Goleopterological Notices, VII. 589 



Abdominal earinfe much more approximate, separated at tip by about )g of 

 the entire width or less; body larger; antennae moderate throughout 13 



13 — Last ventral of the male large, broadly concave toward tip; eyes larger, 



situated at much less than their own length from the base. 



Terminal dorsal of the male very broadly truncate at tip, the truncature 



feebly sinuate toward the middle, its surface strongly punctate ; abdominal 



carinse distinct, nearly straight, separated at tip by scarcely more than a 



seventh of the entire width iiisolita n. sp. 



Terminal dorsal with the apex broadly rounded, scarcely more than % as 

 wide as the base, broadly rounded at the sides, broadly and very moder- 

 ately sinuate at tip, the surface feebly and sparsely punctulate; abdominal 

 carinse 3^ as long as the segment, distinct, evenly arcuate and divergent 

 and separated at tip by fully }q the total width sodalis n. sp. 



Last ventral of the male moderately large, simply flattened, occasionally with 

 the plane slightly ascending toward tip; terminal dorsal with a broad and 

 decidedly deep sinus nearly in the form of a circular arc with more or 

 less narrowly rounded limiting angles; eyes smaller, at their own length 

 from the base or nearly so. 

 Abdominal carinse nearly 3^ as long as the segment, distinct, strongly divert 

 gent and straight. 

 Prothorax rather large, more than }4 ^s wide as the elytra. 



t'usciventris n, sp. 

 Prothorax moderate in size though unusually elongate, 3^ as wide as the 



elytra and much more distinctly punctulate peregrinator n. sp. 



Abdominal carinse extremely short, fine and indistinct, straight and sepa- 

 rated by j'Q of the entire width; prothorax shorter and more trans- 

 verse furtivaCsy. 



14 — Intermediate tibise of the male normal 15 



Intermediate tibise of the male strongly bent in arc in aboiit basal % of their 

 length, the arcuate part clothed externally with long erect hairs 19 



15 — Pronotum strongly and closely punctured, especially toward the central 

 parts of the disk ; abdominal carinse short but distinct, straight and 

 parallel ; body black with rufous elytra, legs and antennse. 



puncticollis Lee. 



Pronotum not conspicuously punctured though occasionally quite perceptibly 

 punctulate 16 



16 — Body black or piceous-black with bright red elytra, the hind body 

 strongly inflated, the elytra always fully twice as wide as the prothorax ; 

 abdominal carinse feebly divergent ; last ventral of the male broadly con- 

 cave 17 



Body pale in color throughout, sometimes uniformly but occasionally with the 

 elytra still a little paler or more flavate 18 



I'S' — Last dorsal of the male having at apex a very broad, circularly rounded 

 sinus, which is 3'^ as wide as the base corporalis n. sp. 



Last dorsal of the male with a much narrower and very feebly sinuate apical 

 truncature ; body much smaller borealis n. sp.
