feebly impressed. Legs rather slender ; femoral teeth large ; tibiae 

 bent toward base. Length 3.6-4.4 mm.; width 1.2-1.6 mm. 



This is a common species, easily recognizable by its narrow form, 

 the long blackish and somewhat abundant setae of the upper surface, 

 and the strong strial punctures. My specimens are from New 

 Jersey, Pennsylvania and Indiana. 



14 O. dichrous Lee— Proc. Am. Phil. Soc, XV, p. 191. 



Rather narrowly and feebly cuneate, less convex above than usual, 

 polished and ferruginous throughout, the elytra piceous black in 

 apical half to two-thirds ; erect setae completely wanting, the body 

 throughout with extremely sparse recumbent squamules, very slen- 

 der in form and white in color ; scutellum densely tomentose ; sternal 

 side-pieces not densely pubescent, the met-episternum with a nar- 

 row uneven line of squamules. Head finely, sparsely but distinctly 

 punctate, with a deep elongate-oval interocular fovea ; eyes mode- 

 rately large, strongly convex, coarsely faceted, separated by fully 

 one-half of their own width ; beak very short, thick, cylindrical, 

 feebly sculptured even toward the sides ; antennae nearly normal, 

 but with the club very indistinctly annulated, the scrobes passing 

 beneath at a great distance from the eyes. Prothorax distinctly 

 elongate, subcylindrical, feebly and gradually inflated to slightly 

 behind the middle, sparsely, distinctly but unevenly punctate. 

 Elytra behind the middle twice as wide as the prothorax and much 

 wider than at base, almost twice as long as wide ; humeri broadly 

 exposed ; striae feebly impressed, composed of coarse, deep, close-set 

 punctures. Legs long, with short sparse recumbent squamules, not 

 setose ; femoral teeth very minute, the posterior femora long and 

 sublinear; third tarsal joint very widely bilobed ; claws divaricate, 

 thick, strongly arcuate, gradually swollen internally toward base 

 but not in the least angulate. Length 4.1-4.7 mm.; width 1.4- 

 1.75 mm. 



Georgia and Florida. The large series in my cabinet seems to 

 indicate but little variability, except in the extent of the blackish 

 area of the elytra. This remarkable species is aberrant in its vesti- 

 ture and in the structure of the tarsal claws. 



15 O. cavirostrisn.sp. — Narrowly subcuneate, highly polished, strongly 

 convex, black, the legs, beak and antennae piceo-rufous ; body almost completely 

 glabrous, a few erect setae near the anterior margin of the prothorax, a long seta 

 near the scutellum and a few toward the elytral apex being all that are visible
