No. 1604. NEW CURCULIONID BEETLES—PIERCE. 181 
PSEUDANTHONOMUS KRAMERIAE, new species. 
Numerous specimens were bred from the buds of Avameria secundi- 
flora taken at Dallas, Texas, May 15, 1907, College Station, Texas, 
May 16. 
This species belongs close to validus and hamamelidis, having the 
pubescence arranged densely as in the latter. It is considerably 
smaller however. 
Length 1.5 mm. Prothorax wider than long. Differs mainly 
from hamamelidis by having the sixth to tenth elytral interspaces 
form the humeri, by the very prominently raised third interspace. 
The humeri are more densely pubescent, the elytral striae are less 
impressed. The two species are very similar, but the radical dif- 
ference in breeding habit shows them to be greatly removed. 
The pup will probably show greater differences and those. of 
hamamelidis are therefore greatly desired for comparison with 
krameriae.
