minute, sparse elytral punctuation and rather long, unusually erect 

 and fulvous pubescence, the latter being quite conspicuous although 

 rather sparse on the elytra. The unique type is a female. 



36 H. tenellus n. sp. — Slender, subparallel, rather convex, dark rufo- 

 testaceous throughout, the abdomen becoming slightly piceous toward the 

 sides and apex; anterior parts rather dull, the elytra shining; pubescence 

 short, coarse, pale fulvous, moderately dense and distinct. Head rather 

 coarsely, very densely punctate and dull, the eyes rather large, separated by 

 about three-fourths their width ; antennae somewhat slender, two-fifths as long 

 as the body, the joints feebly obconical and about three-fourths longer than 

 wide, third slightly longer than the fourth. Prothorax one-half wider than 

 long, the apex broadly arcuate ; base transverse, the sinuations rather wide 

 and distinct, the median lobe rounded ; sides parallel and nearly straight in 

 basal half, then broadly rounded to the apex ; basal angles slightly obtuse 

 but scarcely at all rounded ; disk broadly, very feebly impressed in the middle 

 toward base, rather coarsely, deeply punctate, the punctures distinctly sepa- 

 rated toward the middle, rather finer and densely crowded toward the sides. 

 Elytra nearly three times as long as the prothorax, and, throughout, scarcely 

 perceptibly wider, the sides parallel and straight to apical third, the apex 

 ogival ; disk finely, rather sparsely punctured, with series of very fine incon- 

 spicuous punctures, the series rather distinctly impressed near the suture but 

 becoming almost completely unimpressed laterally. Under surface very finely, 

 sparsely punctured, the prosternum and propleurae finely, extremely densely 

 so but not dull. Length 4.8-5.0 mm. ; width 1.8 mm.

A small subparallel species, somewhat related to densus, but 

 differing greatly in form, structure of the antennae, coloration and 

 elytral punctuation. I have seen three specimens, which do not 

 display any variation sexual or otherwise. 



37 H. sobriniis n. sp. — Oblong-oval, convex, shining, black throughout 

 above and beneath ; legs black, the femora slightly rufescent toward base ; 

 antennae fuscous ; pubescence moderately long, not extremely dense and not 

 very conspicuous. Head between the eyes rather coarsely, deeply punctate, 

 the punctures slightly separated ; eyes moderate, separated by fully their own 

 width ; antennae rather slender, two-fifths as long as the body, the intermediate 

 joints very feebly obconical and nearly twice as long as wide, third and fourth 

 mutually similar, slender, cylindrical, the former slightly the longer. Protho- 

 rax short, fully four-fifths wider than long, the apex broadly, feebly arcuate, 

 two-thirds as wide as the base, the latter transverse, with the sinuations broad 

 and feeble but distinct; basal angles slightly obtuse but not distinctly blunt ; 

 sides parallel and feebly arcuate in basal half, then convergent and scarcely 

 more strongly arcuate to the apex ; disk rather strongly punctate, the punc- 

 tures all slightly separated, the interstices polished ; basal foveae very feeble. 

 Elytra rather more than three times as long as the prothorax and nearly one-
