7. STENOBOTHRUS CURTIPENNIS. Harr. 
Vertex expanding on each side immediately in front of the eyes, 
into an angular point a little more obtuse than a right-angle; margins 
raised, obtuse, converging in front to a right-angle; apex blunt; lateral 
foveolae distinct, linear. Face oblique, that of the male more so than 
that of the female, slightly arcuate; frontal costa very prominent, 
sides nearly parallel, flat or sub-convex above the ocellus, rest silicate; 
lateral carinae curving regularly from the inner margin of the eyes to 
the corners of the face. Antennae passing the thorax, especially in 
the male; thick, somewhat flattened, and slightly enlarged toward the 
apex; joints more contracted in the male. Sides of the pronotum 
somewhat compressed, especially on the lower posterior portion, giving 
to this part the appearance of being slightly indented and contracted, 
nearly parallel, but slightly widest in front; the three carinae distinct, 
equal, the lateral approximating in advance of the middle, about one- 
third the distance from the anterior border; slightly divergent from 
this point to the front border, more divergent posteriorly; the three 
are cut by the posterior incision a little behind the middle; posterior 
extremity obtusely rounded. Elytra and wings narrow, sometimes 
. shorter than, and sometimes passing the abdomen. Valves of the ovi¬ 
positor rather longer and more exserted than usual. 
Color. —Head and thorax brown; a broad, shining black stripe on the 
side, behind the eye, extending to the posterior extremity of the pro¬ 
notum along the upper margin, a portion of it extending above the 
lateral carina at the hind extremity; sometimes there is a longitudinal 
dark streak on the top of the head. Antennae yellowish-brown at the 
base, the rest brown or black. Elytra uniform pale reddish-brown; 
wings pellucid. Hind femora pale-brown or yellowish, except at the 
apex, which is black; hind tibiae black at the knee, rest pale red or 
yellow. Under side dull-yellow. 
Dimensions. — -f- —Length 0.75 to 0.84 inch, antennae 0.27 to 0.30 
inch; elytra 0.36 to 0.66 inch; hind femora 0.47 to 0.50 inch, m — 
Length 0.55 to 0.65 inch; antennae 0.35 to 0.37 inch; elytra 0.40 to 0.60 
inch; hind femora 0.42 to 0.44 inch. 
8. STETHEOPHYMA LINE AT A. Scudd. 
Vertex of the head broad, slightly swollen at the front border of 
the eyes; apex docked; edge raised to a ridge, with a median ridge 
extending over the whole top of the head; foveolae small, shallow, trian¬ 
gular. Pronotum rugose; lateral carinae parallel on the anterior half, 
somewhat divergent behind, not so high as the median, and much 
broken. Elytra long and slender, with no swollen curves; the costal 
border not so prominent near the base as is usual in this genus.
