joints shorter, but longer than broad, each clad with a whorl of 
elongate linear scales; club oval, pubescent, very compact. Head 
very minutely punctate, concentrically rugulose. Prothorax slightly 
longer than wide, sides converging from base to apex, very feebly — 
convex; apex straight, base very shehtly canvexly angled, slightly 
notched in front of scutel. Elytra one-half wider at base than. 
thorax, humeri rounded, sides straight, a little more than one-half 
longer than wide, individually rounded at apex, striae and interspaces 
indicated by difference in scales, striae not greatly impressed. Pygid- 
ium greatly exposed, elongate, subtruncate at apex, horizontal, trans- 
versely impressed. 
Thorax beneath long in front of coxae; middle coxae moderately 
separated. First abdominal rather short behind coxae, but long at 
sides; second elongate; third short; fourth presumably short, but so 
closely united to fifth that the suture has almost disappeared; fourth 
and fifth almost as long as three preceding, transversely impressed 
opposite impression of pygidium, the apices of pygidium and venter 
thus greatly diverging.

PSEUDANTHONOMUS CRATAEGI Walsh. 
This species was found very abundant in crataegus trees at Natchi- 
toches and Shreveport, Louisiana, March 27 and 28, 1907, by R. A. 
Cushman and W. D. Pierce. 
PSEUDANTHONOMUS HAMAMELIDIS, new species. 
One specimen bred August 30, 1907, from witch hazel fruit col- 
lected at Afton, Virginia, by F. W. Foster (Hopkins, No. 6629). 
Several specimens bred August 25, 1894, from Hamamelis virgine- 
ana Linneeus, Lake George, New York, J. L. Zabriskie, collector. 
This species is of about the same size and general appearance as 
crataegi and validus, but differs from both by having the prothorax 
less constricted at apex, by its coarse, long, evenly distributed and 
denser yellowish pubescence, and by its rather hghter color. 
Length 2mm. Oblong-oval, rufo-testaceous, rather closely clothed 
with long yellowish pubescence. Scrobes oblique, scarcely directed 
against lower margin of eyes. Prothorax not much wider than long, 
rounded to apex, slightly constricted before apex; strongly, densely, 
and deeply punctured ; pubescence very slightly condensed on median 
line at base. LElytra one-third wider at base than prothorax; striae 
deeply impressed, punctures large and distinct; imterspaces convex, 
shining, equal in width except at base where the third and fifth are 
longer, the intervening striae being confluent; the seventh, eighth, 
and ninth interspaces are confluent to form the humeri.
