meral impression small and faint but extending somewhat from* 

 the base ; inner fovea large ; suture not modified, the impressions 

 obsolete. Legs slender, the anterior femora somewhat strongly y. 

 the middle modei'ately and the posterior feebly, clavate. Length 

 1,25 mm.; width 0.6 mm. 



Austral regions of the Appalachian mountain system. This 

 species is very distinct from perforatus in its larger size, smaller 

 punctures and much shorter, coarser, more abundant and re- 

 curved fulvous pubescence of the elytra. It differs from badius 

 in it denser punctures and pubescence, more elongate and less 

 dilated elytra and longer prothorax. It is described above from< 

 the female. 



5. S. turbatus n. sp. — Eather stout and ventricose, polished, sparsely,. 

 unevenly and very feebly punctulate anteriorly, finely and closely but obviously 

 punctured on the elytra, blackish-piceous throughout, the legs and antennae 

 pale ; pubescence abundant, sparse and shorter anteriorly, dull cinereous, 

 moderate in length, recurved and conspicuous but rather fine on the elytra, the- 

 hairs becoming short tovpard the sut^l^e behind the middle. Head transverse, 

 the eyes rather large, moderately convex, nearly tvpice as long as the temporaj 

 vertex broadly flattened. Antennse about 3^ as long as the body, gradually 

 and moderately incrassate ; second joint distinctly shorter and very slightly 

 narrower than the first, oval, narrowed at base, % longer than wide, f^ longer 

 than the third and much thicker ; three to eight evenly and just visibly in- 

 creasing in width ; third J^, fourth and fifth scarcely %, longer than wide ;. 

 sixth subglobular, as long as wide ; seventh very slightly, the eighth more 

 obviously, wider than long ; eight to eleven increasing regularly but more 

 rapidly in width, without trace of club, distinctly and almost equally wider 

 than long ; eleventh about as long as the two preceding, ogival and slightly 

 oblique at tip. Prothorax not quite as long as wide, about }4 wider than the- 

 head, swollen and strongly rounded laterally in apical half, the sides rather 

 strongly convergent and broadly sinuate thence to the base ; surface confusedly 

 rugose for some distance from the basal margin throughout the width. Scutel- 

 lum distinct, triangular, rather longer than wide. Elytra evenly elliptical,, 

 nearly "% longer than wide, not quite three times as long as the prothorax and 

 almost twice as wide ; sides evenly arcuate ; humeri rather distinct at base ;. 

 subhumeral impression nearly obsolete ; inner fovea distinct, the outer obso- 

 lete. Legs slender, the femora feebly clavate, the anterior more strongly.. 

 Length 1.25 mm. ; width 0.62 mm. 



Pennsylvania (Westmoreland Co.). Mr. Schmitt. 



A distinct species, readily identifiable among the eastern 

 species of this genus by the male modification of the posterior 

 trochanters, these being acutel}- angulate and prominent at 

 apex though not much produced. The description is taken fronii
