long, widest rather distinctly before the middle ; apex more than % ^^^ maxi- 

 mum width and % as wide as the base ; disk strongly convex, the fovese nor- 

 mal. Elytra well developed, though scarcely twice as wide as the prothorax, 

 only slightly shorter than wide, the suture nearly }.^ longer than the humeral 

 width ; sides moderately divergent, broadly arcuate posteriorly ; humeral 

 swelling quite moderate ; striae and basal foveas normal. Abdomen, from above, 

 as wide as the elytra and ^ as long, the first segment distinctly less than % ^s 

 long, nearly three times as wide as long, the carinse % as long as the segment, 

 straight, strongly divergent and enclosing }{ the entire width. Legs moder- 

 ately long, rather slender. Length 1.2 mm.; width 0.6 mm. 



Canada (Ottawa). Mr. W. H. Harrington. 



A small species, allied somewhat to demissa, but distinguished 

 not only by the sexual characters as indicated in the table, but by 

 the larger eyes, less transverse and less prominently rounded 

 sides of the prothorax and verj^ much more elongate elj^tra, with 

 less diverging sides. 



K. procera. — Convex, elongate and only feebly ventricose, highly pol- 

 ished, dark red-brown and subimpunctate throughout, the pronotum not dis- 

 tinctly punctulate at any part, the sutural regions of the elytra feebly and 

 subserially punctured ; pubescence rather short, coarse, moderately abundant 

 and strongly recurved. Head much narrower than the prothorax, with normal 

 fovese, the eyes quite moderate in size, prominent and situated at about their 

 own length from the base. Antennx but slightly longer than the head and pro- 

 thorax, the club very gradual in formation as usual ; second joint almost as large 

 as the first, ovo-cylindric, % longer than wide; three to eight equal in width 

 and much narrower, the third more obconic as usual ; third and fifth ^, 

 fourth, sixth and seventh subequal and about }4,, longer than wide ; eighth 

 about }£ wider than long ; ninth and tenth obtrapezoidal, nearly similar in 

 form but increasing, both obviously wider than long ; eleventh rather longer 

 than the three preceding, obliquely pointedin apical half. Prothorax about % 

 wider than long, obviously more than % as wide as the elytra, widest and 

 rounded at the sides before the middle but not very prominently ; apex fully 

 3^ of the maximum width and ^^ as wide as the base ; surface very convex, 

 the lateral fovese situated at basal third. Elytra short, nearly 3^ wider than 

 long, y^ longer than the prothorax, the suture but slightly longer than the hu- 

 meral width ; sides strongly divergent and broadly arcuate ; humeral swelling 

 rather feeble ; striae and foveae normal, the former deep, the sutural receding 

 more from the suture and more arcuate in apical half, the discal slightly everted 

 toward tip. Abdomen, from above, about as wide as the elytra and fully as 

 long, the basal segment ^ as long, 2}4, times as wide as long, the carinse very 

 fine, straight, just visibly divergent, less than }{ as long as the segment and 

 enclosing barely }^ of the entire width. Legs moderate in length, the femora 

 rather stout. Length L35 mm. ; width 0.55 mm.
