preceding but only }4 "wider, cylindric, rather longer than wide ; tenth a 

 little wider and longer, oval, narrowed at base, rather longer than wide ; 

 eleventh scarcelj^ wider than the tenth, long, slender, obliquely and very gradu- 

 ally pointed, as long as the two preceding. Frothorax a little longer than wide, 

 less than ^5 wider than the head, widest and broadly rounded at basal %, the 

 sides thence gradually convergent and broadly arcuate to the apex and base ; 

 apex scarcely % as wide as the base ; disk evenly and strongly convex, 

 minutely, feebly rugulose near the basal margin but not punctate, feebly 

 tumid in the middle near the base, and having at each side a large but feeble and 

 somewhat indefinite fovea. Elytra scarcely more than % longer than wide, 

 fully twice as long and twice as wide as the prothorax, very obtusely para- 

 bolic at apex, widest a little behind the middle, the sides broadly rounded, 

 obliquely converging to the feebly marked humeri ; basal impression obsolete, 

 the suture not elevated. Pygidium equilatero-triangular, convex, impunctate 

 but minutely reticulate toward base, sparsely pubescent. Legs long, the 

 femora strongly and abruptly clavate ; tarsi with the basal joint slightly elon- 

 gate and with a brush of longer hairs beneath, the anterior not dilated. 

 Length 2.1 mm. ; width 0.8 mm. 



Yirginia ( Jones Creek, Lee Co.). Mr. Schwarz. 



Very readily distinguishable by the rather long and narrow pro- 

 thorax, widest behind the middle, somewhat slender and very 

 feebly incrassate antennal club and other structural features. The 

 tj'^pe described is a female, the sixth ventral segment being short; 

 the anterior tarsi are slender and only just visibly thicker toward 

 base. 



9. Ell. oclil'eatiis n. sp. — Stout and rather strongly ventricose, polished, 

 impunctate, pale flavo-testaceous throughout, the legs and antennae concolor- 

 ous ; pubescence sparse, long, erect and bristling on the elytra. Head behind 

 the antennae fully }^ wider than long, the eyes well developed but not promi- 

 nent; tempora long, distinctly convergent and broadly arcuate to the truncate 

 base; upper surface strongly convex posteriorly, finely and indefinitely punc- 

 tulate, the pubescence stiff; frontal prolongation scabrous toward tip. Antenns; 

 more than }^ as long as the body, the club rather abruptly thicker but only 

 slightly incrassate; basal joint more than twice as long as wide, much longer 

 and thicker than the next two; second to fourth subequal, about % longer 

 than wide ; fifth nearly J^ longer than wide ; six to eight shorter, oblique, with 

 their inner apical margins emarginate; sixth as long as wide; seventh slightly, 

 the eighth distinctly, shorter than wide; ninth not quite as long as the two 

 preceding and less than }'2 thicker, rather longer than wide ; tenth a little 

 thicker and somewhat elongate ; eleventh long, gradually and obliquely pointed, 

 not distinctly thicker, about as long as the two preceding. Prothorax barely as 

 long as wide, scarcely % wider than the head, the sides parallel and broadly, 

 evenly arcuate, widest at about the middle; apex but slightly narrower than 

 the base, truncate; disk finely scabrous near the basal margin, bifoveateat each 

 side of the middle, the inner fovea large but very feeble and indefinite, the
