2. Eyes almost contiguous in front .... E. ashmeadi Csy. 
Eyes separated in front by 2/5 their maximum width 
E. melsheimeri (Lee.) 
3. Rami all less than 1/5 the total length of the antenna. 
Elytra brown, with a variegated paler pattern .... 
E. huachucanus sp.n. 
Some of the rami almost 2/5 total length of antenna. 
Elytra very dark brown, marked with reddish at the 
humeri E. b idler i sp.n. 
I have before me a single male of melsheimeri I col- 
lected in LaSalle Co., Illinois, June 29, 1938, and compared 
several years ago with the type in the LeConte collection. 
A male of ashmeadi collected at Gainesville, Florida, 
March 4, 1947, by H. V. Weems, Jr., has been loaned by 
Mr. C. A. Frost. What I take to be the female of this 
species is before me from Fairfax Co., Virginia, collected 
in June, 1923, by Mr. Quirsfeld, on loan from the Cornell 
collection. 
It seems inadvisable to attempt a key to the females 
at this time, there being little to compare them with in 
other genera. The peculiar structure and pubescence at 
the base of the pronotum, as described under butleri, may 
be diagnostic of the genus. The female of ashmeadi has 
antennal segment II very sharply, obliquely truncate at 
base. In females of butleri and huachucanus segment II 
is simple. What appears to be still another undescribed 
species is represented by a single female from Sta. Rita 
Mts., Arizona, July 30, 1938, collected by D. J. & J. N. 
Knull. This is in most respects like the female of huachu- 
canus but has the elytra pale and has the eyes more deeply 
emarginate than the female of that species. The emargina- 
tion is almost ogival rather than rounded, as it is in 
huachucanus and butleri. This specimen is being returned 
to the collection of the Ohio State University. 
Emelinus butleri sp.n 
Very dark brown, the humeri of the elytra broadly 
rufous. Bases of legs pale. Sparsely and quite evenly 
clothed with short cinereous pubescence. Rami of male 
antennae short, all less than 2/5 as long as antenna and
