KEY TO INDIANA GENEEA OF ENDOMYCHIN/E. 



a. liigula oblong, rounded at tip ; thorax black, elytra red, each with two 

 black spots. V. Endomychus. 



aa. Ligula transverse, emarginate or truncate; color not as above.

 so ; thorax and elytra nearly uniform piceous black above.

 &6. Prosternum prolonged behind, partly covering the mesosternum ; front 

 coxoe separated. 

 c. Prosternum narrow between the coxae; elytra in our species with 

 lengthwise stripes. YII. Aphobista. 



CO. Presternum wide, margined; elytra without stripes, either uni- 

 eolorous or with spots. 

 d. Thorax without an impressed submarginal line ; body glabrous.

y. Endomychus Panz. 1795, (Gr.. "within -)- nook or comer. ") 



Antennaa elongate, with a loose, not large club ; sides of thorax 

 feebly sinuate, strongly but narrowly margined; longitudinal basal
