the indention flanked by a pair of feeble elevations on the 
disc. The pubescence is peaked posterior to these eleva- 
tions, leaving the slight median indentation free of setae. 
Surface shiny, densely and deeply punctured and sparsely, 
evenly pubescent, as on head. Scutellum truncate, densely 
punctured. Elytra almost parallel-sided, evenly, conjointly 
rounded behind, 2.44 mm. long, 0.87 mm. wide at humeri, 
ca. 1.1 mm. at widest. Basal 25%, except along suture, 
rufous. This zone is not sharply defined. Omoplate area 
slightly, conjointly elevated. Surface shiny, deeply punc- 
tured but not as densely as on pronotum, the middle of 
the punctures ca. 0.05 mm. apart. (On the disc of the 
pronotum they are ca. 0.03 mm. apart). All of the dorsal 
punctures have rounded bottoms. Pubescence correspond- 
ingly sparser, longer, about 0.09 mm. long, decumbent, all 
cinereous, not at all influenced by the ground color. 
Underside dark brown, the coxae and trochanters, as 
well as the inner edge of the front and middle femora, 
paler. Suture between the first and second apparent 
abdominal sternites distinct all the way across. Posterior 
femora thickened beyond middle, ca. 2 times as thick as 
at base. First segment of the posterior tarsi 0.44 mm. 
long, the rest together 0.28; ratio of the first to the rest 
1.54: 1. 
Allotype female: differs from the male most notably 
in the absence of rami on the antennae, also in the size 
of the eyes. Segments IV-X are truncate basally and apically, 
as in the male, but there is no sign of any projections in 
the places where the rami occur in that sex. These seg- 
ments are articulated anterior to the middle. The antennae 
are 1.66 mm. long, on a specimen 3.9 mm. in total length, 
or 0.43 the length of the body. The individual measure- 
ments (to a total length of 1,000 units) are: 129/61, 61/46, 
109/42, 92/46, 84/46, 77/46, 77/48, 77/48, 77/48, 77/60, 
138/77. It will be noted from these figures that segment 
XI is of more normal proportions than in the male, where 
XI appears, at first glance, to be just one more ramus on 
the flabellate antennae. The eyes are 0.44 mm. X 0.22 mm. 
and are separated by 0.22 mm. The posterior tarsi are
