tra, hind angles rectangular ; basal impressions distinct, rather broad, finely 

 and sparsely "punctured. Elytral striae very fine ; intervals flat, minutely 

 alutaceous. Length 12-15 mm.

346 (1108). Habpalus vidutjs Lee., Proc. Phil. Acad. Nat. Sci., 1865, 103. 



Oblong-oval. Black or piceous, shining; anteunte and tarsi dark red- 

 dish-brown. Resembles laticeps, but the head is not quite so broad, the 

 hind angles of thorax are more rounded and the basal impressions more 

 narrow and deeper. Length 13 mm. 



Known from Indiana by two specimens taken in Vigo and Parke 

 counties. May 13-May 24. Described from Rock Island, Illinois. 



H. gravis Lee, 9 mm. in length, was described from Texas and 

 has been recorded by Dury from Cincinnati. 



LXVIII. Selenophobus Dej. 1826. (Gr., "moon or light -t- bear- 

 ing.") 



Small oblong or oval, black or piceous beetles, closely resembling 

 the smaller forms of Harpahis but differing by having three rows 

 of dorsal punctures, situated on the second, fifth and seventh elytral 

 striffi. The males have the front and middle tarsi moderately di- 

 lated, with two rows of scale-like papilliE on the first four joints. 

 They occur, for the most part, in sandy or dry localities. Four 

 species have been taken in Indiana, while one other perhaps occurs. 

 The literature treating of the genus is as follows : 



Horn. — "Critical Notes on the Species of Selenophorus of the 

 United States," in Proc. Amer. Phil. Soc, XIX, 1880, 178.
