■basal joint slightly thicker and % longer than the second, dilated at apex and 

 grooved above ; second a little thicker and not longer than the third, % longer 

 than wide ; third rather more than %, fourth I3, fifth %, sixth J^, longer than 

 Tpide, equal in width and cylindric ; six to eight oblique at apex ; seventh and 

 eighth scarcely visibly wider, equal, slightly wider than long ; ninth as long 

 as the two preceding and % thicker, truncate, fully as long as wide ; tenth 

 equal in length but wider, slightly transverse, the eleventh still thicker, 

 gradually pointed, about as long as the two preceding. Protlwrax as long as 

 wide, nearly '% wider than the head, widest and evenly rounded laterally near 

 apical third, the sides becoming oblique and straight toward base ; disk very 

 convex, impunctate but becoming coarsely and rather densely punctate toward 

 base at each side of the middle, the two fovese at each side small. Elytra 

 finely, sparsely punctulate, fully }4, longer than wide, 2% times as long as the 

 prothorax and about % wider, together rather narrowly ogival toward apex, 

 widest just before the middle, the sides very evenly arcuate throughout, be- 

 coming nearly straight toward base, the humeri scarcely at all evident and but 

 slightly tumid above ; basal impression of each short and rather feeble; suture 

 not elevated toward base. Pygidium equilatero-triangular, the apex narrowly 

 rounded ; disk convex, sparsely punctulate toward base ; pubescence denser at 

 the apex. Legs long, the femora strongly but gradually clavate ; basal joint 

 of the hind tarsi % longer than the second. Length 2.25 mm. ; width 0.75 mm.

The abdomen is minutely and rather densely punctulate as us- 

 ual. In the single individual before me the sixth segment is about 

 as long as the first and the type is therefore a male ; the anterior 

 tarsi appear to be strongly dilated toward base. 



This species differs greatly from grossus\n general habitus, the 

 elytra being much longer, more pointed, rather less convex and 

 with much less evident humeri ; it also differs in its slightly 

 smaller and less transverse head and in numerous other details of 

 structure.

The female of this species, which has been described in detail 

 at the above reference, differs verj- much from the male in facies, 

 and in the outline of the head and prothorax. In the female the 

 head behind the antennse is about i wider than long, with the sides 

 subparallel and very feebly arcuate, while in the male it is only 

 slightly wider than long, with the sides convergent and circularly 

 arcuate to the neck. In the female the prothorax is broad, glo- 

 bularly convex, not longer than wide and much wider than the 

 head ; in the male much narrower and nearly cylindrical, only a 

 little wider than the head, distinctly longer than wide, ^ as wide as
