Psyche 
[ March 
Since writing the above I have received from Mr. D. K. 
Duncan two examples from “Base of Pinal Mts., Arizona,” 
which are quite surely specifically identical with my El 
Paso type. They differ only in having the dark shades on 
the pronotum almost washed out and those of the elytra 
completely so. 
Cryptocephalus cuneatus n. sp. 
Moderately robust, elytra distinctly narrowed from base 
to apex; color pale yellow; prothorax with three rather 
wide light brown vittse which do not quite attain the apex ; 
elytra with a narrow common sutural vitta and another 
scarcely wider from the humeral callus slightly abbreviated 
at apex, deep black. Antennae pale at base, infuscate 
apically. 
Head finely sparsely punctate, a narrow vertex line and 
a spot at base of antennae light brown. 
Prothorax shining, sparsely lightly and very finely punc- 
tate, the interstices between the punctures thickly set with 
very minute punctules. The brown vittae are subequal in 
width to the intervening yellow ones ; lateral margins finely 
edged with black except near the base. 
Elytra with similar ground sculpture of micro punctula- 
tion and with eight discal striae between the short sutural 
and the marginal stria, the sixth however imperfect and 
contained wholly within the lateral black vitta. The basal 
two punctures of the fourth discal stria are joined by a 
dark line. Epipleura blackish posteriorly, and externally 
so toward the base. 
Body beneath and legs pale. Prosternum slightly prom- 
inent at apex, feebly carinate along the middle, narrowly 
emarginate and obtusely bilobed behind. 
Length 3.4 mm. ; width 2 mm. 
Tybee Island, Georgia. A single male collected and sent 
me by the late G. R. Pilate. 
This very pretty little species bears an obvious resem- 
blance in size, form and pronotal markings to trivittatus , 
which, however, differs by its much more coarsely and 
closely punctate thorax, which because of a very fine alu- 
taceous ground sculpture in addition to the micro-punc-
