35 S. gifo"foirostris n. sp. — Stout and convex, oval, black, the legs except 

 near the base rufous ; elytra pale rufous, narrowly blackish along the suture ; 

 upper surface sparsely and unevenly clothed with yellowish scales and fine 

 slender squamules, the former dense at the sides of the pronotum toward base 

 and narrowly along the middle, and on the elytra in subtransverse uneven 

 spots and fasciae ; under surface moderately densely squamose. Head polished, 

 the constriction evident ; beak in the male moderately thick, very feebly, 

 evenly arcuate, dull, densely punctate, strongly gibbous before the constric- 

 tion, a little longer than the head and prothorax and about one-half as long 

 as the elytra ; antennae inserted at apical two-fifths, the second funicular joint 

 but slightly longer than the third. Prothorax moderately large, quite distinctly 

 wider than long, the sides subparallel, broadly, rather strongly arcuate, con- 

 vergent and broadly sinuate toward the apex, the latter three-fourths as wide 

 as the base; disk convex, dull, very densely punctate, the punctures small, 

 deep, lunate, the interspaces densely punctulate. Elytra at base not more 

 than one-third wider than the prothorax, two and one-half times as long, about 

 one-fourth longer than wide, just visibly wider behind the middle than at base, 

 the sides straight, broadly parabolic in apical two-fifths, the striae deep and 

 distinct. Length 1.9 mm. ; width 1.0 mm. 



Delaware. 



The single male represents a species allied somewhat to sculpti- 

 collis, but differing in its larger, more densely sculptured pronotum, 

 much shorter elytra, gibbous beak and different vestiture, the sides 

 of the pronotum being simply sparsely, finely squamulose, and the 

 third elytral interval conspicuously squamose at base in sculpti- 

 collis. 



36 S. squalidllS n. sp. — Stout, strongly convex, oval, black, the legs 

 dark rufo-piceous ; vestiture of the upper surface dense, consisting of rather 

 large imbricated scales, confusedly mottled whitish and piceous, the former 

 generally predominating ; scales of the under surface very small, rounded, 

 yellowish-white and extremely dense ; recurved setae sparse and slender. 

 Head feebly squamulose anteriorly, the constriction moderate ; beak in the 

 male thick, very feebly arcuate, rough, densely punctate, sparsely hispid and 

 dull almost throughout, much longer than the head and prothorax and one- 

 half as long as the elytra, with the antennae inserted at apical third, in the 

 female longer, more slender and arcuate, finely, rather densely punctate but 

 shining and nearly glabrous in apical half, nearly three-fourths as long as 

 the elytra, with the antennae inserted at the middle ; basal tufts not well 

 developed ; antennae rather slender, the second funicular joint three-fourths 

 as long as the first and equal to the next two in the female, very little shorter 

 in the male. Prothorax rather large and inflated, the sides strongly arcuate, 

 convergent and rather strongly constricted near the apex, the latter not more 

 than three-fifths as wide as the middle ; disk convex, rather coarsely, deeply, 

 extremely densely punctured, one-fourth wider than long. Elytra at base not 

 more than one-third wider than the prothorax, two and two-thirds times as
