FAMILY LVI. — CISTELIDiE. 



sides almost straight on basal third, thence rounded and converging to apex 

 which is two-thirds as wide as base; disk rather coarsely, deeply and sparse- 

 ly punctate, with a short impressed line at middle of base and a rounded 

 shallow fovea each side. Elytra parallel to apical third, thence rounded to 

 tips ; surface with feebly impressed rows of rather coarse, close-set punc- 

 tures which become obsolete near apex ; intervals finely, sparsely and irregu- 

 larly punctate. Length 6.8-7.5 mm. 



Laporte and Kosciusko counties ; rare. June 22-July 1. Taken 

 by Duty at Cincinnati. Probably occurs throughout the State. 

 Our largest species ; readily separated from those preceding by the 

 prominent and contiguous front coxa?.

 1878, 618. 



Elongate, parallel. Color as in hinotata; pubescence fine, rather long 

 and sparse. Antennae stout, two-fifths as long as body. Eyes much larger 

 than in the preceding, separated by less than their width. Thorax distinctly 

 narrower than elytra, about one-half wider than long, broadly rounded on 

 sides ; disk strongly sloping on sides in front, rather coarsely and somewhat 

 densely punctate and with a median and two small lateral impressions near 

 base. Elytra with feebly impressed rows of small punctures; intervals 

 finely punctate. Length 5.5-6 mm. 



Steuben County; rare. May 22. The more narrow, elongate 

 body, larger eyes, stouter antenna and narrower thorax, with more 

 sloping sides, at once distinguish this from hinotata. Known here- 

 tofore only from Detroit, Michigan. 



M. analis Lee, length 6.S-7.6 mm., is recorded from New Jersey 

 and Michigan; M. lugubris Lee, length 6.4-7 mm., is known from 

 New York and Kansas; M. horni Dury, length 7.8 mm., was de- 

 scribed from Cincinnati. 



VI. Capnochroa Lec. 1862. (Gr., "smoke + color.") 



This genus is represented in the eastern United States, includ- 

 ing Indiana, by a single rather large brown species, having the an- 

 tenna? elongate, compressed and filiform, the third joint longer than 

 the second and one-half the length of fourth. 



2375 (7628). Capnochroa fuliginosa Melsh., Proc. Phil. Acad. Nat. Sci., 

 Ill, 1846, 59. 



Elongate-elliptical. Dark chestnut-brown to piceous ; antenna* and tarsi 

 paler; pubescence very short, rather dense on thorax, sparse elsewhere. 

 Thorax nearly twice as wide as long; sides parallel and nearly straight on 

 basal half, thence curved and strongly converging to apex, which is trun- 

 cate and less than one-half as wide as base; hind angles rectangular; sur- 

 face finely and densely punctate and with a small impression each side near
