as the base, the latter scarcely more than }£ wider than the 

 head ; surface strongly biimpressed transversely near the base. Elytra large, 

 3^ longer than wide, nearly 2}4 times as long as the prothorax and very nearly 

 twice as wide, strongly arcuate at the sides and rapidly pointed behind, voidest 

 only slightly before the middle ; humeral plica long and strong, the subhumeral 

 impression large, very deep and conspicuous ; fovese deep ; subsutural im- 

 pressions long and rather vague, the basal bead of the elytra ill-defined and 

 thick. Abdomen with the basal segment large, overlapping the next, with its 

 hind margin broadly arcuate and fringed densely with long and close-set 

 submembranous scales. Legs well developed, the femora rather strongly 

 clavate, the anterior distinctly more so than the others. Length 1.6 mm.; 

 width 0.8 mm.
