strongly, sparsely punctate, finely, sparsely pubescent, with a strong inter- 

 ocular fovea ; Leak cylindrical, somewhat robust, feebly arcuate, fully as long 

 as the prothorax, the antennae inserted near apical two-fifths, the scrobes ex- 

 tending beyond apical third. Prothorax conical, but slightly wider than long, 

 the sides strongly convergent from base to apex and straight ; apex truncate, 

 barely three-fifths as wide as the base, the latter broadly, feebly cusped in the 

 middle ; disk with a large deep rounded impression in basal two-fifths, finely 

 but strongly punctulate, and with intermixed moderately large deep punc- 

 tures, the sculpture somewhat rugulose, a narrow median line more or less 

 impunctate. Elytra between two and three times as long as wide and about 

 three and one-half times as long as the prothorax, at the tumid humeri much 

 wider than the base of the latter, gradually, acutely ogival and rather nar- 

 rowly and deeply notched at apex ; sides nearly parallel and straight in basal 

 two-thirds ; disk with unimpressed rows of rather small widely distant punc- 

 tures. Abdomen somewhat sparsely clothed with much longer pubescence. 

 Legs moderate in length, rather sparsely clothed with short coarse hairs, the 

 femora long, feebly annulate at apical third. Length 11.0-11.2 mm. ; width 

 3.4 mm. 



New Jersey. Mr. W. Jiilich. 



The two specimens before me are apparently males, and in the 

 female the beak is probably much longer. This is a conspicuous 

 species, not at all closely allied to any other and recognizable at 

 once by its prominent and tumid humeri, conical, deeply impressed 

 prothorax and gradually, very acutely ogival elytral apex. 



26 JL. lllCUleiltllS n. sp. — Slender, elongate-elliptical, convex, strongly 

 shining, black throughout, the antennas, excepting the club, piceo-rufous ; 

 vestiture very short, squamiform, sparse, remotely and finely nucleated on 

 the elytra, finer but sparse on the anterior portions and but slightly denser 

 on the flanks of the prothorax. Head and beak finely, sparsely punctate, 

 broadly, transversely impressed between the eyes and with a small deep 

 rounded interocular fovea, also another, feebler and more elongate between 

 the points of antennal insertion ; beak cylindrical, feebly arcuate, rather 

 slender, shorter than the prothorax in botli sexes ; antennas inserted a little 

 beyond the middle. Prothorax conical, scarcely perceptibly shorter than wide, 

 the sides strongly convergent from base to apex and broadly, feebly, evenly 

 arcuate ; apex truncate, three-fifths as wide as the base, the latter broadly, 

 rather feebly cusped ; disk rather feebly, narrowly impressed in the middle 

 throughout the length, the impression becoming very deep near the base, 

 minutely, not very densely punctulate and also sparsely and more coarsely 

 punctate, the larger punctures comparatively fine. Elytra more than twice 

 as long as wide, about three times as long as the prothorax and just visibly 

 wider than the latter, rather abruptly but narrowly parabolic at apex and 

 with a small broadly angulate sutural notch ; sides parallel and straight, 

 becoming very feebly arcuate toward base ; disk with unimpressed rows of
