May 11, 1914, at this latter jilaee, tliis species Avas ahnndant in a box of seed corn infested 
Avith a common grain Aveevil (Calandnt) and obtained from a local grocer. Formerly, I had

2'reseijt. Pubescence not es}iecially noticeable. The lateral carina is short, nearly Avholly 
transverse tind originates at the hiteral side of the fovea at cephalic margin of propodenin. A. 
rather common species. Tyjies re-examined.
