XXXVI. Leptoschema Horn. 1885. (C4r., " slender + form. '" ) 



Differs from AfJwiis only in having the prosternal sutures 

 double. The antenna? are as long as head and thorax ; first joint of 

 hind tarsi much longer than second, the joints not lolied beneath. 

 Three species are listed from the United States, two of which have 

 been taken in Indiana. 



14i7 (4409). Leptoschema eicoloe Lee., Trans. Amer. Phil. Soc, X, 1S.53, 

 42S. 

 Elongate-oblong, broadest behind the middle. Above black or dark 

 reddish-brown, sparsely clothed with short, suberect, grayish-yellow pubes- 

 cence; beneath uniform pale reddish-brown. Clypeus of female obtusely 

 rounded in front, impressed above. Antennae with second and third joints 

 each nearly as long as fourth ; this and the following joints without promi- 

 nent angles in either sex. Thorax one-third longer than wide, strongly 

 convex, sides feebly rounded, disk finely, evenly and densely punctured; 

 hind angles slightly diverging, strongly carinate. Elytral strise fine, the 

 punctures small, close-set; intervals fiat, rather densely and roughly punc- 

 tulate. Length 8.5-12 mm. 



Putnam T'ounty; rare. August 12. A single female taken 

 from beneath the bark of a maple log. It is more robust, less shin- 

 ing and more densely punctured beneath than the single male type 

 in the Cambridge collection. 



144S (^4410). Leptoschema discalceattm Say. Trans. Amer. Phil. Soc. 

 VI, 3S.3C. 169; ibid. II, 604. 

 Elongate, rather slender. Reddish or pale chestnut-brown, very sparse- 

 ly clothed with fine yellowish pubescence; beneath pale, dull brownish-yel- 

 low. Clypeus prominent, subtruncate. Second and third joints of antennie 

 shorter than in bicolor, the outer joints broader, with the angles better de- 

 fined, thus causing them to appear more serrate. Thorax slightly longer 

 than broad, sides broadly rounded on apical half; disk more sparsely, 

 coarsely and unevenly punctured than in Mcolor; hind angles slightly di- 

 varicate, strongly and obliquely carinate. Elytra with sides parallel to 

 apical fourth, thence converging to a broadly rounded apex ; striae finely 

 punctate; intervals subconvex. sparsely punctulate. Length 11..5-13 mm. 



Laporte and Fulton counties: rare. .May 26- August 3. Taken 

 from beneath bark of dead tamarack and pine. 



XXX YII. Bladts Lee. 1861. 



Front not margined behind the labrum ; tarsi not lobed beneath ;
