Descri1)ed from eiglit specimens taken in Fountain, ilarion, 

 Vigo. Crawford and Posey counties. April 9-October 6. Taken 

 from beneath bark of oak. Those taken on Dotober 6 were in mud 

 or dirt cells beneath deeply buried logs on -ivnoilcd hillside in Vigo 

 County, and were just emerging as imagoes. Probably confused 

 with vcapcrtiita in most collections, but readily distinguished by the 

 carinate suture of elypeus and close, irregular punctuation of tho- 

 rax. The color in all specimens at hand is uniform and not vari- 

 able as in rcsperfina or the next.

Oblong, convex, smooth, shining. Dull brownish-yellow, sometimes 

 chestnut-brown or even black. Clyiieus longer than in rrapcrtina. the notch 

 smaller, one-half as deep ; surface finely and sparsely punctate ; front more 

 coarsely and sparsely punctate. Thorax more convex than in rcspcrtiiin. 

 sides feebly curved, surface finely and rather s|iarsely but evenly punctate. 

 Elytra moderately deeply sulcate. the grooves each with two or three irregu- 

 lar rows of rounded, more or less confiuent punctures; intervals subcon- 

 vex, sparsely punctured, the punctures as large as those of the grooves. 

 Length 7.5-9.5 mm. 



Lake, \'igo, Clarion, Lawrence and Jennincs counties; frequent. 

 April 12-June 26. Occurs beneath bark. Specimens just emerg- 

 ing as imagoes were taken in Vigo County on April 12 and in Lake
