Coleopterological Notices, III. 129 



immature specimen of this species, or at most a slight variety. 

 According to the description it is "brown, pubescent, densely punc- 

 tulate ; antennae, labrum, palpi and feet testaceous; thorax at base 

 each side of middle with a small and profound impression ; dorsal 

 impression obsolete ; scutel brown ; elytra densely rugulose ; toward 

 the suture with faint traces of the interstices; base broadly and in- 

 determinately testaceous ; beneath pale brown ; femora rather pale 

 testaceous." The punctuation of fraterna is sometimes strongly 

 rugulose, and, in regard to color, I have several specimens before me 

 of foveata, the normal color of which is black with pale humeri, 

 which have the elytra entirely pale from immaturity. 



M. megalops n. sp. — Oblong-elongate, subparallel, rather depressed, 

 polished, black, the under surface piceous-black ; legs and antennae slightly 

 paler, piceous-brown, the latter paler toward base; pubescence moderate in 

 length, dark, recumbent, sparse and inconspicuous. Head feebly, longitudi- 

 nally convex, rather finely, densely punctate anteriorly, very sparsely and 

 unevenly so between the eyes, the latter extremely large and convex, separated 

 by about three-fourths their own width ; antennae robust, a little more than 

 one-third as long as the body, apparently very feebly attenuate toward apex, 

 the intermediate joints scarcely one-half longer than wide, third and fourth 

 equal. Prothorax nearly four-fifths wider than long, the apex scarcely two- 

 thirds as wide as the base, feebly arcuate ; base transverse, the sinuations 

 very feeble, the angles slightly obtuse but not rounded ; sides broadly rounded 

 and convergent anteriorly, less arcuate toward base; disk widest at about 

 basal third, convex throughout, almost completely unimpressed, very finely 

 and sparsely punctate. Elytra distinctly more than three times as long as 

 the prothorax and equal in width to the disk of the latter, parallel, rather 

 abruptly and obtusely rounded behind ; disk somewhat strongly, asperately, 

 but rather sparsely punctate, without series but with the impressed lines dis- 

 tinct except toward the sides, with a vague appearance of punctured series 

 near the suture. Under surface finely, sparsely punctate throughout. Legs 

 normal. Length 4.0 mm. ; width 1.5 mm. 



Indiana? Cab. Levette. 



The single specimen is a male, and is remarkable in having eyes 

 which are not only exceptionally large for the present genus, but in 

 proportion to the size of the body, fully as large as in any other 

 species of the family which I have seen. The elytra have, each, a 

 large oblique basal spot of a reddish-yellow tint, as usual in this 

 section of the genus. At first sight it resembles Hymenorus 

 humeralis, but the tarsi are perfectly simple, the eyes large, the 

 pubescence dark, more recumbent and sparser, and the elytra are 

 devoid of distinct punctured series.
