Anthonomus eversus sp. nov. 

 PI. XIII., Fig. 6. 



A number of perfect or nearly perfect elytra, with ten punctate striae 

 at subequal distances apart, the outer and the inner three uniting near 

 the apex, and within them the fourth uniting or almost uniting with the 

 fifth, and the sixth with the seventh, a little outside the middle line of 

 the elytron and near the middle of its apical two fifths. The striae are 

 well impressed and the puncta circular and closely approximated, while 

 the interspaces between the striae are convex. The species seems to be 

 very "close' to A. ater LeC; the apical arrangement of the striae is the same, 

 but it is a little smaller, the punctuation is a little more pronounced and 

 distinct, and the striae are deeper ; the difference is not great, but seems 

 to be suflBcient to distinguish them specifically. The puncta are too feebly 

 drawn in the figure and are not so closely approximated as they should 

 be. Length of elytron S'S"^ ; breadth l-S"". 



Ten specimens: Nos. 16852-168S8, 16860, 16869, Reservoir Park, 

 Toronto; and No. 16859, Logan's brickyard, Toronto. 



A. ater occurs in California. 



Anthonomus fossilis sp. nov. 

 PI. XIII., Fig. 7. 



Other elytra, some of them quite perfect, smaller than the last species, 

 have a very similar arrangement of the striae, but they are more crowded 

 together on the outer half or third of the elytron and do not unite so dis 

 tinctly at apex ; the striae are deeply impressed and the puncta coarse — 

 unusually so for an Anthonomus. The species appears to resemble A. 

 nigrinus Boh., but not very closely ; the elytron is considerably larger 

 and perhaps broader ; the apical arrangement of the striae is much the 

 same, but the striae are considerably more deeply impressed, and the 

 puncta are much larger, deeper and coarser. Length, 2'4°™ ; breadth 

 1-1 5"°". 



Ten specimens : Nos. 16844, 16845, 16862-16864, 16868, Reservoir 

 Park, Toronto; Nos. 16846, 16847, Scarborough; and Nos. 16848 

 16849, Logan's brickyard, Toronto. 



A. nigrinus is reported from Georgia and Louisiana.
