3457 (44"7). Coeymbites divakicatus Lee, Trans. Amer. Phil. Soc, X, 

 1853, 446. 



Oblong, roluTst. Dull sooty-brown or piceous, sparsely and finely pubes- 

 cent. Third joint of antennis slightly longer than fourth, much longer than 

 second. Thorax of male subquadrate, feebly convex, sides nearly straight, 

 disli coarsely and densely punctate, hind angles strongly diverging; that 

 of female wider than long, strongly convex, sides broadly rounded, a deep 

 impression each side along front margin. Elytral stri.-e feebly impressed 

 with rather coarse punctures; intervals of male flat, densely and roughly 

 punctulate; of female subconvex, finely and sparsely punctulate. Length 

 9-12 mm. 



Crawford County; scarce. Jnne 25-June 28. Beaten from 

 fi)liao-e of oak. The so-called female is very different in appear- 

 ance from the male. In addition to the distinctions above given, 

 the body is much more robust, dark shining chestnut-brown in color 

 and much less pubescent. It was described as C. ciri.'^.'ius Lee. and 

 may yet prove to be a distinct species. The mere fact that two 

 beetles widely different in appearance are sometimes found in com- 

 pany, or even rarely in coiUi, does not furnish absolute proof of 

 their identity.

 Elongate, broad, subdepressed. Black, shining, finely and very sparsely

 feebly rounded ; disk finely and sparsely punctate on middle, more densely 

 on sides, with a faint median impressed line; hind angles slightly diverging, 

 distinctly carinate. Elytra with sides parallel to apical third, thence strongly 

 converging to apex ; strias finely and closely punctate ; intervals subconvex. 

 sparsely and rather coarsely and roughly punctulate. Length 15-23 mm. 



Throughout the State, fre(|uent; more so in the southern coun- 

 ties. ]\ray 10-June 26. Occurs usually beneath stones and rubbish 

 on high, dry hills; also on Virginia creeper, Parthcnocissiis quiiiquc- 

 folia Michx. Our largest species of the genus.
