the elytral apex. Head smooth, vaguely sculptured, polished ; "beak three- 

 fourths as long as the prothorax, opaque, finely but deeply, rugosely and 

 very densely sculptured. Prothorax conical, a little longer than wide, con- 

 stricted behind the apex, the apical tubulation feebly inflated, receiving the 

 head ; apex three-fourths as wide as the base ; punctures moderately coarse, 

 deep, rounded but subcontiguous, without median line. Elytra slightly wider 

 behind the middle than at base, nearly two-thirds wider than the prothorax 

 and more than twice as long ; sides feebly arcuate, abruptly convergent and 

 sinuate near the apex ; humeri broadly exposed but rather obtuse ; disk with 

 unimpressed series of moderately large deep oblong and almost contiguous 

 punctures ; intervals flat, a little wider than the serial punctures, feebly 

 rugose but shining. Under surface densely deeply and rather coarsely punc- 

 tate. Length 1.75 mm. ; width 0.6 mm.

A single specimen without more precise indication of locality. 



ALLOMmCJS Lee. 



In this genus the beak is rather thin or but moderately stout, 

 nearly straight, parallel, not conspicuously separated from the 

 front, the eyes moderate in size, rather convex, not very finely 

 faceted and situated at the sides of the head, the antennal scrobes 

 deep, sublinear, directed feebly downward to the lower limit of the 

 eye, the funicle 7-jointed, with the basal joint larger, the second 

 obconical and distinctly longer than the third. Our two species 

 differ greatly in structure and should perhaps be assigned to sepa- 

 rate subgenera ; they may be defined as follows : — 



Beak thinner, a little more than one-half as long as the prothorax ; anterior 

 coxae larger, separated by their own width ; elytra deeply striate, the 

 sulci coarsely punctate, the sutural sulcus much less distinctly so. 



dtiMus Horn 



Beak shorter and stouter, scarcely one-half as long as the prothorax ; pronotal 

 punctures smaller and closer ; elytra feebly sulcate and much less coarsely 

 punctate, the punctures of the sutural stria as distinct as the others ; an- 

 terior coxse much smaller and more remote, separated by nearly twice 

 their own width. Head polished, almost impunctate, separated from the 

 beak by a feeble transverse impression, the beak throughout coarsely 

 deeply and subrugosely punctate. Prothorax about as long as wide, 

 subcorneal, feebly depressed above, slightly constricted behind the apex, 

 the latter barely two-thirds as wide as the base. Scutellum distinct. 

 Elytra a little wider than the prothorax and about twice as long, par- 

 allel, the sides convergent and nearly, straight in apical third, the apex 

 narrowly rounded. Abdomen deeply but not very densely and somewhat 

 unevenly punctate. Length 1.9 mm. ; width 0.65 mm. Texas (Columbus
