THE ANT-LOVING BEETLES. 



Starke County; rare. May 18-June 17. Sifted from vege- 

 table debris on margin of sphagnum swamp. 



609 (1930). Reichenbachia radians Lee, Trans. Amer. Ent. Soc, VIII, 

 1S80, 182. 



Uniform light chestnut brown; antennae and legs paler. Head as wide 

 as long ; the foveas small but deep. Antennae longer than head and thorax, 

 the joints nearly as in gemmifer, the eighth and ninth smaller than there. 

 Thorax subglobose, smooth, the foveas on sides one-third larger than those 

 of head, the median one much smaller. Elytra at base one-third wider 

 than thorax, finely, sparsely and somewhat roughly punctate. Carinae of 

 first dorsal reaching nearly to middle of segment. Length 1.5 mm. 



One specimen in Webster collection labeled "Ind.," LeConte's 

 type, came from Illinois and his description is so brief that I am not 

 certain as to the identity of the specimen at hand. However, it 

 runs to radians both in his key and in that of Brendel. 



R. cribrieollis Brend., piceous-black, elytra dark red, length 1.3 

 mm., is known from Illinois and Iowa. E. congener Brend. (Fig. 

 150, c. f, reddish-brown, length .9 mm., is an eastern species which is 

 recorded from Cincinnati. 



010 (1932). Reichenbachia eubeicunda Aube, Ann. Soc. Ent, II, 116. 



Piceous-black, not punctured ; elytra, legs and antennae dull red. Head 

 wider than long; foveae large, equal. Antennae not half as long as body, 

 second joint oblong ; third to seventh equal, cylindrical ; eighth globular ; 

 ninth as long and twice as wide as third ; tenth subglobular, one-half thicker 

 than ninth; eleventh one-half wider than tenth and longer than the two 

 preceding. Thorax one-third wider than long; foveae on sides very large, 

 median one small and deep. Elytra at base as wide as thorax at middle, 

 humeri prominent; dlscal lines reaching apical third. Length 1.3-1.5 mm. 



Throughout the State; common. April 17-June 13. Occurs be- 

 neath cover in damp localities. 



611 (1935). Reichenbachia gracilis Casey, Contrib. Desc. Coleop. N. A., 

 I, 1884, 32. 



Dark piceous-red ; pubescence long, suberect and pale; elytra dull red; 

 antennae and legs paler. Head longer than wide; foveae deep and equal. 

 Antennae longer than head and thorax, first three joints gradually decreas- 

 ing in size ; fourth to eighth equal, slender, subcylindrical ; ninth subglobose, 

 thicker; tenth nearly twice as wide as long; eleventh compressed, as long 

 as the three preceding together. Thorax wider than long, strongly con- 

 vex, polished, foveas on sides large, median one minute. Elytra very con- 

 vex, discal lines sharp, nearly entire. Length 1.4 mm. (Fig. 150. 1).)
