basal third ; inner fovea small, pubescent and bearing a coarse 

 erect seta, its impression large and ovulate ; suture not modified. 

 Legs moderate in length, the femora all very feeblj^ clavate. 

 Length 1.0 mm.; width 0.63 mm. 



^New York (near the city). The single specimen was kindly 

 presented to me by the late Mr. Jiilich ; its sex is not apparent. 



2. C TJrginicum n. sp. — Oblong-oval, strongly convex, polished, im- 

 punctate, the elytra extremely minutely and sparsely punctulate ; hody blaok- 

 ish-piceous, slightly paler and rufescent anteriorly ; legs and antennse testa- 

 ceous ; pubescence sparse but pale, rather coarse and distinct, suberect and re- 

 curved on the elytra. Head triangular, nearly as long as wide, the eyes adja- 

 cent to the prothorax, moderately large, rather convex and coarsely faceted ; 

 antennal prominences large and rather distinct ; front prolonged and gradually 

 feebly declivous, transversely convex, strongly rounded at tip, the clypeus not 

 separated ; mandibles very stout, strongly arcuate, obliquely flattened 

 externally and closely surrounding the small semicircular labrum when 

 closed ; front slightly punctate at the sides. Antennas slender, gradually and 

 strongly clavate in the three outer joints, about }4 ^s long as the body, in 

 structure throughout almost exactly as in corporosum, except that the second 

 joint is about as long as the first, as well as equally thick. Prothorax %^ 

 wider than long, not more than twice as wide as the head ; apex broadly 

 arcuate, as wide as the base, the latter transverse and feebly bisinuate ; sides 

 parallel and just visibly arcuate ; basal angles right and having a very thick 

 short and elevated bead, not at all rounded ; disk even though broadly and 

 feebly impressed toward the basal angles, without trace of fovea. Scutellum 

 distinct but very transverse, more than twice as wide as long, parabolic. 

 Elytra xathQT longer than wide, twice as long as the prothorax, and, at basal 

 third, a little wider, the sides broadly arcuate ; apex gradually and evenly 

 parabolic from before the middle ; flanks adjoining the thoracic angles slightly 

 acute ; disk with a long even and nearly straight excavated line at each side 

 from the basal margin to basal third, slightly beyond outer third ; inner fovea 

 distinct, circular and spongiose but not setiferous, its impression rather 

 elongate ; suture not modified. Legs slender, moderate in length, the femora 

 all very feebly clavate. Length 1.0 mm. ; width 0.5 mm. 



Virginia (Norfolk). 



The metasternal plate, slightly prolonged between the hind coxae, 

 is deeply sinuate at the middle of its apex, the sinus almost ex- 

 actly equal in size and curvatui'e to the apices. The type and 

 only specimen known to me is possibly a male, as the sixth ventral 

 is finely punctulate and setulose abruptly in apical half, and the 

 entire surface of the fifth is similarly but more coarsely asperato- 

 punctate, the remainder of the abdominal surface being unmodi- 

 fied.
