resemblance in general form, and to some extent in details of structure, but 
differs in the number of abdominal segments, and in the form of the head, as 
well as in the elongation of the first tarsal joint. 
In the male the antenne are larger and almost pectinate, and the sides of the 
thorax are sinuate; in the female the antennz are strongly serrate, and the sides 
of the thorax are broadly rounded.

Pennsylvania, Dr. Melsheimer. ‘This species is very similar to the preceding ; 
it is, however, more dilated posteriorly, and the depression each side at the base 
of the thorax isless deep. The sides of the thorax above and beneath, and the 
tip of the abdomen, are indistinctly testaceous; the tibiz# and tarsi are pale 
yellow, while in the preceding, as in the next species, the tibiz# are black. The 
mies thorax in the male are nearly straight, in the female they are broadly 
rounded.

One specimen, Georgia. This species is more oblong than either of the others. 
The sides of the thorax are slightly rounded towards the base, and not at all 
testaceous ; the anterior margin is narrowly bordered with testaccous; the basal 
impressions are large and deep, so that the whole region of the anterior angles 
appears depressed ; the elytra, as in the two preceding species, are coarsely, not 
deeply punctured; at the base they are a Jittle wider than the base of the thorax ; 
posteriorly they are about one fifth wider than at the base; the legs are black, 
the base of the tibiw and the tarsi testaceous; the prosternum is pale tes- 
taceous.

Antenne basi approximate, articulo 1mo cylindrico 2do (2 et 3 2) parvo ro- 
tundato, sequentibus longioribus triangularibus. Frons angusta deflexa, apice 
emarginata. Labrum rotundatum, mandibulas obtegens; palpi filiformes, maxil- 
Jares elongati. Pedes tenues, tibiarum calcaribus obsoletis; tarsi articulo imo 
elongato, 2—4 brevibus, subtus breviter lobatis, unguiculari precedentibus

The body is very broad, subquadrate and moderately convex; the thorax 
very short, strongly narrowed in front, with the angles acute, and the sides 
broadly rounded. The head is small and defiexed, the eyes entire ; the proster- 
num is posteriorly produced, and rounded at the extremity, the mesosternum is 
searcely concave.

Pennsylvania; a typical specimen of this very rare insect was given me by 
Dr. Melsheimer. The antenne are, unfortunately, broken, so that, not know- 
ing the number of long joints, [ cannot determine whether the small round mass 
following the basal joint should be considered as a single joint, or two joints 
closely united.

Of this little family we have but two genera within our limits; in both of 
them the antenne are 11-jointed. In Sandalus the joints of the tarsi are lobed
