52 CLASSIFICATION OF THE SUBFAMILY CRYPHALINA. 
rows, interspaces equally punctured, causing the appearance of confused punctures, 
declivity steep, somewhat flattened, interspace 1 faintly elevated, 2 flat, faintly 
impressed, each with faint row of granules, strie 1 and 2 distinctly punctured. 
Cranesville, W. Va., in Picea sp., May 10, 1897; author, collector; Hopk. W. Va. No. 
7272b. Type, Cat. No. 7627, U. 8. National Museum. 
Male.—Front convex, with posterior median shining space and with a few long 
hairs toward the sides; declivity slightly more impressed, with interspacial granules 
coarser. A large series of specimens show considerable variation in size and char- 
acter of elytral punctures. The range in length is from 2.3 to 2.75 mm. The distri- _ 
bution is from North Carolina to Canada and westward to Michigan. é 
Notre.—tThis species is closely allied to D. affaber, distinguished only by its smaller 
size and distribution. In D. affaber there is a greater range of variation, both in size ~ 
and sculptural characters. The western distribution, from New Mexico to Alaska, 
together with the variations indicate two or three species, but the lack of constant 
distinctive characters seems to warrant including them under one name. D. affaber 
ranges in length from 2.45 to 3.25 mm. The average exceeds 2.75 mm. 
Dryocoetes abietis, new species. 
Length, female type, 3.65 mm.; body oblong, elliptical, dark reddish brown, clothed 
with long, erect, reddish hairs, short and sparse toward base of elytraand posterior dorsal 
area of pronotum; pronotal rugosities moderately coarse, irregular, becoming finer 
to the base; front densely clothed with fine, velvety, reddish pubescence, longer 
and erect on margins; elytral strize with fine shallow punctures, small and in distinct 
rows, interspacial punctures somewhat finer, irregular and in approximate rows, de- 
clivity subconvex, interspace 1 elevated, 2 faintly impressed, and 3 faintly elevated, 
all with rows of granules. Lake McDonald, Mont., in Ahies sp., November 9, 1910; 
Josef Brunner, collector; Hopk. U.S. No. 8558. Type, Cat. No. 7628, U.S. National 
Museum. 
Male.—Front broad, flat, faintly rugose, with median shining space, the margins 
with rather long, sparsely placed hairs; declivity with interspace 1 more distinctly 
elevated, and 2 more distinctly impressed; interspacial granules coarser, pubescence 
longer. The species ranges in length from 3.25 to 4 mm. 
Genus DRYOCOETOIDES, new genus. 
Antennal funicle 5-jointed, joint 5 broad; club with one subapical 
suture on posterior face and two strongly recurved sutures on anterior 
face; anterior margin of pronotum with apical teeth ; eyes moderately 
large, elliptical, deeply emarginate. Type of genus, Dryocoetoides 
guatemalensis, new species. i

(Pl TIL, tie: 362) 
Length, female type, 2.6 mm.; body stout, uniform dark reddish brown; pronotum 
declivous, with sides parallel, posterior angles acute, apical margin faintly produced 
and armed with four small teeth, rugosities fine, confused, becoming finer posteriorly 
and laterally, posterior dorsal area shining, finely punctured, lateral area opaque, 
finely punctured; front broad, subconvex, with faint median impression, shallow
