FAMILY LV - -TENEBRIOXID.E. 



front of bind angles ; sides distinctly curved ; surface finely and sparsely 

 punctate. Elytral striae more coarsely punctured than in impressa; the 

 intervals more distinctly punctulate. Length 8.5-9 mm. 



Throughout the State; common. February 11-Oetober 20. 

 Readily known from impressa by its smaller size and form of ter- 

 minal joint of antenna?. 



2325 (7485). Uloma ptjnctdiata Lee. New Sp. N. A. Col.. I. 1866, 124. 



Elongate-oval, subparallel. Uniform pale reddish-brown. Sides of tho- 

 rax parallel behind the middle. Intervals of elytra finely and densely punc- 

 tulate. Male with thorax not impressed Dear apex, and middle tibia* mucro- 

 nate. Otherwise as in impressa, which it closely resembles. Length 7- 

 8.5 mm. 



Lake County; scarce. July 21. Occurs beneath bark of pine. 

 Known heretofore only from the Southern States. 



Uloma men talis Horn, dark reddish-brown, length 8.5 mm., was 

 described from Texas and Kansas and has been recorded from Cin- 

 cinnati. 



EutocUa picea Melsh., black, shining, length 8.5 mm., is said to 

 "occur rather abundantly in the Middle States." 



Tribe IV, HETEROTARSINI. 



Small oval winged species, having the upper surface very coarse- 

 ly punctate and usually sparsely clothed with erect hairs ; head not 

 received in the thorax as far as the eyes, which are large and 

 coarsely granulated; front slightly dilated over the base & of the 

 mandibles; epipleurce narrow, extending to tips of elytra; front 

 coxae globose; middle ones with a distinct trochantin ; hind ones 

 slightly separated; tarsi coarsely pubescent beneath. Three genera 

 are recognized, all of which are probably represented in the State.

a. Antennae gradually thicker toward apex; body pubescent. 



XY. AX.EDTTS. 



aa. Antennae with the last three joints distinctly larger. 



6. Margin of thorax toothed ; body pubescent. XVI. Paratexetus. 

 lb. Margin of thorax simple ; body without hairs. Prateus. 



XV. An^dus. Blanch. 1845. (Gr., "shameless.")
