thickening from the seventh joint inclusive : clypeus rather full : 

 elytra striate and punctured but rather indistinctly : feet reddish. 



" Length three tenths of an inch. 



" Referable to the genus Eucnemis according to Mannerheim, though 

 not according to the strict limitation of that genus by Latreille. 

 For my specimen I am indebted to Dr. Samuel Foster, who ob- 

 tained it at Greenfield, Mass." 



Nematodes simplex Lee. (Proc. Ac. Nat. Sci. Phil., Dec. 1866 , 

 p. 388.) " Fusco ferrugineus, elongatus, minus subtiliter helvo- 

 pubescens, capite confertim punctato, antice valde convexo, thorace 

 latitudine fere longiore, antrorsum subangustato, lateribus rectis, 

 confertim punctato, postice vage subcanaliculato ; elytris ab humeris 

 subangustatis, striatis, interstitiis confertim punctatis; subtus puncta- 

 tus, propectore hand sulcato, tarsorum articulo 4to simplici; anten- 

 nis articulis 3-10 aequalibus. Long. 7.5 mm." 



"One specimen from New York in the collection of Mr. Ulke. 

 Resembles in appearance Agriotes oblongicollis. This species differs 

 from those previously described by the entire absence of vague 

 grooves for the reception of part of the antennae, and by the fourth 

 joint of the tarsi not being dilated or lobed. The first joint of the 

 hind tarsi is as long as the three following."

"E. corpore nigro, elongate ; antennis serratis; thorace subtilissime punctulato 

 longitudine dimidio latitudinem excedente, bas-i rctrinque impressa, marginibus 

 prope parallelis, angulis posticis obtusis. Elytris striatis, subtillissime punctu-

. " Body black, elongated: antennae serrate: thorax almost imper- 

 ceptibly punctured, length one half greater than the breadth; mid- 

 dle with no furrow ; base with an impression on each side ; margins 

 nearly parallel ; posterior angles moderately elongated, obtuse at the 

 extremity : elytra striate, punctures of the striae almost impercepti- 

 ble, as well as the rugosity of the intermediate spaces : feet light 

 piceous. 

 " Length little more than three tenths of an inch. 

 " Occurred in June on the Saddleback Mountains." 

 The fine punctured thorax is indicative of the genus Cardiophorus, 

 but the long thorax with sides nearly parallel makes this reference 

 exceedingly doubtful. The serrate antennae may apply to almost
