LicJienophanes mutchleri Belkin, 1940, Ent. News 51: 192 (new name for angus- 

 tatus Casey (1898) not Steinheil (1872)).

 antennae, and tarsi brownish yellow; dorsal surface of body rather 

 unevenly clothed with moderately long, recumbent, yellowish hairs, 

 which form more or less distinct pubescent spots. 



Head much narrower than pronotum, densely, finely granulose, with 

 numerous small, round tubercles intermixed ; clypeus pubescent, flat ; 

 clypeal suture distinct; labrum densely ciliate with long, yellowish 

 hairs in front. Antenna 9-segmented ; third segment slightly elongate, 

 fourth to sixth transversely oval. 



Pronotum quadrate, strongly convex, widest near middle, strongly 

 deflexed on apical half, truncate in front, without unciform processes 

 in front or depressions in front of scutellum, but sometimes slightly 

 gibbose on each side at middle of disk ; sides broadly rounded, more 

 strongly converging anteriorly ; posterior angles rectangular ; surface 

 with a narrow, longitudinal, median carina on basal half, coarsely, 

 rather densely, irregularly tuberculose. 



Elytra at base slightly wider than pronotum at middle, truncate 

 at base, without longitudinal costae ; sides parallel, broadly conjointly 

 rounded at apices; surface coarsely, deeply, densely punctate, finely, 

 densely granulose and vaguely tuberculose between punctures.

Type locality. — Woodbury, N. J. ; type in the Casey Collection in

Casey (1898) described his Bostrichus angustus from a single ex- 

 ample. However, Steinheil (1872) had previously described a species 

 from South America under the same name, and Belkin (1940) pro- 

 posed mutchleri for angustus Casey (not angustus Steinheil).
