Oblong-oval, convex. Dull brownish-yellow to pieeous, opaque; surface 

 with prostrate gray and brown pubescence and sparse erect hairs; antennae 

 reddish or brownish-yellow, the outer five joints darker. Thorax quadrate, 

 very little wider than long, sides nearly straight ; disk convex, coarsely and 

 closely punctate and with two feeble elevations slightly in front of middle. 

 Elytra wider at base than thorax; disk with a faint oblique impression 

 from humerus to suture near middle, ending in a shallow black fovea on 

 first and second striae; punctures coarse, close-set and deep, arranged in 

 regular rows ; intervals not wider than the distance between the punctures. 

 Length 2.5-4 mm. 



Lake, Wells and Vigo counties; scarce. January 1-July 21. 

 Occurs mostly in sandy localities, beneath rubbish, where it hiber- 

 nates as imago. 



LXIL Pachyonychia Chev. 1834. (Gr., "thick + joint. ") 



Represented in the eastern United States and Indiana by a 

 small, oblong, parallel smooth species, having the antennas a little 

 longer than half the body, the second and third joints short, nearly 

 equal in length, together longer than first but shorter than fourth, 

 joints 5 to 10 equal, not thickened as in the preceding genus ; hind 

 tarsi moderately long, the first two joints triangular, the fourth 

 inflated at apex.

 rowly reddish-yellow ; antennae black, the three basal joints paler. Thorax 

 convex, more than one-half broader than long, not narrowed in front, sides 

 feebly curved, margins thickened at front angles, hind angles dentiform; 

 surface sparsely and deeply punctate, the impression near base deep and

LXI1I. Blepharida Rogers. 1856. (Gr., "eye-lid.") 



Here belongs a single robust, oval species having the antenna 

 rather widely separated at base, half as long as body, first four 

 joints smooth, the second half as long as first; third and fourth 

 slender, each longer than second ; 5 to 10 broader than fourth, grad- 

 ually very slightly shorter and pubescent, 11th longer and with a
