nearly one-fourth wider than the latter ; apex gradually parabolic in apical 

 third, with a small angulate sutural notch ; sides parallel and nearly 

 straight, arcuate and feebly convergent toward base, the humeri very 

 slightly tumid but not prominent ; disk with unimpressed series of rather 

 fine distant punctures. Abdomen somewhat evenly, moderately densely 

 clothed with longer cinereous hairs and thickly speckled with small sub- 

 denuded punctures, each of which bears a short robust seta. Legs moder- 

 ately pubescent, the femora annulate at apical third. Length 10.2 mm. ; 

 width 3.5 mm.

The unique type is a male and represents a species belonging 

 to the same group as fossus and luculentus. It differs greatly 

 however from either of these in its robust form, and, from fossus 

 in addition, by its shorter, sparser, much more squamiform and 

 inconspicuous vestiture, in the impunctate line and obsolete inter- 

 antennal fovea of the beak, and in its larger size; from luculentus 

 it differs also in the entirely basal impression of the pronotum.

Long Island ; Indiana ; Illinois. A rather common and well- 

 known species, distinguishable by its pale brownish-rufous colora- 

 tion, polished integuments, sparse, finely, distantly and feebly 

 mottled vestiture and large deep sutural notch at the apex of the 

 elytra, the apices appearing as if produced, and each more or less 

 broadly angulate. The differences alluded to by LeConte, in the 

 lustre and pubescence of the male and female, are not very pro- 

 nounced. The beak in the male is fully three-fourths as long as 

 the prothorax, and in the female just visibly shorter than the latter. 

 Length 9.3-11.8 mm.; width 3.0-3.5 mm. 



31 L,, sexualis n. sp. — Elongate-suboval, convex, strongly shining, 

 rather pale brownish-rufous in color, the anterior parts often blackish- 

 piceous ; vestiture short but not squamiform, very sparse, slightly denser 

 on the flanks of the pronotum and feebly and indefinitely mottled on the 

 elytra. Head and beak very finely, moderately densely punctured, the 

 latter more strongly and densely so than the former in the male but not 

 in the female ; beak feebly arcuate, cylindrical, short, stout and scarcely 

 three- fourths as long as the prothorax in the male, yery slender, one-half 

 longer, and distinctly longer than the prothorax in the female ; antennae in- 

 serted distinctly before the middle in both sexes. Prothorax very nearly as 

 long as wide, the truncate apex nearly three-fifths as wide as the base, the 

 latter broadly, obtusely and feebly cusped in the middle ; sides convergent 

 from base to apex, broadly, almost evenly arcuate, sometimes broadly, feebly
