Inhab. U. S. I 



Body black, covered with short minute robust recurved hairs, puijctured j 

 antennae rufous, club dusky ; thorax a little convex each side, behind the mid- 

 dle of the side rectilinear, a little contracted before, with an indeated line 

 above, more profound, near the base ; with dilated, confluent, slightly impress-

Length from the origin of the rostrum nearly seven-twentieths of an inch. 



The hair detains a ferruginous powder. It is found on the lower Missouri. 

 It also occurs in the Atlantic states. With my first description of this species I 

 gave it the name of impressus, but in the Curcul. dispos. method. Schoenherr 

 quotes the sanie name for a very different and large species of S. America 

 from Sahlberg.
