This species is allied closely to corporoaum, but differs in its 

 narrower form, darker color and still sparser vestiture, more elong- 

 ate head, thickened hind angles and obliterated foveiform impres- 

 sions of the pronotum, shorter and more angulate scutellum, longer 

 sublateral excavated line of the elytra and other characters, among 

 which may be noted the form of the sinus at the apex of the meta- 

 sternal intercoxal prolongation, which is here shallower and more 

 broadly rounded, the apices being narrower and more strongly, 

 rounded. 



In corporosum the singular rugose and pubescent rounded de- 

 pression near the sides of the metasternum, at its anterior margin,. 

 is quite small, extending through less than |- of the metasternal 

 length, while in virginicum it is much larger, extending fully ta 

 the middle.

Narrowly oblong-oval, parallel, moderately convex, shining, im- 

 punctate, pale luteo-testaceous throughout, the legs and antennae- 

 concolorous ; vestiture moderately distinct, the hairs very short,^ 

 closely recurved and mingled with others which are sparse and 

 more erect, especially toward the tips of the elytra. Head parallel 

 and nearly straight at the sides in basal half, the eyes wholly want- 

 ing, narrowed anteriorly, the antennse inserted near the middle, the 

 prominences very feeble ; front moderatelyprolonged, declivous and 

 evenly convex, the margin evenly rounded ; mandibles small and 

 only moderately stout. Antennse about as long as the head and 

 prothorax, slender, the 3-jointed club stout and very incrassate ; 

 second joint a little shorter than the first but nearly as stout, nar- 

 rowed at base, f longer than wide, shorter than the next two and 

 much stouter; three Lo six equal, rounded, submoniliform and 

 about as long as wide ; seventh much larger, nearly ^ wider, oval^ 

 more than ^ wider than long ; eighth a little smaller than the 

 seventh but perfectly similar in form, rather darker in color than 

 the joints preceding or following ; ninth to eleventh very rapidly 

 and evenly increasing in width, the ninth and tenth transversely 

 oval, the eleventh ovoidal, gradually pointed, nearly ^ wider than 

 the tenth and longer than the two preceding. Frothorax ^ wider 

 than long, more than twice as wide as the head, slightly swollen 

 anteriorly and widest near apical third, the sides broadly rounded, 

 becoming slightly convergent and feebly sinuate toward base;
