Punctures of the pronotal disk very fine or subobsolete ; body nar- 

 rower. 



Punctures of the pronotal flanks strong and unevenly distributed 

 over the entire surface 11 aerea 



Punctures of the flanks entirely obsolete, except in the subapical 

 constriction 12 punctata 



T. longa Lee. (Prc-c. Am. Phil. Soc, XV, p. 248) belongs to 

 Cryptorhynchus as at present organized, and has the eyes large 

 and approximate, as usual in that genus. I have before me one 

 or two species from Brazil, which are similarly elongate-cylindrical 

 in form and otherwise closely allied to longa. In these forms the 

 antennal funicle is short and 7-jointed, the outer joints very short, 

 gradually slightly thicker and coarctate ; they should perhaps form 

 a distinct genus.

Oblong-oval, strongly convex, black and dull throughout, gla- 

 brous but with small patches of small slender dense recumbent and 

 whitish scales, of which a small spot at the middle of the vertex 

 and another larger and more elongate between the eyes, a short line 

 at the apex of the pronotum and an obliquely arcuate series from 

 before the middle to near the sides of the base, numerous irregular 

 spots on the elytra and a broad uneven band at apical fourth, are 

 especially noticeable. Head and beak not very coarsely but rather 

 closely and distinctly punctate, with a feeble frontal puncture. Pro- 

 thorax scarcely as long as wide, strongly rounded at the sides, the 

 latter convergent and broadly sinuate toward the broadly arcuate 

 apex ; disk with extremely coarse, deep, uneven but rather close-set 

 fovese. Elytra between one-third and one-fourth wider than the 

 disk of the prothorax, the sides subparallel and nearly straight in 

 basal two-thirds, the humeri right but narrowly and obliquely sub- 

 truncate ; disk with unimpressed series of extremely large deep 

 uneven foveae, which become almost obliterated toward apex. 

 Length 3.7-5.8 mm. ; width 1.5-2.7 mm. 



The large series before me is from New Jersey, Pennsylvania and 

 Iowa ; it is also said to occur in Georgia. In well preserved speci- 

 mens each of the large foveae of the pronotum bears a short stiff 

 subclavate seta. The only remarkable variation is in the size of 

 the body.
