E. latiiS.---Broad and convex, oblong-oval in form, gradually broader to 

 apical third of the elytra, blackish and subopaque, thereflexed lateral margins 

 paler by diaphaneity; elytra with small anastomosing paler spots; erect 

 bristles moderate in thickness and but feebly clavate. Head wider than long, 

 scarcely more than % as wide as the prothorax, widest at base, the eyes rather 

 large, minutely setose; surface scabrous; antennae short. Prothorax fully twice 

 as wide as long, widest near basal third or fourth, the sides strongly arcuate, 

 more convergent anteriorly, the apex deeply emarginate and with distinct lim- 

 iting angles, % as wide as the base, the latter transverse, broadly arcuate, 

 broadly sinuate near the sides; surface broadly explanato-reflexed toward the 

 sides, densely tuberculato-scabrous throughout. Scutellum small. Elytra less 

 than %" longer than wide, at base as wide as the prothorax, at apical third much 

 wider, broadly parabolic at apex; sides nearly straight in basal % ; humeri ob- 

 tuse but distinct and subangulate; lateral margins narrowly explanato-re- 

 flexed; surface convex, with series of moderately coarse punctures separated in 

 the series by single short longitudinal raised lines, each of which bears a small 

 slender hair at its pos erior end, the erect bristles borne from small subasperate 

 punctures extending in a single regular series along the middle of each inter- 

 val. Under surface scabrous and dull, with inconspicuous vestiture, the epi- 

 pleurse wide and concave, the abdomen flat with gradually diminishing seg- 

 ments to the fourth, the fifth as long as the first; sutures fine and perfectly 

 straight, the legs short. Length 3.4 mm. ; width 1.75 mm. 



Indiana ? 



A single specimen was included without locality label in the 

 Levette cabinet, and was probably taken in the region suggested. 

 This species is notably broader than marginalis, and is more rap- 

 idly broader behind. 



The clavate bristles in Eucicones are peculiar in structure ; they 

 are deeply strigose, and the median parts of the apex are pro- 

 longed and obtusely truncate. 



§OSYLUS Erichs. 



S. extensus n. sp. — Elongate, parallel, cylindric, dark rufo-piceous, the 

 elytra slightly paler ; surface feebly alutaceous in lustre, glabrous. Read 

 slightly wider than long, not quite as wide as the prothorax ; eyes large, con- 

 vex and prominent, at scarcely 3lj their length from the prothorax ; surface 

 moderately convex, finely, not very densely punctate ; antennae about as long 

 as the width across the eyes, the first joint swollen and subglobular, the second 

 elongate, slender and inserted at the side of the first, the club very stout and 

 abrupt, strongly compressed with the basal joint shorter than the second and 

 rather more than twice as wide as long. Prothorax distinctly longer than 

 wide, the sides straight and parallel in rather more than apical third, then 

 feebly convergent and straight to the base, which is nearly % as wide as the 

 apex, the latter transverse, becoming feebly arcuate toward the sides ; basal 

 angles not rounded, the base feebly emarginate ; disk finely, evenly and not
