﻿258 LE CONTE.—SYNOPSIS OF THE 



46. L. integra, cylindrico-oblonga, rufo-testacea, nitida, capite sat dense, clypeo fere parcius punctato, 

 rotundato, reflexo, thorace fortiter minus dense punctato, lateribus rotundatis, elytris rugosis fortius 

 punctatis subcostatis, pygidio parce punctato, ad apicem subtruncato, pectore parce villoso, unguiculis 

 dente parvo armatis. Long. -65. 



One male, Georgia. Body cylindrical oblong, almost uniform rufo-testaceous, 

 shining. Head strongly punctured, a little less densely on the clypeus, which is 

 rounded and strongly reflexed. Thorax about twice as wide as the head, rounded on 

 the sides, strongly but not densely punctured. Elytra coarsely and moderately 

 densely punctured, with the sutural costa narrow, and the others limited by indistinct 

 striae. Propygidium very finely and sparsely punctulate ; pygidium sparsely strongly 

 punctured, convex, triangular, subtruncate at tip. Breast thinly clothed with short 

 hair ; abdomen sparsely punctured at the sides. Ungues with a small tooth at the 

 middle, tibiae not hairy. 



The club of the antennae of the male is a little shorter than the stem ; the abdomen 

 is broadly impressed for its whole length; the last segment is slightly elevated in front 

 each side, and has behind at the middle some transverse elevated punctures : the 

 spurs of the posterior tibiae are slender, and the inner one is fixed and one half 

 shorter. 



Group XII. 



This group contains species having the upper surface hairy ; the antennae 10-jointed, 

 the clypeus distinctly margined, but slightly or not at all emarginate, and the last 

 ventral segment very short ; the sexual characters are very feebly marked ; there are 

 no differences in the tibiae, and but very slight ones in the abdomen and antennae. 



47- L. crenulata, fusca, confertim fere sequaliter punctata, thorace linea dorsali fere nulla, lateribus 

 fortius serratis, longe pubescente, elytris pube breviore dense vestitis pilis longioribus intermixtis, ob- 

 solete costatis, pectore longe villoso, unguiculis dente magno armatis. Long. '63 — 8.

Massachusetts, Georgia, Kansas : the specimens from the last mentioned locality are 

 smaller, but do not otherwise differ. The pygidium is densely punctured. 



48. L. al b i n a , fusca dense fere aequaliter punctata, dense albido-pubescens, thorace pilis longioribus inter- 

 mixtis, iinea dorsali scutelloque albioribus, pectore longius villoso, elytris costatis, unguiculis dente 

 magno armatis. Long. •!. 

 Ancylonyclia albina Burm. Lamell. 2, 2d, 328. 



One female found at Natchez, Mississippi ; Dr. Schaum. This species has nearly 

 the form of the preceding, but the sculpture is finer, and the pubescence is much more 

 dense ; on the elytra long hairs are intermixed only at the base and sides, while the 

 general pubescence of the thorax is similar to that of the elytra, with numerous long 

 erect hairs intermixed.
