the elytra and only slightly wider at apical f than at base. The 

 elytra are nearly similar in the sexes, and the femora are strongly 

 but gradually clavate ; the anterior tarsi become strong]}^ dilated 

 toward base in the male. Length 2.2 mm. ; width 0.75-0.8 mm. 



Arizona. This species was taken in great abundance by Mr. 

 Morrison, probably near the southern boundary of the Territory. 



4. Eu. foveatus n. sp. — Stout and convex, the body nearly as in grossus, 

 polished, subimpunctate, dark red-brown, the legs and antennae concolorous ; 

 elytra very slightly brighter rnfous ; pubescence abundant, longer, more con- 

 spicuous, erect and feebly recurved on the elytra. Head subquadrate, behind 

 the antennae only very slightly wider than long, the eyes moderate in size, 

 feebly convex, the tempora long, twice as long as the eyes and parallel and 

 very feebly arcuate for a long distance behind them, then broadly rounded to 

 the neck; upper surface smooth in the middle, very minutely and sparsely 

 punctulate laterally, with the pubescence directed transversely before and pos- 

 teriorly behind. Antennse rather slender, the basal joint cylindric, %^ longer 

 than the second and but slightly thicker, only slightly enlarged toward tip, 

 about twice as long as wide and deeply grooved above ; second ^ longer than 

 wide, as long as the third and but slightly wider; three to seven nearly equal 

 in width; third %, fourth %, fifth ^/£, sixth }^, longer than wide, the fifth 

 and sixth more obconic and very slightly thicker ; seventh as long as wide ; re- 

 mainder missing in the type. Prothorax fully as long as wide or rather longer, 

 not more than % wider than the head, widest and broadly rounded laterally 

 near apical third, the sides convergent and nearly straight to the base from be- 

 fore the middle ; disk very remotely and feebly punctulate toward base, with 

 two large and deep foveae at each side, the inner transversely oval and deepest 

 under its posterior margin, the outer circular. Elytra % longer than wide, 

 not much more than twice as long as the prothorax and nearly % wider, oval, 

 rather obtusely rounded behind, widest and more prominently rounded at the 

 sides well before the middle ; humeri distinct, tumid above, the basal im- 

 pression rather large and distinct ; subsutural impressions very long but feeble, 

 the suture not modified ; disk not distinctly punctulate. Pygidium very con- 

 vex, equilatero-triangular, the apex rather broadly obtuse ; disk not punctate 

 toward base, with shorter, coarser pubescence along the lateral margin near the 

 apex. Legs long, the femora gradually clavate ; hind tarsi with the basal joint 

 nearly 3^ longer than the second ; two to four exactly equal in length, the 

 fourth as long as the two preceding. Length 2.2 mm. ; width 0.78 mm. 



Tennessee. 



The sixth ventral in the unique type is as long as the first, and 

 the sex of the individual described is therefore probably male, but 

 the anterior tarsi are only slightly stouter toward base and not 

 dilated. 



As usual throughout, the scutellum is small, narrow, elongate, 

 tumid and rather deep-set, differing greatly from the evenly flat 

 form seen in other tribes.
